Please welcome all the amazing ladies on our Creative Design Team.
Let’s welcome Lynn from
Lynn lives on the Redlands Coast in Queensland. She is a wife,
mum of two daughters and a Nanny to her gorgeous
Grandson. She is a fur baby mum as well.
Lynn has been an art and craft ‘dabbler’ for as long as she can
remember and first started her journey in furniture restoration.
Her first interest in papercrafts started with cardmaking and
scrapbooking and then progressed onto Mini Albums and
Memory Keeping.
Lynn tried her hand at creating Junk Journals about 5 years
ago and fell in love with the process. She has been creating
Junk Journals and Junk Journal related elements ever since.
She tends to lean toward a Vintage Grunge style but loves
some Shabby Chic influence as well.
A perfect day for Lynn is sitting in her craft space, playing with
pretty papers and glue.
Next, let’s welcome Julie from
Julie is retired and lives in Adelaide with her very supportive
husband of 50 years.
Julie has been paper crafting for over twenty years and has
covered just about every papercraft you can think of.
Julie’s current love is Junk Journal making although she does
not use a journal herself. The fascination for her, is in the
making.
She says she watches way too much YouTube, but the
inspiration and enjoyment she gets from the
videos that fellow crafters post, keeps her full of
enthusiasm for this craft.
Julie doesn’t really have a particular style but says she leans
more towards the Vintage/Shabby style.
All the way from New York in the USA, please welcome Kimmy
from Kimmy Kim
Kimmy has been making crafty Goodies for about 30 plus years.
It started when she was very young and then later in her early
twenties, she made jewelry. She only worked with
gemstones and real sterling silver, as that's a firm favourite of
hers.
Kimmy then ventured into colouring and mixed media for a
little bit, and later junk journals as a therapeutic outlet and it
has really been incredible, she says. She has a real love for all
things botanical and nature.
Having a YouTube channel and reaching out through platforms
like Instagram and Facebook, has introduced her to a
wonderful community of artists.
Basically, in a nutshell, when she started junk journaling and
branching out meeting like-minded people with such great
talent, Kimmy said her life changed. When she is creating, she
feels at peace. Kimmy said that she has met some incredible
people and made some most amazing friends along her
journey.
Kimmy doesn’t have just one style and likes to leave herself
open to trying different things. Having said that, she does
lean towards a vintage/shabby chic style and loves making
Botanical Junk Jounals.
Next up, we would like to welcome Kate
from Pixie K Designs
Kate lives in Hawke”s Bay, New Zealand.
Kate has dabbled in arts and crafts all her life and was
introduced to scrapbooking by a friend many years ago. It was
then that she discovered a love of paper crafts.
In late 2018 after a long break from creating, she set up a little
studio in her small town in New Zealand and began making
cards and dabbling in mixed media scrapbooking, learning
from artists on line. Kate soon stumbled across altered books
and junk journaling and has not looked back since.
Kate simply loves everything about making journals and junk
journaling. She loves that it incorporates so many different
mediums and crafts. From machine and hand sewing, book
making, memory keeping, journaling, mixed media, painting to
slow stitching and embroidery as well as the repurposing and
recycling of vintage and antique things others have discarded
or do not value.
Kate’s style is eclectic, which is her way of saying that she’s not
entirely sure what her style is yet, although she does love all
things old and vintage.
Kate said she is very much still learning and it is a fabulous
journey, one that she is extremely happy to be on.
Last but not least, welcome to Christine from
Christine started AussieRoseDesigns in 2020, showing her
handmade and designed creations in her craft room at home,
in the beautiful South West of Western Australia.
Christine also makes videos of tutorials, flip through’s of junk
journals, journals, folders, folios, mini albums, collages, cards,
ephemera, techniques, altered books, children’s journals
and so much more.
She loves to create digital papers as well that can be used in
any type of craft project.
When she is not designing digital prints or creating for
AussieRoseDesigns, you can find her making sure that her
rescued dog Basil, who is about 12 years old, is being cared
for. As she makes videos you will hear Basil walking around,
usually from his bed to the back door.
Christine said her style is Vintage, French, Pretty, Country. So
it’s safe to say that she likes trying many styles.
