I've been digi-scrapping since February 2005, not long after my son was born. I have always loved anything creative, and used to draw a lot when I was young, and do a lot of different crafts (just ask me about my garden gnome venture!). I think for years I was yearning to do something creative, just didn't know what, and when I stumbled across digi-scrapping I just had to find out more and give it a try. It didn't take long to become completely and utterly addicted, but hey, I don't drink tea or coffee and I don't smoke, so I need some sort of vice, right?!

Inspiration : colour and pattern found in the most unlikely places...magazines, clothes, billboards, antiques
Loves : I love my family and spending time pottering around the farm. I love turkish delight, singing into my hair brush and a night out with friends!

I was first dragged along to a paper scrapping party by my sister-in-law and while I loved the idea it frustrated me as I can't rule a straight line with a ruler, let alone cut one out! Then I stumbled across a digi scrapping site while surfing online (long time net addict) and it seemed right up my alley. A little over three years later and I am still scrapping digitally and loving it! Now I am designing and even starting to dabble in some small off the page paper projects! I've suddenly found my creativity and most importantly I am having fun!

Inspiration : My first and most important inspiration is my family and telling our stories. Then I am always ready to be astonished and inspired by the glories of nature. I love playing with colour, and there is always inspiration in other scrappers' galleries and stories. Finally, I hate to admit that I am sometimes inspired by the media, particularly clever advertising campaigns.
Loves : My family, living in the country, blogging, cadbury chocolate, and scrapbooking!

I'm a forty-something homebody, homeschooling six of our seven children (the eldest lives and works away from home), happily married for 20 years, and living our dream on a small farm in Gippsland. I spend way too long on the computer, especially cruising blogs and scrap sites, but I don't watch much TV. I'm addicted to Suduko puzzles, and don't read nearly as much as I used to. I've been scrapping for six years, trying to keep my memories before I lose my mind completely.

User Name : carolegn
Blog : It is what it is
Scrapping tools : PSCS2 (also have PSPx & PSE2)
Inspiration : Primarily, my inspiration for both scrapping and designing comes from my children and family, and my love for the art of scrapping in general. I guess they inspire my "themes" more than anything, and the inspiration for the products I design come largely from magazines (both paper-scrapping and general magazines), catalogues, other artworks, layout galleries, gift wraps and greeting cards, and very much music and songs as well.
Loves : Patchwork and quilting (though I'm yet to delve into it too much other than just studying it and admiring it), white chocolate, zoos and animal parks, my bed and it's electric blanket, hot cups of tea, long hot showers and bubble baths, browsing recipe books and scrapping magazines.

I'm living in the Southern Highlands of NSW, Australia, about an hour or so south of Sydney, married to my high school sweetheart (now for 9 years) and Mum to my 5 year old, Travis, and 3 year old, Cooper, with another bundle due in July 2007. I have a collection of pets surrounding me...birds in averies outside and cages inside...fish in the tank...and most importantly, my 4 year old labrador Emma and brand new boxer pup, Lucy. We run our own franchise business in commercial coolroom maintenance and cleaning, which I do most of the office side of. Scrapbooking galleries and magazines had me hooked for a good couple of years, without me ever being able to bring myself to invest in supplies or face bringing all those little bits and pieces out every time I wanted to make a page, when I discovered digital scrapping at the beginning of 2005. Digital scrapping was the perfect fit for myself. Not having a lot of awareness about commercial kits or the funds to spend on them even if I had, I was making my own *very lame at that point* papers and elements right from the start. In October that year, I began down the track of commercial designing and still love it and am grateful for the opportunity every day.

Inspiration : I am inspired by all of the gorgeous colours out there and patterns I see in day-to-day life. Especially the ones on kids clothing! My family are definitely a huge inspiration too, after all, they are who I scrap!
Loves : My family without a doubt, scrapbooking, photography, arts & crafts and walking on the beach to unwind.

I have always loved to do anything artsy. Growing up I was right into drawing and photography. But who would have thought that I would end up stumbling across Digital Scrapbooking! It was a match made in heaven. I started by making layouts (as scary as they looked LOL) and thought to myself, hey I can do this! So that is what got me designing my own creations. The inspiration of other designers work really got me going and I haven't looked back since. I think you call it an 'addiction'. ROFL!

Inspiration : I find inspiration in all things, from colours, books, food, objects you name it!! It’s funny how we can all see the same thing in many different ways.
Loves : My family, creating, relaxing, reading, photography, cooking and watching movies.

I have been digi-scrapping since July-06 when, after purchasing a whole pile of paper scrapping supplies and realising that I could NOT cut such lovely paper, let alone cover it all up!! I looked into digi-scrapping and found a little piece of Heaven! I love the freedom or being able to experiment with all different techniques and being able to press the undo button LOL! Not long after I starting designing my own products to use and well as they say – the rest is history.
I live in the quiet town of Melton in Victoria, Australia with my partner of 9 years and our three monkeys, Jemma, Zayne and Samuel, as well as our Staffi dog, Max. My kids are the main focus in my scrapping pages as you’ll see from my gallery if you take a peek. I feel so privileged to be in a position to have others use my art to preserve their memories with. Happy Scrapping!

