Age: 42 Family: Husband, Shane of 22 years. Son Cameron (21), daughter Kaitlyn (19) and a ADHD Fox terrier x Jack Russell called Xander.

He is growing up so fast and his face is changing in shape and expression. I realised then that my baby is gone and I am so glad I have so many moments captured in photos. I usually scrap with small photos so to use a 5in x 7in photo presented quite the challenge. Once I decided to tackle this larger size photo as I would a grouping or grid of smaller photos, I…

Being black and white it was actually perfect for this challenge. I wanted to keep the page like my daughter, colourful but grunge. Wearing mostly black with Dr Martens boots, she is no girly girl but her personality shines bright and is pretty loud, so I wanted to create the impression of texture without the bulk. I achieved this by layering…

Like most of us, my boys are the reason I scrap and I base my layouts around the photo. I recently…

I was inspired by this formal photo of my eldest. I tried to make it the ‘hero’ by creating a muted background with lots of layers, making the photo pop! It can be a challenge scrapping teens – especially boys – so I wanted to keep it masculine and grungy, something…

Every design idea I had, came directly from it. The colours, the embellishments, the title and the design of the layout were all chosen to complement it. As I do with most of my boy layouts, I like to make them a bit grungy, which was why I chose a paint drip affect and some crazy stitching around the photo to frame it. The embellishments are also a bit grungy with torn paper and corrugated…

Since my daughter has left home she has had her own trials and…

We also have a dog and two rabbits that complete our happy family. Occupation: Retired Physical Education teacher. Scrappy style: I don’t think I really have a style as such but do love all things messy, so I guess I am a mixed-media scrapper.

I have a newly discovered love of mixed media and by using many different…
