It all started with a crooked cut, a cluttered page, and a craft night that changed everything.

It was Friday evening, 5:00pm on the 2nd of February, 2004. I'd agreed to host a small Creative Memories party at home with my sister-in-law. Neither of us really knew what we were doing, but we were excited to give it a go.

Looking back, that first scrapbook page wasn't exactly a masterpiece. The cuts were crooked, the layout was a little all over the place, and don't even get me started on the handwriting!

But something happened that night.

I was completely hooked.

What started as a simple evening of sticking photos on a page quickly became so much more. Scrapbooking became my creative escape, my way to unwind after a busy week, and a way to preserve the stories and memories that mattered most.

The more I created, the more I fell in love with the craft. I loved the papers, the embellishments, the creativity, and the friendships that came with it. But there was one problem...

I could never quite find the products I was looking for.

Back then, many of the beautiful papers, embellishments and creative goodies I admired weren't easy to find here in Australia. I'd spend hours searching for products that inspired me, only to discover they weren't available or were difficult to get.

Now, if you know me, you'll know I'm a little stubborn, a little determined, and always up for a creative challenge.

So instead of accepting it, I decided to do something about it.
