Today we meet Design Team Member..... Elizna Parsons:

In her own words - More about me:

I have been scrapping for 6yrs. It has been a wonderful journey. I love everything about scrapbooking....the process & planning, the tools, the papers, ribbons, embellishments....! There is little that can make me more happy than sitting in my scraproom being creative.....

I have been married for 15yrs to Jaco...best friend and partner...more than what I could have hoped for.....! We have 2 children - Liani {7} and Reinecke {4}. They keep me very busy!


My scrapbooking style: I have a simplistic style. I love straight lines.....

Products I love: photo anchors, decorative brads, bling and stitching...you will see these in most of my layouts. And I love fonts...I am a serious font "junkie"!

I am a work-from-home-scrapper and all my work involves scrapbooking....what a life......! Can't get it any better......


A few layouts by Elizna using Fancy Pants paper, a Prima bling swirl & a variety of other embellishments and fonts:

Today we get to know Design Team Members....Esti Erasmus:


In her own words - more about me:
I have been scrapping for nine years. I am a wife, {work from home} mother, daughter, sister, friend, entrepreneur, business owner {unfortunately not scrapbooking}, scrapbook & cardmaking & beyond the page project freelance teacher....to put it in a nutshell!

I have a wonderful and supportive husband {yes, he even supports my scrapbooking!}, very photogenic daughter and a lovely support group of friends and family.

My style varies to what is available on my "to try"-list! I love using various techniques and trying new products.

The best part must be scrapping with friends and sharing memories while creating a keepsake for my daughter to cherish for years to come.....

Sophia Allison:

A little about me...

I am married to my loving and supportive husband, Murray, for almost 8 years. We have 2 beautiful girls Any (5 years) and Chloe (19 months), they are my inspiraion to scrapbook. I am born and bred in Durban, South Africa, a little city along the coastline. I had always been a keen card-maker, until my sister-in-law introduced me to the world of Scrapbooking in October 2002. I went for my first class at a local craft shop in November and you could say I had been bitten by the Scrapping Bug and am now hooked!


I made my debut on Making Memories' Blog. This was the highlight of my year.


My style...well, I don't know that I have one, as my layouts range from simple to shabby... to heritage and I am not afraid of colour or stretching my comfort zone. I try to keep as much focus on the photos. Sometimes my style changes with the wind but I guess that is creativity for you. My most comfortable size is 12 x 12, although I also enjoy putting mini albums together.
