SANNA...
Hi! My name is Sanna Lippert and I have been living close to Vienna, Austria for the past 14 years now with my half Greek, half Austrian husband and two boys aged 12 and 9. 
I´m originally from Finland. I have been a paper lover since I was a very little girl. I used to draw and do crafting for hours and hours. All my drawers were full of drawings and other "creations". After my son´s were born I wanted to create baby albums for them and then discovered the term scrapbooking for me and I have been addicted ever since. 
I had been creating my photo albums before that already, just didn´t know that it was called scrapbooking. I mainly do layouts in different sizes but also like to make cards and minibooks. 
When I´m not scrapbooking, I´m either working at my day job or weaving rugs, socks or something else. Other than that I love to take photos – no way I´m going to be able to scrap all of them in my lifetime :). My recent passion has been decorating our new house, gardening and cooking. I cannot image life without being creative. I usually like creating laoyuts with white space on them. Black pen, small embellishments, stamps and mists are also a constant companion. 
My pages are either totally colorful or in natural colors. No particular style I like most, I usually go with my gut feeling and since I have two boys, you will not find that many flowers on my layouts. I love this hobby and love trying out new products and techniques. There´s so much to discover and to learn with inspiration everywhere!

RAQUEL BOWMAN
Hi, my name is Raquel, I'm 28, a primary school teacher and I live in Geelong, Victoria. I have a gorgeous hubby and have recently had a little baby girl, named Charlotte, in October.

I LOVE to scrap and my favourite part about scrapping is not only the gorgeous products but also the fantastic online community that I have found since I started scrapping. My love of Scrapbooking has also inspired me to start my own Kit Club 'A Piece of Cake Designs'. 


Currently I design for the Scrapbook Magazine in the UK. I have been published in Scrapbook Magazine, Scrapbook Creations, Scrapbooking Memories, Creating Keepsakes (aussie edition), Somerset Memories and Entreartists Magazine (France). I really enjoy joining in on the challenges on Scrapbooking Challenge blog sites. 

My favourite things to scrap are the things that mean the most to me – those special people in my life who I adore! My boy, my friends, my family and more recently my little girl, feature the most on my pages. I don’t quite have a word to define my style, however, I love coordinating different brands and mixing and creating my own colour combinations - and layering and clustering seems to feature on pretty much all of my pages too.
 
LEONIE WALDRON...

I have been scrapping for about 6 years and am particularly drawn to awesome use of colour, lots of mess and texture, and recycling and using found elements. I have been into craft of all types since I was very young, however I only discovered scrapping just after I got married and decided to scrap my wedding photos for my first ever project. 
 
It makes me cringe to look at that album now! It’s VERY basic. What I love about scrapping though is that I am constantly learning new things and I can see myself getting better with each layout. It’s a very rewarding thing to do and paper is a such a wonderful, tactile, versatile thing to work with. 
 
I love mixing new store-bought products with found objects and getting messy with ink and paint!

Please welcome SUE SMITH to the 123 Team...

Please make welcome SUE SMITH to the 123 Challenge Blog Design Team...


My name is Sue Smith and I live on the beautiful South Coast of NSW and have 2 adult children and 2 fur-babies. All my life I have dabbled in art of some sort, and have been an obsessed fan of scrapbooking for about 7 years now after reluctantly attending a Creative Memories workshop.

Becoming involved with the online scrapbooking community has, and continues to be, a wonderful source of technique development, creative inspiration and many, many valued friendships.

I don't really have a scrapping style as such, but I love using lots of layers and mists and experimenting with new products and techniques. I also dabble in mixed media art and I am passionate about photography. 

I am a current Scrapbooking Memories Master and on the design team for Words Or Whatever. I am also on the creative teams for ChelleyBean Designs and the Kraft It Up blog. I have always enjoyed challenges and competitions and I am really thrilled to be a part of this wonderful new team and sharing my creations on this blog.

Our Next 123 Design Team Member is Wendy....

Please make welcome...

WENDY SMITH...


Hi! My name is Wendy Smith and I am really looking forward to being a part of the new 123 Challenge Design Team.
 
I live in Tasmania with my 2 boys, Charles and Angus, as well as my ever growing menagerie of Jazz, Max and Gyspy.
I have been scrapbooking for about 9 years now, and it all started with my need to create a memory for my children. I wanted to scrap a single page for each month in their first year of life…and that was all I had planned. Who would have thought it would have ballooned into such an obsession?? I have had some terrific opportunities in the scrapbooking world including teaching, and designing for sites and magazines.
 
I am currently on the Design Team for Anna’s Craft Cupboard and soon to be on Scrap the Boys, and now the new 123 Challenge blog.
 
I love the creative outlet Scrapbooking provides for me, and of course I love all the products, but most of all I love seeing the way scrapbooking makes me view the world just a little bit differently and makes me see my children in a different light.
