Fact File Age: 42 Family: Husband, Shane of 22 years. Son Cameron (21), daughter Kaitlyn (19) and a ADHD Fox terrier x Jack Russell called Xander. Occupation: Director and early childhood educator of a child care centre. This experience has given me an insight to the importance of the process of creating rather than only focusing on the end product. Scrappy style: Art-based with lots of texture, paint, mixed media and mess. Other hobbies/interests: Camping in the wilderness. I even scrapbook while I’m camping. I call it Scramping! Favourite techniques: Using watercolours and acrylics to create backgrounds. Fun fact: Many years ago, I stated at a scrapbooking party “I will never be a scrapbooker. It’s just not my thing!” I bought a black ink pad, a stamp and some patterned…

Occupation: I have my own business, Studio M desiGns. I also run weekend ScrapMedia workshops in Mackay and sell kits and mixed-media supplies online.

Occupation: Customer service at Department of Human Services Scrappy style: I’m a 12in x 12in scrapper and my style chops and changes. I love creating a mixed-media page, with lots of texture and mediums, and at the same time I love creating clean pages. As long as there’s lots of layers, that’s my style. Other hobbies/interests: Reading. My husband bought me a Kindle in 2009, as soon as they started shipping them to Australia and I can’t go a day without…

Just like many of you, Amber Crowell is a busy wife, mother, friend, daughter, co-worker, neighbour, volunteer....and scrapbooker! Four years ago, instead of scrapbooking as a creative outlet, it started to become just another job on her to-do list that she didn’t have time for. Amber started storing her printed photos in divided 4in x 6in page protectors in a 12in x 12in album – just so her children could view them before she scrapbooked them. The first time her family looked through this ‘album’ together, they laughed and reminisced. That’s when she realised what her hobby was all about. Amber loved the concept of simply inserting photos into divided page protectors, along with decorative scrapbook elements, for quick and easy scrapbooking and instant gratification. Instead of cutting, cropping, embellishing…

Fact File Age: 34 (when did that happen?!) Family: I’m married to a great guy, Matt, mama to three gorgeous girls who are 6 (Isabella), 4 (Charlotte) and 1 (Olivia). We have 2 fur babies (dogs). Occupation: I’m a stay at home mother but I have degrees in Japanese studies, marketing and primary teaching! Scrappy style: It really varies, but lately I tend towards a mixed-media style. I love big portions of white space but I also love huge amounts of glorious colour. Other hobbies/interests: I’ve just learnt to crochet, and I love it. I try to spend some time studying Japanese whenever I can. I’m also very interested in nutrition and I’ve been spending a lot of time cultivating our new vegie garden! Favourite techniques: Using Gelatos as paints,…

Fact File Age: You never ask a girl her age! But I on am the wrong side of 40. Family: I live with three teenage boys (one of those being my husband...he has never grown up). 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 do a lot of masculine pages due to the lack of females in our house...it’s me or the dog! Other hobbies/interests: I dabble in a bit of photography (don’t we all as scrappers?) much to my family’s horror, love a good book (can never turn my brain off to…

Other hobbies/interests: Reading, photography. Favourite techniques: Layering, hand-written journalling, splatters of mist, inking the edges of everything with brown ink.
