craftymatters

I am really pleased to introduce to you my CMC’s (crafty matters contributors)

Ive asked the girls to contribute to a monthly update where we will show off new products, revisit old ones, and give you some tips on how to make the most of the ceramics I make.

It goes without saying (but i will say it anyway) that these girls are all incredibly talented, and bring their own individual and unique styles to the team.

so, without further ado- here they are

CHARMANE KOCH

HI! I’m Charmane, Mum to two adorable kids - Chei aged 3 and Harmony aged 1! I have a gorgeous partner, who lucky for me - is a Photographer!!!

I love it for a creative outlet for me, being a Stay at Home Mum, also the friends I’ve met and also the SHOPPING!!!

I absolutely ADORE Crafty Matters Ceramics and can’t wait to have a play and show them off on my layouts/projects!!!

She is a kinder teacher, and also Teaches at Simply Scrapbooking in Eltham ( i have heard her classes are a hoot!)

MARDI WINEN

My name is Mardi Winen and I live in the Riverland region of SA.
I am married to Ian with three teenagers…Brent 18, Mitchell 16 and Briony 13.
I work fulltime, study, keep the house clean and taxi service the kids to sport ect…and every other minute of the day is filled with something scrapbook related…lol

I was introduced to scrapbooking a couple of years ago when Briony was given a kit for christmas. I visited a scrapbook store to replenish her kit and was immediatly hooked. I now scrap almost every day, loving to use bright colours, negative space and journalling. Ooohhh…. and I have made the most wonderful friends in the online community.

I am honoured to be a CMC…. Janes ceramic embellishments are so easy to use…… and I love reaching for my stash of Craft matters embellishments to find the perfect little word or shape to complete my layout.

(Mardi created that great layout in the last post)

VITA THAI

Hi, there… My name is Vita Thai. I am 35 years old, living in Dandenong North, VIC and married with 2 kids, Amanda (9) & Riley (3). I am a SAHM (Scrapbooking At Home Mum). The mum bit has been for 9 years, but the scrapbooking bit has only been for 3 years. I started as a paper scrapper, but since late 2006 has ventured into digital scrapbooking. I am mostly known through my digital work, although I actually still enjoy both paper & digi format. I am very thrill to be part of Craftymatters, as I have always been a fan of Jane’s ceramic embellishments. I am looking forward to grow together with Craftymatters.

CHEERS
