Ronelle  Meredith (nee Palmer)

-owner-

Hi my name is Ronelle Meredith (nee Palmer), I am the new owner of the Scrappery.  I also owner Cute & Sweet Designs, which I started to feed my planning and crafting needs. I started a monthly subscription boxes for planners and traveller's notebooks.  I am a mum of four beautiful children ranging from 5-15 years.  I have always been a scrapbooker for over 20 year, doing mainly 12x12 layouts.  I am eager to start project life; although I am still loving the 12x12 layouts.  I have been doing a lot of mixed media, 81/2x11 layouts and journaling.  My style is very minimalistic with plenty of white space, love the white space xx.  I am a newbie to the YouTube world so please bear with me or laugh at me lol.  I can't wait to get creative with all the subscribers xoxo.

Cathi O'Neill

Hi! My name is Cathi O'Neill and I am so very excited to be working with Ronelle and The Scrappery Kit Club!!  I am an American who married an Irishman and I have been living in Ireland since 1997. I live in a beautiful village on the Shannon River with my DH of 21 years (wow, that makes me feel old!) and my two beautiful daughters, Aine (onya) 14 and Aisling (ashling) 12, who are the subject of many of my projects!! 
I have always loved crafting since I was a little girl. My grandmother taught me to knit and crochet and I remember sewing Barbie doll clothes with her on her front porch! I am a knitter and quilter as well, but have recently in the last few years found cardmaking and scrapbooking, and an obsession was born!! I truly love creating and make vintage cards to sell here in our local village cafe as well as stacks of mixed media and shabby/vintage style layouts of my girls to keep and share with family! I also love to do tags, ATC and altered projects, barely a day goes by when I haven't done something crafty!!  My newest obsession this year is creative planning in my handmade patchwork travelers notebooks, Project Life and my new love of learning to doodle and hand letter in my Hobonichi journal! 
I am currently for Blue Fern Studios and have guest designed and designed for many wonderful companies and challenge blogs, I have been very blessed.    
  

Claudia van Rooijen

Hello everyone! My name is Claudia van Rooijen and I'm really excited to join the Scrappery's Creative Team. I'm 22 years old and I'm from the Netherlands though I'm currently living in Denmark with my boyfriend who is Danish.
Besides scrapbooking I also really enjoy photography and graphic design (mostly websites), though I haven't done much with it recently I would love to get back into it. I first started scrapbooking when I was 12 because I saw my mom do it and thought it looked like a lot of fun. I then took a break and came back to it a few years later, all I would do is buy (busy) papers and just put my photos on there haha.
I started scrapbooking the way I do today at the end of 2013 and I still feel like my style has changed quite a bit since then as well. Nowadays my mom has stopped scrapbooking, but I kept going and to me it's much more than just a hobby. I pretty much only do 12x12 layouts and love adding splatters to my page (especially the gold Heidi Swapp Color Shine). I also love placing embellishments on my layout and play around with the right position untill it looks good to me. You will probably find out soon enough that I am a huge Crate Paper/Maggie Holmes fan girl.
One of my 'goals' is to get into mixed media, which both scares me and has me excited at the same time. I can't wait to get my first kit and start scrapping with all the lovely goodies that will be in it!  

Justine Murton

I love all things paper & art. If I can paint it, draw it, stick it or write it, then I am happy!
I've been 'scrapbooking' for over 10 yrs and I've only ever done a handfull of layouts lol. I was always more interested in 'off the page' projects than memory keeping. Until I discovered Traveler's Notebooks & creative journaling. I LOVE this process and its so rewarding to finish a full notebook of memories that can be kept forever. My procrastination tendencies lead me to starting a YouTube Channel to make myself more accountable & also 'give back' by sharing techniques and encouraging anyone to memory keep.
Now I'm hooked and I've met some incredibly lovely and inspiring people. I'm a little cheeky and don't like to follow the rules. I am lucky enough to have a creative job as well being a Face & Body Painter by day. I share my crazy life with my husband, daughter & some spoilt animals whom are better looked after than we are lol.

