Hello, hello. My name
is Karen and I live in Essex with my lovely husband of 30 years. We have one daughter – Gracia and a Golden
Retriever – Kiera, Gracia and Kiera are the main focus of my scrapbook
pages. I have been scrapbooking for
about 10 years, having been introduced to it by my best friend and during that
time have been published most UK scrapbook magazines and have been on the
design teams for Scrapagogo and Shimelle.
I am currently on the design team for A Trip Down Memory Lane.
I have loved to craft since my grandma taught me to knit and
sew when I was five and have been ‘making stuff’ ever since. Once I discovered scrapbooking all other crafts
fell by the wayside. My style is very layered and full on and my friends joke
that if you can get more than one of my pages into a page protector then it
can’t be finished yet. My style is
constantly evolving with each new challenge.
Crafting is an inherent part of my everyday life – I have to
do something creative every day or my day doesn’t feel complete. I like to scrap my frustrations, my triumphs,
my love of life and my family, I like to record the sad, funny, ordinary and
just plain weird things that happen in our everyday life, I scrap the
everyday. I am not an acid free scrapper
as I like to add all sorts to my pages.
I bought a Cameo three years ago and never looked back. Now almost every one of my projects uses it
to some degree or other and I am constantly finding new ways to utalise this
amazing machine. As I run a Rainbow Pack
it is s
o useful for cutting out quick projects for the girls to make.
I am thrilled to be part of this ultra talented group of
girls who will be showcasing their amazing projects over the next year.
Some of my favourite projects.
What amazing scrap book pages each one so different and beautifully done. Look forward to seeing more of your fabulous creations.
