Brand Ambassador 2018-2019

Joanne Bain – Australia

 

“I am Joanne Bain from Queensland, Australia.

 

I am a very proud mother of 2 and I am happily married to my best friend and have been for 24 years. He is the best husband a girl could ask for and is very supportive of my paper crafting. Most of my inspiration for this craft comes from my wonderful family and friends and also the beautiful array of products that are now available. When I am not scrapbooking, I am kept busy with all activities involving raising a happy family and I like dabbling around with photography which is perfect as I always have something to scrap. 

 

We live in sunny Queensland Australia along with our 2 dogs and more pet birds then I can count. I have been a scrapbooker for 16 years since my daughter was the age of 3 and then 13 years ago along came the other special boy in my life my gorgeous son, many of my creations tend to feature them.
 

My preferred scrapping preference is 12 x 12 layouts and creating off the page/altered projects. I am not locked into a specific scrapping style, as I am happy to give anything a go but I would describe my style as structured with lots of layers, fussy cut paper cutting, detail and dimension.

 

Curiosity Cabinet – #G45Selfie

When asked for my first post to create a ‘Self-Portrait’ project I chose to think out of the box and create something that is a total reflection of something that I love to do, that is to create something beautiful from nothing. When I -lay with Graphic 45 papers my mind goes into creative overload…lol.

 

 

This project shows that you can use things you have around the home to make something pretty, all you need is a passion to create and it all flows from there. My Curiosity Cabinet started life as the bottom of an old gift box, I added a few pieces of chipboard that I had in my stash and then attached the Graphic 45 Claw Feet so that it had a foundation to stand upon.

 

 

I incorporated 3 of my favourite collections, Rare Oddities, Olde Curiosity Shoppe and a little Steampunk Debutante. This project involved lots of fussy cutting, which is something I love to do, it has lots of little details and bucket loads of dimension.
 

 

I like my projects to have the more you look the more you will see feel to them.

I hope I have inspired you for my first post and I am so looking forward to the year ahead creating beautiful things and enjoying my time with this wonderful team.

 

Happy Papercrafting!”
