Location: Cambridgeshire, United Kingdom
Nationality: New Zealander, with a mix of New Zealand Maori, and Celtic Heritages.
Objective:
The opportunity to write on the scrapbooking industry I love and provide review and opinion articles on digital products in particular. Articles can be for scrapbooking magazines, or manufacturers; or for online based businesses.
Styles & Techniques:
My style is both eclectic and graphic, but I do also love collage. My background is in Test Management in Information Technology. Although I started out quite a few years ago in traditional paper based scrapbooking, the last year has seen my full-hearted entry into digital scrapbooking, with less submissions to magazines and competitions. My strongest donation to the scrapbooking community over the last two years can be found in the Scrapability blog, and accompanying review articles for products. I have lately provided articles under deadline for the UKScrapper’s community Scrapmusings pages. In fact, I enjoy writing as much if not more than scrapbooking, and love to apply my strong skills in research towards any articles and projects I write up.
