This month our wonderful sponsors are...

SCRAP THERAPY...
Danny and I purchased Scraptherapy as a small, pre-existing online store in July 2008, as a small part-time venture. Since then we have seen amazing growth, now offering over 10,000 products.

We have closed our other business to focus wholly on Scraptherapy, opening a Paper Craft Bricks and Mortar store in Babinda, FNQ to run in conjunction with the online site. During the last 2+ years we have learnt a whole load of stuff about e-commerce, scrapbooking, cardmaking and the people who love these hobbies.

At www.scrapthearpy.com.au you will find a fantastic gallery filled with inspiring ideas, a great community of ladies and an odd guy or two in our online forum. Our Design Team backed up by our Big Sisters offer regular competitions and challenges to help you find your mojo, and a chance to win a shopping voucher or two. Then of course there is the shop where we hope you will find all the latest and greatest products at great prices. If you can’t find what you are looking for feel free to contact me at lee-anne@scraptherapy.com.au and check to see if we can get it in for you. We often can.

All our freight is fixed at $6 whether you choose our express post service or our postage with insurance option, and orders over $60 will get a little bonus pressie popped in with their order.

I love scrapbooking and Danny can whip up a pretty good card, but our true passion is excelling in great customer service, which we hope to continue to do for years to come.

Scrapware is an Australian owned and operated wholesale business, located in Croydon, Victoria.

Created by Ange Connolly following her passion for scrapbooking, card making and “all things creative”, Scrapware designs and laser cuts embellishments and beyond the page projects. After spending some time teaching Scrapbooking classes, Ange identified the need for good quality, innovative and fresh embellishments for scrapbooking/card making and off the page projects to complement products already on the market.

Karen Grose...

A little about Karen...

Hi everyone, I'm Karen and I live in downtown Melbourne. I have 3 boys who are my trusty scrapping subjects. Have been scrapping for almost 5 years now but have only really had more time to do it (and become quite addicted !!) in the past 12 months. I am a SAHM, who works part time as a swimming teacher. I am also dabbling in cake making and (trying) to study bookeeping. I don't really know what my style is, it is still evolving. However I love color and paint and you will always see both of these on my LOs. The more colors and layers the better !! I love to blog hop and find it very inspiring and therapeutic and love a good challenge!!

Lindy Gillespie...
Here is a little about Lindy...

Hi my name is Lindy & I live in sunny Brisbane . I am married with 2 grown up children Craig and Kate and a very old Poodle named Charlie and an obnoxious cat called Java -and like any animals are very much part of the family.

I have been scrapping for about 7 years & first stumbled across a bricks and mortar store which caught my eye so i had to investigate to my surprise was immediately addicted ....

I'm not sure that I have a particular scrapping style....it is forever changing. Atm i'm a bit addicted to paint and misting and most of my work have at least a couple of flowers and a number of embellisments on them. There are many that inspire me love seaching through the home magazines and the colour catalogues.

Belinda Spencer...

My name is Belinda Spencer and I have been scrapping since 2003. I live on a farm in the Adelaide Hills with my husband Brenton, my two children; Hayley, almost 6 and William 4½, our dog Merlin and cat Noodle as well as lots of cows, deer and chooks (not to mention the native fauna).

My main focus for scrapbooking has always been 12” x 12” layouts but more recently I have become addicted to cardmaking and artist trading cards.

My style tends to include elements of shabby chic, vintage, fussy cutting and a touch of grunge. I love to include texture, dimension and different techniques. I love to get inspiration from my children, blog surfing, magazines, product and other scrappers that I admire.

I have been published in Scrapbook Creations and Scrapbooking Memories magazines and had a Guest Design Team Spot on the Darkroom Door blog.

I currently teach at Charlotte’s Web in Adelaide, am a Design Team member at Purple Pumpkin and participate in as many blog challenges as I can fit in each month.

Charmane Koch...
A Little about Charm...

I have been scrapping since May 2004, and if I'm not scrapping, I'm thinking about it - it's MY LIFE! I love the fact that my creativity also represents what my family and I are up to... which is why I started scrapping in the first place - to document my family's life!

We have recently moved from the city {melbourne} to the country and are now experiencing a new life and I enjoy scrapping the changes we have been making! Throughout my years of scrapping, I have been lucky enough to be published numerous times in different Aussie Scrapbooking Magazines, and on a few Design Teams and Creative Teams, and been lucky enough to teach online too!
I also love that through scrapbooking I have made sooooo many friends - and mostly from all around Australia, not just in my local area!

PAULA PERRY...
A little about Paula...

Hi, my name is Paula Perry...I'm lucky enough to have my dream job of being a SAHM to my 3 gorgeous kids, who are my scrapping inspiration, DD's 15 & 13, DS 9. I'm also blessed to be with my very supportive husband of 20 years.
I've been scrapping since about 2003, when I attended a Creative Memories party. I've always had an interest in photography & craft since high school & would kept journals to record various events, so this was perfect for me. I love the fact that as well as being a huge creative outlet for me, I am also recording the memories of everyday life & special events for my kids to look back on in years to come.
Through my albums, they will never ever wonder about my love for them. I've certainly learnt over the years that memories can fade & stories can get lost forever, so this craft is very important to me & I wished I had discovered it sooner!
