I have been scrapbooking for a few years now. My main scrapbooking focus are my children. I love to record special events and journal them so that in years to come they will be able to have snippets into their lives back when they were younger. I don't remember much about when I was little, I know I would have loved to have had a scrapbook to read over about me as a child. So I hope to do this for my children. I also love to create gorgeous and unique cards. I love the whole process of using papers, inks, paints, embellishments and just creating. It is very therapeutic and relaxing not too mention that creative energy is addictive. You can read more about me on the About Us Page on site.

Hi, I am Meri Angelucci and I just love scrapbooking. Its just over 3 years since i began this beautiful journey and have not looked back since. Through the years of school, my creative streak was there but it was not until last year of high school that I truly began to feel confident with myself as a creative person. I painted alot during that period and stopped for many years as college, work and travel overtook my life. So now, here I am at 37 with 2 gorgeous children, Micahella 6 and Camillo 3 and my creative outlet, scrapbooking. I started when Michaella was 3 and was given a beginners class for my birthday. The class was ok but the burning desire inside of me was bursting to be creative again. My favourites are patterned paper, ribbons, rub-ons and buttons. It's all a fantastic, fun and rewarding journey as there are endless ideas and pages to create. Each layout is unique and what I love about it, is there is no right or wrong, just individual style and personality on each page. Scrapbooking gives me pleasure not only for myself but to know that my children will someday appreciate this too.

I first started scrapbooking approximately 8 months ago. I went to a friend of a friend's house for the day and she scrapbooked. I looked through all her albums and supplies and was amazed. I thought scrapbooking was only paper! I realized you could use brads and flowers and buttons etc. So I got into it. Before scrapbooking I beaded. The beaded things I made, I sold at school to my friends making no profit at all! I joined some scrapbooking forums and decided to swap my beaded jewelry for scrapbooking supplies. So that's how this hobby started. 140 or so LO's later, I still love it!!
My favourite products are prima flowers and rub ons and pattern papers and.... Everything! It changes all the time.
I am not the type of scrapbooker that wants to preserve memories. I like scrapbooking because of the colours, the techniques and all the different variations you can create.
When I was asked about a style/theme, I sat down and realized that I don't have a style or theme. I create whatever I feel like doing at that particular time.
I have been inspired and encouraged by other scrappers online and have learnt a great deal from them.

Hiya guys!! Here's a little bit about my happy scrapping self. I've been scrapping for nearly six years now - doesn't seem like that long really and yet I can't remember what I was into before I discovered scrapping. Kinda stumbled into it one day when I went in to process some film of a recent trip we'd taken and saw some really cute beach papers they had on a stand in the store, picked some up not really knowing what to do with them .... and the rest as they say, is history. It's been amazing to watch my work grow over time. As I grow more confident in myself I find that I like to try new and different things often. The last two years scrapping wise have just been awesome for me. I've had many layouts accepted for publication, appeared in all the aussie scrapping mags and was stoked last year to be named one of Scrapboooking Memories Masters - was on a high for weeks. If there was one tip that I'd like most to share it would be - never doubt your own scrapping capabilities, get out there and have a go ... you'll be amazed at where it can take you!
