Taking part in the pandemic

You may have noticed that Word Pictures has been put on hold this month. This is due to the fact that illness has hit my family with a vengeance over the last few weeks, topping it all off with the good ol' swine flu - and it's not pretty!

Please be patient with us....we'll be back, fit and healthy, with a new challenge on 1st July.

Hope you and yours are all well. xSami

Lots of layouts to share...

I have a feeling we're going to have a big month....look at these lovelies!!!

Deb Hosking

Deb says:

" I live in country South Australia with my wonderful husband, Shayne who supports me and my hobby, or rather my passion...ok!!…my ADDICTION to scrapbooking. I was a teacher BC (before children) and now work as a TAFE lecturer. I have two sons Ryan 11 and Bowen 8 who feature prominently in my pages.

I love clean simple lines with the focus being on the photos and the story. I love that what I create will help my family remember both the special occasions and the everyday moments of their lives.

Scrapbooking has taught me so much and allowed me to make some fantastic friendships."

Kellie Harrison

Kellie says:

"I have been scrapping for about 5 years now, however I have been doing craft for as long as I remember. I have been married for almost 10 years to my best friend and we have 3 children whom I love to do scrapbook pages on.

We live in country NSW so access to scrapbooking supplies can be a little difficult- thus I tend to spend a lot of time on the internet searching for products and ideas.

Just recently, I became a Design Team member of ScrapAWhile, which I am enjoying so much."

Wishing you a very warm welcome ladies!

Kellie and Deb will be joining Sue Maree each month to inspire you. I will still be here, taking care of business and joining in on the fun!!
