What is your own background in scrapbooking?

Working in a fabric store since I was 14 years old, I found early inspiration in the beautiful colours and textures of the fabrics. I brought home more than my fair share (and my garage walls are lined with totes of fabric to prove it)! My love of patterns and prints got me into quilting, which then turned into an interest in card making with fabric. It was not until I joined the Fiskateers in 2007 that I caught the scrap bug and I became completely enwrapped! Prior to that I had been a scrapbook “collector” building up a nice assortment of supplies that rarely got used…because I was not sure exactly how to use them, finally, one day I just dove in, and since then I have not looked back…paper has become my life!

 

What inspired you to join Oh Scrap?

I was inspired to join Debbie shortly after she started Oh Scrap because I wanted to give something back to the crafting community. I wanted to share my passion with others who had the same interest. I know how much I love the inspiration I receive from mainstream magazines, but I also know that they can get costly. Additionally, the internet is a great resource, but it can be difficult to navigate at times…so I loved the idea of an online magazine with a variety of crafting information in one place. A great starting point for beginners – yet a re-inspiration for the veteran paper crafter!

 

Please describe the unique features and advantages of the newsletter. How is it different to others and what does it offer to customers that other stores do not?

I would like to see the newsletter have something for everyone...inspiring articles, helpful tips, new techniques, short cuts, revived techniques, sketches, ideas, etc.

 

What strengths do you bring to the business?

I have degrees in New Media Art, as well as Design & Dressmaking. I have worked in the arts field in one way or another for about 15 years as the owner of a children’s clothing company, designer for men’s retro fashions, web & graphic designer, magazine editor & publisher, and teacher of textiles to children.

 

 

Do you hold any special scrapping events or competitions?

I would love to see us have a “National Scrapbook Day” event or maybe a “Founders Day” event (celebrating the “anniversary” of Oh Scrap) yearly!

 

How do you keep up-to-date with new products and the latest trends?

Staying on all the mailing lists, visiting blogs/sites, etc.

 

What do you find rewarding about running the newsletter?

I love being able to help people create memories that will be cherished forever. There is something about working with your hands, creating something from your mind and imagination…it is so gratifying. I love seeing the smile that is produced from a hand created card.

 

Do you specialise in traditional or digital scrapping – or both? Is there anything unique you supply which is not readily available from other mags or newsletters?

Both. We try to cover both sides of the spectrum to be all inclusive and offer something for everyone.

 

Describe the unique features of your mag/newsletter. Do you offer special product discounts, free postage, competitions or any other element that could interest online shoppers?

It is a free online magazine...available to anyone and everyone...what more could a crafter ask for?! We are here to help you and share your passion for paper! Maybe in the future we can/will offer more interactive features at time goes on, such as sketch competitions and challenges.

 

Do you offer any special features in your mag/newsletter that may encourage customers to visit, such as a chat forum, online gallery or product reviews?

Online Gallery, Product Reviews, hopefully a chat room soon enough…maybe RAKs through the blog.

 

Do you have means to keep people informed about specials, new products, events etc?

Mailing list and blog.

 

Do you offer any online events like cyber crops, classes, workshops?

Hopefully in the future! J

 

Do you have any other interesting/appealing facts about the newsletter?

Created by people just like you! People with a passion for paper crafts!
