We have a team!!!
6 Wonderfully Creative Aussies
1 Fabulous International Designer
1 Amazing Regular Guest
PLUS
6 Awesome Special Guests
(these will be revealed over the next few months…)
But, firstly I would like to sincerely thank each and every one of you
that applied for the design team. I had a much bigger response than I
expected and with so much wonderful creative talent out there it was a very
hard decision.
I have tried to choose a team that not only compliments each other and
the Scrap Matrix products… but are also diverse in their styles.
And the day has finally arrived to announce who they are.
So, without further ado… I would like to welcome and introduce the
(awesome, fabulous, amazing and wonderfully creative) Inaugural
Scrap Matrix Design Team!
My name is Tammy and I live in the beautiful Clare Valley in South
Australia.
I have 3 amazing children (a 13 year old stepson, a 14 year old
son, and a 16 year old daughter) who bring me so much joy.
I love to scrap the stories of our lives. It's where I find my
peace and joy and my sanity.
I've been scrapping for about 12 years and scrap both Project
Life and 12x12 Layouts, and lately I've been having a go at painting too.
I would describe my style as colourful, painty, and layered.
I love mixed media, paint and journaling. For me scrapping is about
both the arty play and the stories. It's my therapy.
I'm thrilled to be here and can't wait to share more.

Hi,
I’m Lynn and I live in the on the North West coast in the beautiful state of
Tasmania with my very supportive hubby. My two boys (22
& 21) both now live on the mainland but continue to be a source of my
creative world.
I have been scrapping since about 2005 where I was
introduced to Creative Memories. I do mainly 12x12 layouts as well as art
journaling, mini albums, canvases, tags and ATC’s. I don’t think I have a
“style” but love paint, texture, bling, chipboard. As I work full time I find
scrapping is therapeutic and relaxing – I should probably say “addictive”!!!!!
I am
super excited to be a part of the inaugural Scrap Matrix team and hope along
the way I can inspire you in what we create.

Hi I am Elisa, I live on the mid north
coast of NSW with my Hubby and two boys and i have been art and crafting for
many years. I majored in Art in college and I have a great range in my style
from Mixed Media Art to Scrapbooking to Watercolour painting, Home decor items,
Canvases, Natural Wall Hangings, out of the box items, mixed media pieces to
Art Journalling and a combination of the lot at times. If I had to describe my
style I would say eclectic, different and colourful and a little cheeky
sometimes. I love to use loads of different mediums on my projects and my hubby
thinks I have an unhealthy addiction to stamps, stencils, inks and paints. I
also have a penchant for using up-cycled or re-purposing items for my projects,
from natural items to hand dying fabric, wire, feathers, toilet paper and other
unusual items. I am so excited to design for Scrap Matrix and I can't wait to
get started!

"Hi I'm Monique and I am from Mackay on
the Tropical Queensland Coast.
My partner and I downsized last year to move into an apartment at the Mackay
Marina. It is the best thing we have ever done - we wake up to glorious
sun rises over the ocean and I can fulfil my love of walking along the beach
any time I want. An added bonus is apartment living allows me more time
to indulge in my passions of scrapbooking and mixed media art!
Besides my wonderful, patient and supportive partner I am blessed to have a 12
year old son who brings me much joy, but with whom at times I feel the usual
frustrations that a pre teen boy can bring! Our 3 year old Ragamuffin cat
Harry completes our little family.
During the week I work as a Year 3 teacher at a small school just outside of
Mackay. Teaching is another passion of mine, and this year I have been
teaching in one way or another for over 25 years.
I took up scrapbooking just after my son was born and it very quickly became an
obsession. I started dabbling with mixed media in my scrapbooking about 4
years ago when I was looking for a way to change my style a bit. Now
mixed media has pretty much taken over my life. I create in a variety of
ways - art journaling, canvases, tags .....but scrapbooking still remains my
first and foremost love.
I am thrilled to be a part of the Scrap Matrix Design Team and I am looking forward
to sharing many projects with you using the gorgeous products available in the
store."
I’m Lydia Gibson, a 16-year-old
creative teenager who has a huge passion in documenting her every day. I live
with my mum, dad and younger sister in a small country town in south-east Queensland,
Australia. I was first introduced to the scrapbooking industry at a young age
from my scrapbooking mum, starting with stamping and that’s how I got to what I
love to do today. I currently love to document my everyday through my love of
photography with Project Life, Traditional 12x12 layouts, Mixed Media and lots
more.

Hi I’m Rebecca and creating is my passion, I
love to make things, all kinds of things. Positive feedback from the
crafting community only inspires and pushes me further to extend my
imagination. I am always willing to think right outside the box. I like to
create items that are a little different, slightly quirky. My style I would
like to attempt to explain as grunge meets steampunk and very detailed. I
really enjoy mixed media, making cards, layouts, OTP, small canvas crafts and
upcycling old items and turning them back into something beautiful. I guess you
can say I game to take on most aspects of crafting, however I do tend to stay
right away from anything too pink and pretty, it is just not me (not to say I
could not do it mind you, it just may take a little more concentration from my
brain). I am a stay at home Mum, I volunteer in my local op shop and spend the
rest of my spare time creating and looking after my family.

Hello there, my name is Anguree, and I am super excited to here.
I am married to a wonderful guy and as you may know, I also live in beautiful Darwin.
Fun fact: I love to travel but sometimes my all responsible self gets left at home and the crazy 6 year old within me comes along... On one holiday I have bungee jumped with both a pushbike and a scooter. Why, you ask me? Uhmm I wanted the photo... 😉😜
I was introduced into Scrapbooking somewhere in 2005 and have been addicted ever since. I generally scrap 12x12 pages, but also making cards, tags art journaling and off the page projects. My style vary from grungy to shabby but I dare say no style is off limits. Experimenting with new techniques and products keeps me engaged and inspired. It makes it fun and allows me to jump between different styles depending on the products I choose to use.
I am incredibly honoured and blessed to be chosen as Cardmaker of the year for Simply Cards Magazine and am serving on a number of different design teams. I really treasure the friendships I have been able to build with those who I meet and work with and am blessed to call many of them my friends.
I scrap and craft because it makes me happy. I love to share this love and share the joy it gives me with others in the hope that it will encourage them to play along and find the same kind of happiness. To me it's all about sharing the little things that makes life a happier place.

and
finally there is me -
predominately behind the
scenes, in the studio and in the shop but when (if!) I get time I will
definitely be getting creative and sharing with you all.
I started scrapping about 14
years ago, when I was dragged kicking and screaming towards this beautiful
'hobby', convinced it wasn't for me.... how wrong I was. All these years
later, here I am, owning my own gorgeous business, and being surrounded by what
I love the most - every day.
I am a double page scrapper,
using an array of photos and journaling to help document events, family history
and moments - and not just the special ones. It's all about 'real
life' for me. Over the last few years I have had a lot to learn about all
the products that Scrap Matrix sells, so art journaling started as a way of
experimenting and investigating for me... it has now turned into 'another'
addiction, and I can't stop playing with paint, texture and new techniques.
I am so excited by this new
stage for Scrap Matrix, and am impatient to start sharing some of the creative
projects this lovely team comes up with. Bring it on!
