Introducing Our Latest DTs

Introducing two of our latest DTs, finalists from Project Scrapaway 2008. They will be our designers for our soon to be launched - Kit Club!!!

Please welcome:

Rachel Clarke

"Hi, I'm Rachel, stay at home Mum to two very energetic kids, Aaron (3 years)
and Maddison (1 year) and wife to Lyndon of 13 years. We moved to KL from New
Zealand in November 2007. I started card making with rubber stamps in the late
90's and scrapbooking has evolved from that. I used to put my photos into my own
bound black page albums for a number of years, but "proper" (if there is such a
thing) scrapbooking was something I started around 2002/2003. In the last 4
years I haven't been able to scrapbook as much as I would have liked, so this
year I have enjoyed scrapping again and making small inroads into the
mountainous pile of photographs I have waiting to be scrapped. The kids, family
events and everyday life is what I tend to scrap and I would say my scrapping
style is whatever I feel like at the time :-) I feel very honoured and excited
to join the DT at Scrap-n-Crop and am looking forward to the challenges ahead
:-)

AND

SHARMAINE KRUIJIVER

"I’m Sharmaine, Mum to four gorgeous girls and married to my best bud Dave. I
live in beautiful Tasmania, Australia and think it is the most wonderful place
to live. I started scrapbooking in 2005 and my style and stash have been
evolving ever since!!! I love to use words and pictures to share my story and am
happy when I can tell it the way I see it. I love to share words of wisdom for
our girls and using scrapping is a great way to pass on wise knowledge, they
can’t answer me back that way lol. I am honoured to be part of Scrap-n-Crop’s
design team and hope to inspire and be inspired. "

We look forward to launching the kit club soon with our new KIT CLUB DTs....and I have to apologise for delays in mailing out all prizes for all contests as we have been busy moving and I cant find some of the stuff!!!
