A bit about you – I am a stay at home mum, married for 6 years to my husband Cayle and we have 4 children together. We live in Clarence Town in the Hunter Region of NSW and we love it here. Our children are Brielle 7, Declan 6 and Isabella 4. Sadly our first son Hamish passed away when he was a baby from whooping cough, and he would be 9 this year. We also have 2 mini foxie dogs, which are our only pets. In my former life before children I was a courier (parcel delivery) in Newcastle for Ansett air freight. I love being with my family and friends, and am basically a real home body.
How long have you been scrapping for? And how did you start? I started scrapping in 2002 when my daughter was born, through Crafty Kids (now known as Kaszazz), and from there have evolved to where I am now! My good scrappy friends and I get together at least once a month for crop days, and I attend 2-3 retreats a year.
Where can we find you? Do you chat on Scrapbooking forums? Which ones? What is your forum name/s? I have 2 regular forums which I visit every day – ScrapBoutique and Bons Scraps. My user name is Kate or KateM (very original LOL) There is also a password protected forum at Scrapbooking from Scratch where we do blind challenges approx 3 times a month, which is a lot of fun! See their website for more details on the blind challenges if you are interested.
Do you have a blog? What is it? my blog addy is http://kate-thehappyscrapper.blogspot.com
What are your favourite scrapbooking products at the moment? I love patterned papers, especially crate paper, collage press, October afternoon and WeR memory keepers.
What were the last products you bought? and where? I bought some sassafras Lass jungle bungle papers and embellishments early this week from scrapbooking from scratch
What layout/project are you working on RIGHT now? I am between LO’s at the moment, but I am planning on doing the May 123 LO tonight!
Do you have scrapping goals? What are they? my goals are to keep enjoying my scrapping, I am loving where I am at now.
Is there anything else you want us to know about you? you can find samples of my layouts and my sketches in the new kits at Scrapbooking From Scratch (www.scrapbookingfromscratch.com.au)
This is Kate's most recent 123 Challenge layout.... for JULY!!!
