KAREN MCLAUGHLIN

I have been married to my husband for just over 20 years. We have a 19 year old daughter and a 14 year old son. We emigrated from England 14 years ago and now live on the sunny Central Coast.. I work part time as a carer for the elderly which I really enjoy. One word to describe myself would be ‘Content’. Favourite food would be salad – just kidding, it’s chocolate of course!

I have been scrapbooking for around 7 years. I started when a friend invited me over to ‘have a go’ after I had been admiring her pages. I have been addicted ever since. I get my inspiration from photos, magazines, blogs and just being around other scrapbookers is always inspiring. 

 I would describe my scrapping style as layered (a bit shabby but tend to try anything new). My favourite subject to scrap would be family and friends. I see my scrapping as being a lifetime diary.

Hi, I'm Karyn! 

I am a busy working mum with 3 kids. My husband and I run a very successful manufacturing business and have done for the past 10+ years.

My crafting obsession began about 7 years ago with card making. My next door neighbour introduced me to it and I made a Valentines Day card for my husband. It had stamping and embossing and fussy cutting........I was HOOKED!

I have had a number of cards published in Cardmaking, Stamping and Papercraft over the past few years and just recently had my first layout published in Scrapbooking Memories.

I would describe my style as mostly vintage, eclectic and girly. However I do like to work with simple clean lines as well. I enjoy working with lots of different mediums and will give anything a go!

Hi, I’m Leonie!

I have been into craft since I was very young, however I only discovered scrapping around 6 years ago after I got married and decided to scrap my wedding photos for my first ever project. It makes me cringe to look at that album now! It’s very basic. What I love about scrapping though is that you are always learning new things and you can certainly see yourself getting better as you go along. It’s a very rewarding thing to do and paper is a such a wonderful, tactile, versatile thing to work with. I hope that my children Tyler (4) and Holly (2) will one day enjoy looking through the memories I am documenting. 

I’m a big fan of Graphic 45, Kaisercraft and My Minds Eye, and love mixing new store-bought products with vintage laces and embellishments. I’m looking forward to putting together some lovely projects for Pages 2 Scrap!
