So excited to be on the Scrapping Outback Design Team

Meet Our New Design Team Girls....

Hello everyone,

We have some exciting News for you, we have finally, after much deliberation decided on our new

Design Team Girls

for 2014/2015.

We can tell you, it was NOT easy and the work of all the submissions was amazing, but we could only pick 3 NEW girls

for our Design Team.

We would like to thank everyone that did submit and we look forward to continuing to see your

amazing work online.

So, please join us in welcoming........Karen McLaughlin...

I have been married to my best friend for just over 23 years. We have a 21 year old daughter and a 16 year old son and of course they are my main subjects to scrap. We emigrated from England 17 years ago and now live on the Central Coast, NSW. I have been scrapbooking for around 9 years. I started when a friend invited me over to ‘have a go’ after I had been admiring her pages. I have been addicted every since. I get my inspiration from photos, magazines, blogs and just being around other scrapbookers is always inspiring. I would describe my scrapping style as layered (bit shabby but tend to try anything new). I see my scrapping as being a lifetime diary.

Here is some of Karen's absolutely stunning layouts....

Together

This is a page I have created for Scrapping Outback. It is to create a layout inspired by the photo. It can be the colours or the theme. I have gone for the colours and the happiness of the photo to the happiness on my photo. This is my daughter and her Uni friends at a party.

Here is my layout.

Thanks for looking.

I thought I would do a boy page as I hadn't done one for a while. I have used all Scrappers Garden flowers on it. Hope you like it.

Here are a couple of close-ups of these lovely flowers. These are Duos (Skys are Grey) and Perfection Duos (Black is Back) and a Red Carnation Flower.
