REGISTER NOW FOR CREATIVE INSPIRATION 2020 Jowilna Nolte I started my paper journey officially in about 2000 as a shop assistant in a specialty paper store in Sandton, Johannesburg, South Africa after having studied Pastoral Psychology. Whilst I have been playing with paper and creating my own masterpieces at home for friends and family since the age of 10, the shop environment added the vast knowledge of handmade and imported paper as well as the common commercial types of paper. I also started teaching card making, stamping and altered art in store at the time. Traveling abroad to trade shows like Paperworld in Frankfurt, Germany and CHA in America gave me an even broader insight into paper and its many uses. This prompted a keen interest in stamping, especially in the craft industry where scrapbooking seems to be my favourite. I have since gone on to be editor of two scrapbooking and craft magazines as well as being a contributing editor to several other craft magazines currently on the market. My work has been published extensively in local magazines and on the internet as well as in international publications such as Somerset Studios, Take Ten magazine, and Catch Up Issues. My love for publishing and sharing ideas, tips and techniques shifted me onto another career path and saw the publication of my first book in 2008. My second book was released in December 2010 and has been on the 4th best seller in South Africa since its release. In less than three months it has been sold out and is now in its second print. Scrapbooking has been a natural extension of my love for card making and stamping that also accommodates my love and passion for photography. I currently teach regular classes and host workshops around the country that mainly focuses on different techniques and stamping, and how to incorporate them into your scrapbooking and card making. I currently design for various distributors in South Africa to promote their products and teach scrapbooking classes weekly as well being on various international design teams including Couture Creations. Creating can be a wonderful journey and therapy making sense of things where life cannot, and I have tuned my life into this philosophy. Visit Jowilna's Blog by Clicking Here Cariena Basson My hometown is Jeffreys Bay, South Africa. I own a Scrapbook Store there, that turned 10 years old this year (2019) I have been teaching Scrapbook classes for 10 years. My passion is paper, ink, stamps and just enjoying what I do. Preserving memories is important to me, so everything I do on my layouts, are done to showcase those precious moments. Coming back to teach for the 2nd time at the Couture Creations Event in Brisbane is an honour. I am super excited to share what I love with everyone. We are going to have so much creative fun! See you all in February ♥ Visit Cariena's Blog by Clicking Here Lucy Campeanu Lucy is no newcomer to the stamping and scrapbooking industry with 12 years designing and making her own stamps under the name Lucy’s Stamps. Traveling all over Australia, New Zealand and even America to teach classes in stamping and scrapbooking. Some of those designs are still being made today. Lucy is passionate about art and teaching people to develop their own creativity. There is a moment when you create something beautiful or learn a new technique that gives you a rush of satisfaction. Lucy has spent the years after selling Lucy’s Stamps, dabbling in many mediums. Some of which are plasma cutting, painting in watercolours, oils, alcohol inks, stained glass, silversmithing and even making a sword in Glastonbury at a forge. Travel journaling and art journaling have become a passion which led back to wanting to design stamps, papers, die cuts. Lucy enjoys taking her hand painted papers, and stamps designs from a concept to a class situation. Living in the beautiful Northern Rivers NSW with her husband Gino. Her style could be described as eclectic, as each new yummy product she finds, brings new exciting ideas and projects. Alcohol inks and stamps are a passion. She believes creative play is good for the soul. Visit Lucy's Blog by Clicking Here Jo Simons Hi! My name is Jo-Anne Simons (tho most call me Jo) and I live in Perth Western Australia. I’m a stay at home mum to 3 teenagers/young adults and happily married to the love of my life all of whom feature heavily in my work. About my work – I love to create layouts and cards. I would describe my work as clustered, clean and pretty. My projects are quite structured with lots of layering, clustering and dimension Although I love to dabble in mixed media – I tend to always come back to my clean simple style. Scrapbooking for me isn’t just about memory keeping, it’s an outlet to be creative and just unwind from the daily stresses of life. I don’t really follow any rules in my papercraft – as long as I enjoy the process and am happy with the end results, then that is all that matters! I am extremely grateful and humbled to be a part of Creative Inspiration Live 2020 and cannot wait to share with you my passion for paper and all things Couture Creations!

Details and registration form here: https://couturecreations.com.au/inspiration If you have any questions or queries about the event, please email us at: creativeinspiration@couturecreations.com.au   My name is Michelle and in the online world some of you might also know me as Mrs Frizz. I love to create with paper, cardstock, paint, mists, gesso, metal dies, canvases, flowers, chipboard, off the page projects.  I love adding ‘bitsers’ to my creativity.  I love to play a little, that really should say, I love to be creative. I work full time as an executive assistant, but when I’m not at work, friends and family know that they can find me at home in my craft room. You can normally find me playing, oops, that really should read, creating in my messy crafty space - it makes me happy.  It’s my ‘me’ time, it’s what I do to relax. I enjoy cardmaking, making tags, mixed media, anything paper related, altered art and off the page projects and yes, I do still create the occasional scrapbook layout and I love making little boxes for little treasures and trinkets for friends and family.  You can find my creations here on my blog: https://frisbys.blogspot.com My name is John Bloodworth and I am, like you, an arts and craft enthusiast and have been so for over 30 years. I have previously worked as a TV producer, a role in which I created over 10,000 hours of TV and internet content about arts and crafts. Having recently completed the All Counties Craft Challenge - a creative fund raising campaign in aid of Mind, the mental health charity. - I am now engaged in a variety of activities including demonstrating arts and crafts on TV, designing my own range of products and also sharing my creative passions under my online pseudonym, Gentleman Crafter. You can find my creations here on my blog: https://gentlemancrafter.com/ My name is Collette and I have been in love with paper all my life. I remember cutting out and collecting those little paper dolls and their amazing wardrobes from a very young age; I still hunt them out today! I opened a craft shop 14 years ago and of course I had a HUGE papercrafting department. I really enjoyed running classes and had an amazing group of ladies who come week after week, some for 14 years! Although I love all forms of paper play, I am a passionate card maker and have a love of the more unusual ‘foundation’ cards. A few years ago I won Australia’s Card Maker of the Year, and feature most months in a variety of card making magazines. I have also been on a few Design Teams which has been amazing fun! I am a passionate YouTuber and love to bring my more creative cards to life with You Tube classes and am blessed to have thousands of followers from all around the world. You can find my creations here on my blog: http://lillybits.blogspot.com/ I have been scrapbooking, card and paper crafting for over 20 years. It is a hobby and my creative out let which I am totally passionate about. I believe that preserving memories is important. You will always find me in my craft room creating, experimenting with different techniques and playing with new products. My mission is to inspire others to give it a go. Another passion of mine is creating altered art pieces, turning everyday items into works of art.  My work has been shared on many paper-crafting Design Teams and published in many paper-crafting magazines around the world. I am so excited to be creating again for Couture Creations, along with the other talented Design Team Members, we hope to inspire you all with our projects.
