Crece Thomas - I’m a 33 year old stay at home wife and mum to 2 boys,12 & 10.
I have been scrapbooking for around 6 years now. I don’t think I have an exact style of scrapping. I think the best way to explain my scrapping is a bit of everything. I love trying new ideas and techniques and creating handmade embellishments.
I am currently on the Scrapmatts Design Team and Scrap The Boys challenge Blog.

Mandie Meier - Hi there! My name is Mandie and I am completely obsessed with all things crafty, especially scrapping!! I love creating everything from layouts to altered projects and everything in between, I have a massive weakness for pretty papers and flowers…. But you can never have too many right!?!? I own a little scrap shop in Toowoomba called The Scrap Cottage and I enjoy teaching and sharing my work to inspire others on their own creative journeys. I'm happily married and mum to 4 amazing kids and mother-figure to another 4 amazing kids which gives me heaps of inspiration to preserve the day to day memories of our chaotic lives. Pop over to my blog and take a look around

Jodi McNamara - My name is Jodi McNamara, I'm a mother of three children who I adore, well most of the time! I've only been a Queenslander for the last two years, originally from Albury, NSW - where I spent my spare time doing scrapbooking! Queensland has really opened my eyes to the crafty world, I had never done cards, I had never been to a crop or god forbid... a retreat and defiantly knew nothing about Stampin' Up! Now moving here I have done it all, absolutely love doing craft and learning new things and meeting heaps of crafty people! My favourite pastime is "Paper Piecing" or sometimes called "Punch Art" - love putting little bits of paper together! I'm now a Stampin' Up! demonstrator which I have an addiction too... absolutely love there products and all their ideas! Can't wait to share some of the products with you and meet you all personally, Jodi xxxx

And then I saw all the vintage tones of the Teddy Bear Collection... took me ages to find the photo of our daughters in front of the Teddy Museum sign in South Korea! Possibly would of been quicker to find one of them 'with' their teddy! So I started putting some colours and patterns together - love the Tartan! My Brother, Scott 'used' to play the Bagpipes... so I can see more layouts being created with this Collection!