Krisy Podolak

My name is Krisy and I'm from Brisbane Queensland. I am a mum of 3 (Poppy 3, Leo 2 and Autumn 1) and a wife to a M.A.M.I.L. (Middle Aged Man in Lycra) It is definately a middle aged thing I wouldn't have married him if he looked like that in the beginning (LOL). I am a mad keen scrapbooker and in the crazy early hours of the morning I indulge in a bit of Crossfit. In 2016 I was a Scrapbooking Memories master which was a pretty memorable achievement.

Lisa Skinner

 Hi everyone. My name is Lisa Skinner. I am super excited to be part of The Scrappery Creative team.
I live in Victoria with my husband, 2 teenagers & 2 fur babies.  I work part time in the Insurance industry. I am lucky enough to be able to work from home in my current role.
 I’m addicted to Papercraft & Scrapbooking. I like to buy stuff, hoard it & scrap with it. The most important thing I have learnt about the hoarding is that it’s better for that ‘special’ piece of ephemera to be in your album than in your stash - so get Scrapping!
I’m a self-confessed foodie, I love to eat out & find new restaurants.  We also love to cook at home. I love to spend time with my friends and family.  I enjoy going to the movies (Gold class – when the budget permits) I love to Scrap (obviously), watch YouTube, Netflix and read if there is any free time after all the other things I try to squeeze in.
I was unofficially scrapbooking – when I was a kid, long before it was a thing.  I used to make my own albums with exercise books and stickers etc.  I then officially started scrapping pages in about 1999 when Creative Memories became a craze (when my daughter was a baby) - which progressed to traditional scrapping when the market opened up to amazing product & opportunities. I started Project Life about 2 years ago & absolutely love that too.  I still do both traditional layouts & PL...I usually combine both in my yearly albums and I now have added Planner Spreads to my crafting.
I often get asked to define my style, I struggle with that - as I am not fond of pigeon holing it...I think I am mostly neat & layered – I love to embellish.  Most would describe my style as clean or pretty. I love to get messy too though & add texture, this can depend on my mood & or the product.
I hope you’ll join me for what should be a fun ride & I hope I’ll be able to offer you some weekly inspiration by using the truly fabulous kits that Ronelle designs.

Lydia Gibson

I’m Lydia Gibson, a 15 year old creative teenager who has a huge passion in documenting her every day. I live with my mum, dad and younger sister in a small country town in south-east Queensland, Australia. I was first introduced to the scrapbooking industry at a young age from my scrapbooking mum, starting with stamping and that’s how I got to what I love to do today. I currently love to document my everyday through my love of photography with Project Life, Traditional 12x12 layouts, Mixed Media and lots more.

Melissa Vining

Hi I'm Melissa and I'm from Queenstown, New Zealand. I've been married to Shaun for 13 years and we have 4 kids (Samuel 9, Azaria 7, Brielle 2 and Ava born November 2016). I started scrapbooking because I wanted to make Sam a baby book. In 2012 I discovered the online world of scrapbooking and I've been obsessed ever since!

I'm predominantly a traditional 12x12 scrapbooker, but I also love to create mini albums. December Daily is my favourite annual album to create. My style is clean and fresh with extra added detail. I love making process videos, and I adore Instagram! I'm so excited to be a part of The Scrappery Creative Team! When I'm not scrapping I love to spend time with my family, bake, exercise and enjoy the beautiful part of NZ I call home.

Hello TSKC fans! My name is Sarah and I am beyond excited to be joining The Scrappery Creative Team! I am a full-time bookkeeper, wife and mother to two girls. I live in Hastings, Minnesota, US. It's a small town about 30 minutes from Minneapolis.
I started scrapbooking in 2007 when I got married. I was a traditional 12x12 scrapbooker until 2014 when I started Project Life. I'll never forget the first videos I watched of Kayla's baby book and pregnancy album! They changed the way I did PL forever! I had no idea how fun and embellished PL could be!
I look forward to sharing my weekly Project Life videos with all of you and connecting through the The Scrappery Creatives facebook group!