Inspiration : My teenage daughter is my greatest inspiration with her tomboyish attitude yet at times I can still see the feminine side of her! LOL I get inspired with the clothing she wears, books and magazines she reads and her fun and lively outlook to life. I love browsing through the gallery. Photos of events make me think of a new design. Shopping or walking my dog have never been the same any more since I started designing. I look at everything and wonder what I could do with it!
Loves : I love that my family spends a lot of time laughing, chatting and doing projects together. I enjoy cooking, food carving and entertaining with good friends. I love gardening and a good book in bed. Creating a layout is as much fun as designing a kit. Last but not least, I love my dog.

Scrapping tools : iMac, PSCS2, Illustrator CS2, Bamboo Tablet, scanner, paper and pens!
Inspiration : There is no one place that I could say that I get my inspiration from, it's everywhere around me, colours, patterns, texture, type. Sometimes my inspiration creeps up on me when I least expect it, something catches my eye, and I end up thinking to myself 'now that would make the great start-off for a kit', and then I think about names, as it gives what I am creating more of a personality!
Loves : My family, my partner, my close group of friends, eating chocolate, drinking wine, snowboarding, being creative, reading and visiting places I have never been before!

Scrapping Style : I don't know that I have any particular scrapping style, but I guess if I look at a lot of my recent LO's, you could say that I like working with "shabby" papers.
Inspiration : I would have to say my children inspire me seeing as they are the subjects of most of my pages!
Five things you love : Well I could be smart and say my husband Mark, and my children Monique, Joshua, Stephanie and Aimee because that's five things *lol* Other than that I would say I love having fun, catching up with friends, chatting on msn, cooking & reading a good book

I am married to my DH Mark, and I am a SAHM to our four beautiful children, Monique, Joshua, Stephanie and Aimee. I am normally not a very creative person, but when I stumbled into the world of digital scrapping, my creativity suddenly appeared and now there's no stopping me!

Scrapping style : My scrapping style is pretty varied. For the most part I like my layouts to look as though they are paper scrapped. I have noticed an unhealthy obsession with circles, which I am desperately trying to ween myself off. I love trying different things, always trying to stretch myself and grow as a scrapper.
Inspiration : I am inspired by many things around me. Inspiration for layouts can come from magazine ads, CD covers, clothing, posters and nature.

I am married, have two lovable Bernese Mountain dogs and live right near the Blue Mountains in Sydney. My favourite way to relax and unwind is to go scuba diving, or if im feeling lazy, just relaxing in the Blue Mountains National Park listening to the birds. I love being outdoors!! During the day I work as a Health Inspector, and I love it. I was about 10 when I decided thats what I want to do after seeing the "Basil the Rat" Episode of Fawlty Towers. Fortunately, I haven't come across too many rats in my inspections!!

Inspiration : I am driven by a passion to gather, to create, to capture memories, moods, feelings and life's experiences, hoping this will, in turn, inspire others to capture their journey in life and keep their memories alive.
Loves : I love spending time with my husband and my kids they are so important to me. I love country décor; you know handmade dolls, quilts, old rustic things, and old English china. I just can’t go past gorgeous handmade cards and gifts….whether I am the one making them or receiving them.

Hi I’m Chris. I’m a SAHM to 4 gorgeous children, 2 boys and 2 girls, who are my absolute inspiration for scrapping. I’ve been married to the most wonderful husband, Tim, for 20 years. We live in Bendigo, in Central Victoria here in Australia. I started out as a paper scrapper 4+ years ago. When it comes to paper scrapping, I’ve had the wonderful opportunity to be a part of a DT for 12-18 months and have been teaching from home as well as at a LSS for the past 18 months. I started digital scrapping towards the end of 2005 and love the very fact that I can combine both allowing me more freedom to be as creative as only my imagination allows. As a “biscrapper” and a “tradigital scrapper”…the possibilities are just amazing..

Scrapping style : I don't think I have developed a particular style yet, but I believe that my style is changing and evolving all the time. My pages usually reflect my feelings and I love to use elements to tell a story as I'm not great with journaling.
Inspiration : My inspiration can come from many places but usually starts with photos of my girls. When I open a kit from a designer, I tend to look at the elements first and see how they relate to me, my life and my family. From there a page is born.

I'm a single SAHM to two very cheeky girls, Jada 2yrs, Octavia 6yrs, and a playful rainbow lorikeet, Bugga. I care for my disabled Mum full time now and I sometimes refer to her as the third child...LOL! We live about 3 hours down the coast from Sydney in a quiet country/coastal town. I spend most of my spare time on the computer or behind my camera..

Scrapping tools : PSCS2
Scrapping style : My scrapping style is negative space, and lots of it! I love the uncluttered look, and prefer to keep the main photo the focus of my layouts. I like to use meaningful quotes and emotive journaling. I am slowly learning and challenging myself to add more to my layouts, be it a ribbon, flower or brad. I love clean-cut designs like Kate Fairlie and DebF, and have recently fallen in love with Tracy Ann Digital Art. There are just so many designs to choose from in digi-land, and I love what different interpretations people have with the same products.
Inspiration : My inspiration is my kids, first and foremost. Documenting our lives is just so important to me and I'm looking forward to handing over to each one their album of their infancy, childhood and adolescence, and hope they appreciate this window to their lives.

My husband and I have been married since March 2000. I have a son, Samuel, who was born 8 weeks premature in November 2002. My first daughter, Gabrielle, was born sleeping at 21 weeks in April 2004 and is my angel watching over us all. My second daughter, Olivia, who was born 12 weeks premature arrived in October 2005. I work part-time as an Executive Assistant, and use retail therapy as my stress relief every moment I can! I love the creative outlet that scrapping gives me, and find it necessary to function week by week..
