Stuff 2 Scrap: scrapbooking and laser cutting

 

All about me...

I live in the suburb of Morphett Vale in South Australia with my husband and three children. I work part-time for a boss who is totally awesome.

I’m a self taught scrapper and have been scrapbooking since late 2003. Although when I first started I didn’t realise that it was scrapbooking. It wasn’t until 12 months later that I discovered my first scrapbooking magazine in the newsagents and from there my local scrapbooking shop ~ and so my scrapping journey began.

The passion I have for scrapbooking serves two purposes for me. One is to document the, who, what, where and why for my children’s future reference and the second is for the joy of the craft. I love to get my fingers sticky with glue and enjoy the whole process of scrapbooking from picking which photos to scrap to the shopping for new products.

I have come a long way since those early days, although I find that my layouts are still bright and funky & I have always enjoyed making my own chipboard embellishments. I like to incorporate my other craft passions into my pages like sewing, stitching, using lots of ribbons and trimmings and scraps of materials.

My favourite technique is to doodle the edges of my patterned paper, photos, chipboard embellishments ~ rather than inking them.

I have always been a crafting person but scrapbooking is certainly my number one addiction!
