I am really excited to be part of a new scrapbooking and paper crafts magazine, "Scrap365", launching soon in the UK. The first issue will be in sale on 18th November. (You can check out the Scrap365 blog here).
If you have found your way here on the Scrap365 blog hop - welcome!
I'm a UK born digital scrapbooker who has been living on the side of an (extinct!) volcano in New Zealand with my husband and two daughters for several years. I've been scrapbooking for nearly a decade, but turned digital when we moved here and I was stuck in a serviced apartment with no scrapping supplies and a napping toddler. I never turned back and now I'm a designer of digital scrapbook supplies and greeting cards (as well as a line of papers for BoBunny Press).
The look of clean, graphic layouts really appeals to me, but nearly always create worn looking pages with lots of blending and layering. (So it's lucky I do it all digitally, since as a paper scrapper I was somewhat glue-and-scissors challenged).
My big projects this year have been scrapping my older daughter's baby photos:
Plus an amazing trip we went on to the US in January:
And my younger daughter always provides lots of photo ops:
I love seeing what other people are creating, especially UK scrappers and paper crafters, so I am incredibly excited to be part of the Scrap365 team.
If you read on through my blog you can find out more about digi scrapping and about life on the side of the volcano.
And when you want to carry on blog hopping, just click here to continue the magical mystery tour of the other Scrap365 design team members.
(PS Please leave a comment here and if you leave a comment on all the blogs AND on the Scrap365 blog you will be in the draw to win a year's subscription to Craft Stamper plus lots of stamps).
Congratulations on the magazine. I look foward to seeing your work. Boo x :)

Hi there! Sian here dropping by to say hello and admire your pages. I've made the grand total of two digital pages ever - but now I know where I can find some extra inspiration!

Hi Lynn, your layouts are great! - I really like the 'Stamps Galore' one. I am a total novice to digi scrapping, so your blog is really inspiring. Karen : )
