 I have been Scrapbooking since 2001, and as an Arty type with an Associate Diploma in Creative & Applied Arts, I am drawn to the beautiful products and limitless potential they offer.

I must confess my addiction did not come into full fruition until I became a mum.  

I am a regularly published Scrapbooker and have appeared in For Keeps Magazine & Scrapbook Creations.

 My Unique style includes bold, bright colours, a little shabby chic and not much negative space.  I love decorative edges, flowers, flourishes, border punches, ribbon and the list goes on.

I am thrilled to begin my teaching journey with the team at Abundantias Gold and look forward to meeting you all in a class.  

HEATHER JACOB

One day in 2003 I spotted a scrapbook magazine & discovered this amazing hobby

 What do I love about scrapbooking ?

Scrapbooking is the perfect combination of art, photography, beautiful paper and glorious words. I can incorporate all the art & crafts I love in one hobby… for me scrap-booking is full of love and compassion, friendships & sharing , fun and laughter… Staying up late till the early hours scrapping with friends … creating works of art, HISTORY and leaving legacies for future generations.

I love the freedom of creating my own ideas & self expression & the challenge of creating something new & different. My books are a reflection of my life, my history, my family & friends…..also who I was yesterday and who I am today. I couldn’t ask for a better way to satisfy my need to create. ….I was thrilled & excited to receive a place in the…

FoR KEEPS  “Scrapbooking Awards for Excellence”  2006  section of CREATIVITY.

 My style …?

A classic style with attention to detail, meaningful  journaling & the use of strong colours.

 What is my favourite technique right now …?

Definitely with out a doubt .. STITCHING… and altering old books to use as journals.

 My trademark …?

Tags, quotes & beyond the page projects….

Single photo pages with stitching, rows of brads & journaling.

 
One of the best things I have learned about myself since beginning scrapbooking, is not to take myself so seriously. This craft has taught me how to have fun, to play, make a mess.

I love capturing the extraordinary and the ordinary on film. I am extremely happy when I am surrounded by photographs of the people I love.  Keep your eyes open for beautiful  photographic opportunities. You never know what you may find!

 
I AM 59 years “young”, happily married to my wonderful “SOUL MATE” BADEN for 38 years.

MY FAMILY…  precious son  MARK ( deceased),  treasured daughter TARA, son-in-law JAIR and two grand children DAKOTA age 11 & ELLA JAI age 5 ..  who are all featured throughout my books.  My PRECIOUS SON  “MARK” was tragically killed in 1999 from  a motorcycle accident at age 22. I dedicate each page to MARK and I honour his memory by living my life to the best of my ability.

my family … You are my world I love you all.

Happy scrapping Heather xo

 NAE SCHILLER 

I am a  vibrant and innovative young craftsperson who has made paper crafting my full time career, with my own wedding stationary business Simple Nae Designs.  

I love working with all sorts of mediums, textures, and tools and enjoys the challenge of trying something new.

My personal style is "freestyle" and I have a soft spot for shabby chic papers and fabric.

I have been teaching scrapbooking for 2 years,  however I  enjoy card making and Off the Oage projects.

I  have tried my hand at many different crafts over the years and now have a self confessed addiction to paper and ribbons!.

I enjoy everybit of the creation and inspiration process and am so blessed to have a job that I truly cant get enough of!!.

CHERYL EADES

I am really excited to be taking the KIDS after School Scrapping Classes.  I am married with 3 beautiful grown up children, Nick 22, Daniel 19 and Jenna 17.

I started Scrapping 4 years ago aiming to preserv our family memories, and I became addicted...........

I love music, and movies and musicals and kids! I am also learning to sew.

I am mum to Lilly and I love to create and make, I am a card maker but I dabble with anything crafty that comes my way.

I  beleve my style is modern, bright and cheery, I draw inspiration from everything around me, I love the reaction on people's faces when they receive a card from me.

I hope to bring some exciting classes to you all and look forward to passing on my style, creativity and enthusiasm.

TRISH GOODALL

I have always been interested in craft, over the yars I have tried numerous things such as sewing, counted cross stitch, long stitch, macrame, crocheting etc, but about 5 years ago I was introduced to card making and scrapbooking and have become hooked, everything else went on the back burner!

I have a try at most styles, but I am a bit fan of keeping it clean and simple.  I enjoy the satisfaction of putting projects together and making some great friends through  mutual interests in 'the craft'! 

You will see me at Abundantias Gold demonstrating the use of many products on cards, all of which can be applied to Scrapbooking etc.   Ever wanted to know how to use the cuttlebug, emboss, perfect pearls, paint dabbers etc?  then this is the class for you.

Sorry for the delay in this post folks, but its here now..........  Well after a much awaited nail biting wait, the Cropodile Big Bite finally turned up, and with it all the excitement of being a child all over again at christmas.  yes thats right you got it , I am a big kid.

The posing question I keep being asked and keep reading on forums, is..... is it worth it, should I just stick with my original Cropadile, or should I get this one instead.  & well here is the answer, of course this is just my opinion, and it is an honest one, and I receive no commisions from We R Memory Keepers, would be nice if I did though hint hint!  tee hee

It is most definatly HOT!    The Cropadile 11 Big Bite is worth every cent, I am so very happy about it, and probably even more so than I maybe ever imagined, it reaches all those places the Cropadile didn't, it rests nicely on the table while you make your holes, set the eyelets etc, where the original one didnt it involved a lot of fumbling with resting it on your belly whilst trying to make your holes in your project, if you are like me and have a small reach on your hand I also struggled to get my hand across the breadth and pinch it together, and it didn't alf irritate my Tendonitus! But not anymore .... The Big bite has opened up my world! 

With that said, I am also still happy to have experienced and still have the original one as there are a few little nooks and crannies that the  Big Bite cannot reach, as it has a wide 'nose', when that occures I just reach for my old faithful. 

Dont forget it is free postage on these babies as they are over $50! (click on the picture to view)

& you can also get a handy little carry case for your new friend which includes eyelets.

Did you know that you can 'Scrapchat’ in -  Store?

There here..............at least they were...........in one minute gone the next, 30 of these babies were ordered, quite a few were preordered online, and the 'extras' that were ordered just incase just went like that click of the fingers and they were gone.......... As soon as the new store opened the 'preorder' sign went up, knowing they were on there way, and they were gone just like that! WOW I even had to sell the one I reserved for me   the things I do for my customers.........  Those of you that did preorder rest assured yours will be on its way shortly, and those of you who didnt, thats fine I am placing another order and as I am so nice I will still let you  place it at the old rate of $64.95  and not the RRP rate of $79.95.  Fingers crossed these babies wont take as long as the last ones! why is it that if they know they are going to be popular they never quite order enough of them? take too long and the novelty wears off!.............  oops did I say that!

Introducing the The new Making Memories slice

due to hit shores in Australia around late September 2008 (this year of course) and shortly you will be able to place a pre order from the site. & of course this will be at a special pre order price.

Making Memories' new patent-pending Slice is a portable digital cutting machine that measures less than
five inches square and weighs less than two pounds. It's simple interface and easy to read graphics window
