LINDY GILLESPIE...

Hi my name is Lindy Gillespie& I live in sunny Brisbane . I am married with 2 grown up children Craig and Kate and an obnoxious cat called Java -and like any animals are very much part of the family.

I have been scrapping for about 7 years + & first stumbled across a bricks and mortar store which caught my eye so i had to investigate to my surprise was immediately addicted ....

I'm not sure that I have a particular scrapping style....it is forever changing. Atm i'm a bit addicted to paint and misting and most of my work have at least a couple of flowers and a number of embellisments on them. There are many that inspire me love seaching through the home magazines and the colour catalogues.

JEANENNE GALE...

My name is Jeanenne Gale and I live in a country NSW. I am a full time working mum (busy teacher), happily married to a very patient husband (Troy) and have two beautiful children, Sophie (9) and Harry (3). I have been scrapping on and off for about 7 years and was introduced by to the craft by a friend who did a lot of cardmaking. After losing my mojo and having a big break I have recently rediscovered the joy that scrapbooking brings to me (spurred on by a wonderful friend), and love sharing my creations with others and preserving precious memories. For me, scrapbooking is me time! I love feeling different textures as well as splashing around with inks and paints. I love a good challenge that stretches me to use colours or products that I wouldn’t normally use!!!! I am so thrilled to be part of the Scrap The Boys Creative Team!!!!

RENEE ASLETTE...

My name is Renee Aslette and I live in Mackay in Far North Queensland. I have two boys Jackson (4) and Lucas (2). My husband is Adrian. Needless to say that I have an endless amount of boy photos!!! I have been scrapbooking for 4 years, but have really only started to find my style and the time to scrap since January this year!! So very excited to be on a design team I have admired for such a long time. Looking forward to seeing the work you ladies come up with!

KAREN HANSSON...

My Name is Karen Hansson, I am a Tassie girl born and bred. Married to a very understanding Hubby. We have two children that regularly feature on my pages I was lucky

that I have one of each, a boy and a girl not to mention nieces and nephews.

I have been scrapping for the past 7 years, but in the last 12 months I have got so much more done due to having my own space. I guess my style is a little grungy if I actually have a style, I love to try new techniques and make my own embellishments. I am very excited to be apart of the team at Scrap the Boys and looking forward to my time on the CT.
