Introducing New Design Team Member - Karen Leonard

We are very proud to introduce our new design team member KAREN LEONARD, well known for her A4 layouts. Many of you may know her from The Scrapbook Magazine.

Karen says:

"Hi I'm Karen and I live in Suffolk, with my husband, two teenage daughters and Bazzil our dog, who all provide a constant supply of inspiration and photo opportunities.
 

I’ve always been busy with some sort of crafty activities or another but when I discovered scrapbooking in 2006, thanks to a good friend of mine, I took to it straight away. I joined the monthly Papermaze crop in Otley Village and learnt a lot from Vanessa, who always produces amazing class kits.

I nearly always scrap in A4 size, or rather the American 8.5”x11” size to be exact, and really love to use sketches as a starting point. I generally have to adapt 12x12 sketches to suit, but that all adds to the fun.

I like to make my supplies work hard for me and to that end I rarely (if ever) buy ready made embellishments, but instead create my own. Of course, if they arrive with a kit, I will use them!

I am lucky enough to be part of The Scrapbook Magazine Design team, and am totally delighted to have been invited to join Scrapology.
