Rachael Elliott

Rachael is married with two girls and works part time as a staff nurse.

She has been scrapping for nearly five years. Rachael decided to have a go at making cards,
then a friend suggested that she might like scrapping and she hasn't, looked back since!

Rachael is not sure she has a definite style but she does love trying to add depth and definition to her pages. Her favourite style of scrapping has to be vintage, shabby chic and Rachael loves trying to create as many of her own embellishments as she can by using elements of the papers.

She has been published in Scrapbook Magazine, Scrapbook Inspirations and Creative Cardmaking.

Please visit her blog to see some of Rachaels amazing work



Elaine Rolfe

Hi I'm Elaine, and I'm a scrapaholic......I find its easier to come clean first. I've been scrapping for 3 years now ever since my husband got me some paper 'n glue for Xmas. He now regrets buying it as he never sees me anymore !!

I've been teaching at PaperArts for the last 2 years and have really enjoyed it. I've been published in Scrapbook Inspirations, and am a design team member for Scrapbook Magazine. I even had a Layout used by Basic Grey in one of their newsletters!      Last year I won 'Scrapbooker of the Year' with Scrapbook magazine.

My style is a bit distressed, colourful, busy and definately NO white space !!!  I like to use coloured photos, and sometimes like to do lots of cutting out...

There are a lot of examples of my work and classes on my blog Please have a look and feel free to follow me.



Penny Kafai


Penny is a mum of one beautiful girl, married, a little daft at times but the majority of the time she is quite sane. 

She came into scrapbooking about 5 years ago as a progression from cardmaking. The main subject of Pennys pages is her daughter as she is very photogenic, which for a scrapper is just perfect.

Penny usually has a camera in her handbag just in case an opportunity for a photo comes along.

She has been published a number of times in Scrapbook Inspirations and along with a friend runs a monthly crop in the Pontypridd Historical Museum.

Penny has taught at Scrapz Retreat and MagicalMeTreat as well as being a guest teacher at crops and day workshops.
