Happy Scrapping
Anna and The Scrapping Angels Team
Hi
My name is Anna. I am the founder of Scrapping Angels and our first retreat was in 2005. A lot has been learned since September 2005, and our residentvenue at Wyboston Lakes has proved a winning formula with Scrapping Angels delegates.
I have been scrapping since 2004, and have been published regularly in our UK magazines, as well as in the US, Australia and Europe. I am an avid photographer, which makes my love for scrapbooking an added joy!
I love gardening, cooking and reading as well as raising money for a charity very close to my heart, The MS Society.
As well as running retreats and teaching all over the UK, I run the challenge website, Pencil Lines, a sketch site published weekly.
I am really looking forward to the weekend, and cannot wait to see new and familiar faces! I will leave with a sneak of my layout class, "Fascinating".
Hugs
Anna xx

Today we learn a little about Jo and Kim who run 3 Jolly Scrappers, an online craft store. "After several years of scrapbooking together and talking about running a scrapbook business, Jo and Kim finally took the plunge to make our dream a reality and
“3 Jolly Scrappers” online shop was born in November 07 opening it’s online doors in January 08. We are often asked – why “3 Jolly Scrappers”? Well it’s simple – Kim and Jo make two –
and, you, the customer makes three. The shop has evolved from our love of scrapping and our desire to source beautiful products for use on any project.
We spend most of our time taking the photos and scrapping them, and are rarely on the other side of the camera, let alone on a layout!! Our kids - 3 Jolly (Junior) Scrappers, are usually the subjects of our Layouts and are now used to being constantly snapped by us!
Our ethos is to supply high quality, co-ordinating products which will provide you with a one-stop shop to inspire you as a crafter, whatever your experience.
We pride ourselves on our excellent customer service, our attention to detail and the satisfaction you'll get when you open your packages.
We are always looking to provide our customers with products that they want. If we do not stock a particular product that you are looking for, please let us know and we will try to source it for you.
We run a monthly crop that has proved successful
– so if you are local to us, we’
d love to meet you.
Our website can be viewed at - Enjoy browsing our site!
We look forward to meeting you all at the Scrapping Angels Retreat 2009."
