Rachael Merrick
Scrap Space: I have a study nook, no bigger than 2mx2m. Not ideal but it will do. It has a desk, my sewing machine, my guillotine and a filing cabinet which holds the majority of my scrapping gear. At least I can close the door to a big mess!
Scrap Style:I have no idea what my style is. I guess I like to try new things, I try to mix brands and use plenty of embellishements. I enjoy using patterns as background and hardly use plain cardstock any more. Overall though I guess my style would be described as clean with detail.
Fav Colour: This is a tough one. At the moment I am enjoying using lots of colour in general. I don’t scrap with purple or green often. Blues seem to dominate my scrap gear.
Can't Scrap Without: my double sided tape. I find it so easy, just tear off a piece and use it to stick stuff down, so much less messy than glue!
Inspiration: I am constantly surfing blogs for inspiration. I find a lot of my ideas sprout just from looking through magazines and other peoples work. I like to try new things and am always experimenting, try to mimick stuff I have seen elsewhere. I especially love the manufacturers blogs – prima and cosmo cricket always spark my interest.
Perfect Day: plodding around the house doing nothing. Not too hot, cool enough for jeans and tshirt. Having the kids in the background with my computer on and playing with paper!
Perfect Holiday: We’ve been to a lot of places but I think Melbourne will always call me back. I love the lifestyle, a little bohemian, lots of window shopping, gardens to stroll, coffee shops to explore with some art and history thrown in. I think that’s why I loved Paris and Rome so much. Its all about culture for me.
Fav Food: Pasta. I could eat pasta most days if only my waist would allow it.
Fav Drink: Pepsi Max/diet coke if its hot, or a good skinny hazelnut latte if its cold. Of course champagne and margaritas are for night time and holidays J
Can't Live Without: It sounds clique, but I really can’t live without my family. Particularly my husband. He is my rock, my sounding board and knows me better than anyone.

Inspiration: yummy new product and photos I really want to scrap

Lydell Quin
Scrap Space: I have gone from a dedicated Scrapping room, to scrapping in the ‘hub’ of our home- the dining/family room. (Some would gasp at this....I know) My room was downstairs, and with two little people, I could not retreat for any length of time without them, so after fitting out the spare room downstairs with scrapbooking cupboards floor to ceiling, I shifted everything into more cabinets in our living area, So now I can scrap where everyone is, keep an eye on the little people, and not be in solitude downstairs ( which I am not comforted by anyway!!!) It works for now!
Scrap Style: Wow....that is a tricky one, I am clean and simple with arty thrown in, I enjoy shabby chic, but my work is also fairly linear....not sure exactly what ‘style’ that makes it.....
Fav Colour: Pink
Can't Scrap Without: A good felt tip pen and white, cream or kraft cardstock
Inspiration: Surfing the net, blogs and you-tube, (magazines to a much lesser extent lately) and advertising online and in magazines
Perfect Day: It would begin with a coffee brought to me in bed, followed by My DH dressing the kids and taking them out for the day, (leaving me to create to my hearts content!....) Upon his return, he would feed and bath them and put them to bed..... then we could settle in bed and watch a few episodes of our favourite sci-fi series......Bliss!
Perfect Holiday: A cabin at Victor Harbour ( little town on the beach) for a few days.....Lovely!
Fav Food: Chilli con carne and chocolate mud-cake.
Fav Drink: I am a Coffee girl!
Can't Live Without.....My family......My parents (4 of them), my sister and her family, and my own little family of 4, spend as much time as we can together.....Love it!
Sheree Forcier
Scrap Space: I’m lucky enough to have my own scrap room… although I usually find myself scrapping on the dining table so I can watch tv at the same time.
Scrap Style: I usually like clean lines and not too much clutter on my pages.
Fav Colour: Hmmm… that’s a hard one…I’d have to say red…at the moment.
Can't Scrap Without: adding some sort of stitching, thread or string somewhere on the page. I just can’t help it!
Inspiration: I find online galleries and blogs are great for inspiration. Just getting my hands on some fun new products will get me scrapping too.
Perfect Day: A full day of creating without interruption would be fantastic! I can dream can’t I?
Perfect Holiday: Anywhere warm relaxing on the beach would just be so nice… especially with it being so cold at home right now.
Fav Food: Chocolate…mmmmm
Fav Drink: Coke Zero… I drink way too much of it.
Can't Live Without: My family. I know it’s a boring answer but it’s true!

Deb Mullins
Scrap Space: Spare bedroom...no bed anymore, just paper, glue and embellishments for room decoration.
Scrap Style: Fairly simple, with a few small details. I always journal to my son on my pages...my work is his story.
Fav Colour: Green
Can't scrap without: an edited (in some way or other) photo...I confess, I am a photoshop junkie.
Inspiration: Ali Edwards...finding her in CK years ago was a defining moment for me...I discovered scrapbooking didn't have to look "crafty" or busy IYKWIM! I am always inspired to scrap after I print photos, or read someone else's great journaling, or look through my "scrapbooking" file on my computer - I copy all my favourite photos/etc from the net in one folder.
Perfect Day: Doing something fun with my family.
Perfect Holiday: House at the beach - just a simple girl.
Favourite Food: ahhhh....there are many, but I love fruit and Indian food.
Favourite Drink: Champagne
Can't live without: My family and coffee.
Jennifer Sweatman
Scrap Space: Too small- LOL! Really, it actually is tiny, a small desk with hutch from IKEA in the 'office' room I share with my husband.
Scrap Style: Simple & clean lines, I like to do journalling, stamping & distressing.
Fav Colour: Aqua type blues & brown.
Can't Scrap Without: Kraft cardstock or patterned paper
Inspiration: The many, many talented crafters who share their projects and techniques on blogs, forums and galleries. Lifestyle magazines- love their graphics & colours.
Perfect Day: A peaceful fun family breakfast & trip to the beach, followed by an uninterrupted afternoon for scrapping and then a fabulous dinner out with my husband. It's got all the things that make me relaxed & happy in it.
Perfect Holiday: If I didn't have to worry about the money, the kids or the hours spent on the plane (I hate flying) I'd love to spend 6 months travelling in Europe.
Fav Food: Too hard to narrow down! I do have a particular weakness for top quality ice-cream though.
Fav Drink: Penfolds grandfather port. De-e-e-licious!
Can't Live Without: It would be VERY hard to get by without access to a hot shower and a comfy bed. But seriously, the single most important thing to me in life is knowing Jesus.
