Lene was chosen for her bold style and use of colour and detailed embellishing. We are very pleased to have her on board.
My name is Lene Neby and I’m 37 years old. I live in Hamar, Norway with my husband Knut and our 5 children ( 3 boys and 2 girls).
When I don’t drive my children to activities and practise, I love to scrapbook – that’s my passion! I have always been a crafty person, but I really got addicted to scrapbooking in 2007 when I was home with our youngest daughter. You will probably see pictures of our 2 girls on my layouts. The boys in my familiy tend to flee when they see me with a camera. I love the creative process from taking the picture, to finding the right paper and embellishemt to match it ! For me this is therapeutic ! I often use a lof of embellishments and I’m totally addicted to details.

Welcome Lene!
Yukiko was asked to join our team because of her beautiful use of flowers and love of fussy cutting.
Linda has made this pretty little card using the TSC Springtime papers. Here, she shows you step x step, how to make it.
Hi Linda here. I have had lots of fun layering these beautiful papers to create interest on this feminine birthday card.
Materials:
2 pieces of Spring Awakening SA H03 patterned paper 12” x 7”
Cream cardstock
Manorhouse Creations Cottage Garden Bird Song Flower
Manorhouse Creations medium leaves x 3
Ranger Distress Ink – Antique Linen
Sponge Dauber
Cream Seam Binding
Memento London Fog Ink
Birthday Sentiment Stamp – mine is from Stamp-It Set sis046
Kaisercraft Pearls
Distressing Tool
Craft Knife
Small fine tipped scissors
Adhesives – double sided tape and foam dots.
Instructions:
Step 1 – Gather together the above mentioned supplies for your card.
Step 2 – Cut 4mm off the long edge of the patterned paper…along the top graph line.
Step 3 – Cut the patterned paper piece so you have the floral accent piece on it, 20cm x 10.5cm.
Step 4 – Cut card base from cream cardstock, score and fold. Ink the edges of card base with Antique Linen Distress Ink.
Step 5 – Cut 2 pieces of the blue plaid pattern 10.5cm x 4cm. Ink and distress 3 edges of these pieces and adhere to the sides of the card base.
Step 6 – Trim around the scalloped edge at both ends of the 20cm x 10.5cm piece and distress the scalloped edges.
Step 7 – Using your craft knife trim out the inverted scallop centre of the floral motif and mark the top of this piece with pencil. (To help when stamping sentiment later).
Step 8 – Fussy cut the top layer of the flower arrangement.
Step 9 – Add foam dots to back of scallop edge layer and adhere to card base.
Step 10 – Add foam dots to fussy cut piece and adhere to card base. Lift up the leaves for added dimension.
Step 11 – Stamp the sentiment on the inverted scallop circle piece. Ink the edges of the sentiment piece and adhere to the centre of the floral motif with foam dots.
Step 12 – Adhere 3 leaves, a messy seam binding bow and a Cottage Garden Bird Song Flower.
Step 13 – Add a row of pearls below your sentiment and a cluster of pearls to the top right of your card.
Step 14 – Pop your finished card in a DL size envelope and send off to a dear friend to make their day.
Joanne was chosen to be on the Design Team because of her bold designs, often using white backgrounds and gorgeous use of lots of flowers.
My name is Joanne but my friends call me Jo. I am a very proud mother of 2 (the best kids in the world I am slightly bias) and I am happily married to my best friend and have been for the last 17 years. He is the best husband a girl could ask for and is very supportive of my scrapbooking. We live in sunny Queensland on the northern side of Brisbane along with our 2 dogs and more pet birds then I can count. I have been a scrapbooker for at least 11 years and I would say I am slightly addicted to this craft…lol. I have also tried my hand at digital designing and scrapbooking but I missed the touch and feel of paper so I am now back to paper scrapping again and I might say LOVING IT!!!

Beauitful work Gayle! Thankyou for sharing your creative talents with us.
You know that recently we had our DT call, and received a couple of hundred applications, but of course, being such a new company, our flowers were not widely available yet. However, a few of you managed to procure some of our packs and use them. We just had to share some of creations with you because, we loved them.
SARAH MARTIN
Isn’t this so adorable – A necklace, using Ballroom – Waltz flowers. What a clever idea and it looks like it’s a hit with a little someone (he he he). Doesn’t she look so pretty.
And here’s Sarah’s daughter again, looking just as cute. Sarah has used The Tropics – Islander flowers in this stylish layout along with some papers from The ScrapCake ‘Summer at the Seaside’.
And this beauitful jewelry box. You must have been very quick off the mark Sarah, because we see the delicate Cottage Garden - Picket fence flowers have been used here. These flowers were realeased in very limited numbers to begin with, but never fear, more have arrived and being distributed this week to stores. Sarah has also used the Spring Awakening papers from The ScrapCake.
KELLY ANN OOSTERBEEK
Kelly Ann has used the Spring Awakening Papers from The ScrapCake as well as one of the flowers from the Enchanted range. Kelly Ann’s store, www.amothersart.com.au/ is one of our stockists.

Our rose leaves were super populare and we sold out of these early on but…more have arrived! And now in another new smaller size (just 1cm wide). Perfect to go with the new Springtime flowers.
And although we have loved that you love our flowers, don’t forget about these……
12 x12 papers and something new…..7 x 12 papers. No waste, no off-cuts and a perfect addition to your page or project. Card-makers are sure to love this size too.
