This month we introduce ...

Australia

Hi Scrap Friends,

As part of my DT role with White with ..1 I'm on the blog today sharing a little about myself and a little peek into my scrapping space!

Please enjoy and of course, feedback is always welcome!

***

How would you describe your personal scrapbooking style?

I describe my style as PPM: Paper + medium - I'm not truly mixed media but my layouts will almost always include some medium, ie acrylic paint, texture paste, sprays/mists, inks and Distress Crayons.

How long have you been scrapbooking and what first got you started?

My mum was a Creative Memories consultant 15+ years ago - I started then. I took a break for marriage and babies but came back and joined the digital world in 2014.

Which colour are you drawn to the most and do you know why? 

It fluctuates regular, I've recently been through stages of yellow followed by a stage where I created a lot in turquoise/aqua. I'm definitely drawn to brights. I really struggle with neutrals and pastels.

Typically how many photos do you put on your layout? 

Typically one or two. The creative process for me is an artistic release with the bonus of being a memory recorded so I'm drawn to layouts with one to two photos and a pleasing balance of white space and creativity.

What crafting tool can’t you live without?

Probably my Scotch ATG - It's big and bulky but it seriously saves so much time because you don't have to peel the backing off the adhesive! LOL 

If you could only add only one embellishment to your page what would it be? 

Probably stickers - They are so versatile, backgrounds, titles, embellishing - so many uses.

I love to look at other peoples craft rooms, so I thought I'd share a peek into mine ...

I've given you the real version of my space - toy cars and all!

Late last year, I also did a video tour of my craft space.

Here's the video, if you'd prefer a live view.

(About 5 minutes in the tour starts :)

I hope you enjoyed the peek into my space.

This month we introduce  ...

Australia

How long have you been scrapbooking and what first got you started?

I started scrapbooking about 15 years ago when my third child was 2 (so I had a lot of catching up to do) But didn't really get into it fully until my last child was born and she seems to have more pages scrapped of her as her photos were all digital. As I can recall my Mum got me started.

What part of creating do you enjoy the most?

Well just recently we moved house so now I have a massive new room to create in, but I love all parts of scrapping, just sitting there and working on a project is a good way to de-stress and forget about the world.

Which colour are you drawn to the most, and do you know why?

Most of the time I try to match the colour to the photo unless it's a black & white photo, but I would say I tend to stick to Blues, Aquas, Purples, Pinks and sometime Yellow mainly as I have 3 girls and only 1 boy. They seem to be my favourites.

Typically how many photos do you put on your layout?

I mainly only use 1 photo on my layouts, every now and then 2 or 3. If I do use 2 or more they have to be a small photo.

If you could go to a retreat location anywhere (real or not) where would you go?

It would have to be to the Pacific Islands or Island Hopping on a Cruise ship, have always wanted to go on a cruise and putting the two together would be a dream. But as long as I have my scrapbook retreat buddies with me anywhere would be fine.
