I'm so excited to announce our new Design Team.
You've probably noticed some changes happening here on the blog, the store and our community group, and we hope you can join us on this journey.
SO LET ME INTRODUCE THE TEAM STARTING WITH ME
The Boss
Hi my name is Jodie and I am the owner and Craft Diva behind Craft on the Run.
Scrapbooking has been a passion of mine for over 15 years and I just love it.
For many years I have dreamt of owning my own store and in 2019 that dream became a reality, so now I get to do what I love all the time.
I started as a card maker but I turned to scrapbooking, as I felt this was more my style.
I am a big believer in that there are no mistakes in Scrapbooking only Unique Creations.
I love to try new crafts and I love using sprays and inks to create unique backgrounds.
I am a big fan of steampunk & grunge and tend to create more masculine layouts but I also love soft pastel colours and flowers!!!
Some of my favourite brands would be Simple Stories, Cocoa Vanilla, Mintay, 49 & Market, Dusty Attic and Scrapmatts.
Designers would be Tim Holtz, Dyan Reverley & Marta Lapkowska
So I hope that I can offer advice and encouragement and that in some way I can show you that if you dream it, you can achieve it.
You will find me currently on the design team for Scrapmatts.
I also just started a new venture with my best friend called Scrapbooking Sisters.

The Educators

Hi my name is Deb and I currently teach Cricut Layouts at the store.
I have been scrapbooking for many years and I love using my Cricut Machine to create scrapbooking layouts.
I am a big fan of Disney & my other passion is patchwork.
I also offer advice on how to set up and use your machines in a monthly technique class.
So I hope to see you in class.
*************************************
My
craft and getting time to create is my escape from a busy working life. I have
a room set up ready for weekends, where I can take a big deep breath and let my
imagination flow. My favourite creative outlets are mixed media with plenty of
sprays, paint, powders, paint brushes, hand towels and of course.... lots of
stencils. I am not a good planner before I start a page, so I get paper, photos
and let it just flow- love a bit of grunge even on my layouts with flowers. My
best tip for anyone is: if you are not sure what you want to do, clear gesso
your page first so that if you decide to add mixed media, you are well prepared.
What is in my craft room – lots of chipboard – Dusty Attic ready to be painted
for a layout, plain and patterned paper, lots of Lindy Stamp Gang, sprays and
good base products such as gesso’s, molding pastes and stamps.
My other big tip
is: your page is all about your creativity and if a paint drop or a spray drop
lands on your page in a certain spot, it was meant to land there as there are
no mistakes with mixed media and I am always happy to share what I have created
on my blog - https://rosaliescreativecafe.blogspot.com
I
am inspired by a wonderful creative lady called Heikes - https://heikesaugenblick.blogspot.com and my go to places for inspiration: Pinterest– just type in key words and see what comes up, More Than Words Blog –https://morethanwordschallenge.blogspot.com/ always amazed at what other designers create,
Mintay Paper – my favourite paper range at the moment, Instagram, start
following other scrapbookers to build up your follows and local creative scrap
bookers as we need to support and encouragement each other.
Another way is to connect with other like
mined craft people is through your local groups - https://www.facebook.com/craftontherun72/
Scrapbooking
is about being creative, de-stressing, and having fun either with others or in
your own time - so always create for you and what you like, the style you like J
Rosalie will also be joining us in our monthly challenges and a cyber crops.

My name is Rachel and I’m from Little Finn. Super excited to join the team
and I’m looking forward to getting too know everyone.
Here’s my socials info;
A little about myself;
I believe that giving a card is like giving a warm hug with a fold in the
middle. I craft everything in my Gippsland home studio, and I’m known to spread
some sparkle around with a trademark sequin or two. Having studied a Bachelor of
Visual Arts and Diploma of Education, there’s a little bit of teachery goodness
as well as artistic flair in my uniquely crafted, handmade cards.
I have a
passion for all things paper, stamps and inks that come together to put smiles
on faces.

THE TEAM
Hi I’m Tammy, I'm Jodie's younger sister.
Being a mum to 3 Autistic children takes its toll on me, so I have turned to scrapbooking for some much needed time to myself, an outlet to make new friends but mostly to tap into my creative side...apparently talent runs in the family.
