I’m Natalie. I live in Newcastle with my husband and we have two boys, who are my main subjects.
I’ve been scrapbooking for about 4 years and love preserving the everyday little moments.
My boys love looking through their albums and give stuff to me “so you can scrapbook it” – I’ve trained them well !!!

Em

Hi my name is Emma and I am a SAHM to 2 little kids and about to become a mum again, for the 3rd time! My husband and I have been married for almost 6 years and he thinks my stash takes up a lot of room :) but so does his flat screen TV :) I love scrapbooking because its a great way to be creative and preserve your precious memories.

and introducing our new team members.......

Please meet...

Felicity Malyszko

I am totally addicted to all things scrapbooking have been since the first time I picked up a scrapbooking magazine. I am a stay at home mum to one ds who is 5 years old and happily married to my DH. Thankfully he understands scrapbooking.

Natallie King

I have been scrapping for about 2 years and like to try different styles and techniques on my pages. I like to incorporate non scrapping items into my layouts such as haberdashery, stationary supplies and being able to recycle. I am also working part time as a Nurse and married and have three active children. I am very passionate about scrapping and making lasting treasured memories for my family.

Joanne Caird

I live in Bright Vic, I have four children and a wonderful fiance that is very understanding when it comes to my scrapbooking passion. I have been scrapping for about 8 years. I am also a Stampin Up! demonstrator so I dabble in card making as well, but just enjoy using stamps. My children are my main focus of my work and sharing this craft is is also very enjoyable.

and last but not lest

Shelly Williams

The people you meet through this wonderful hobby( addiction!) are amazing,and the work is divine!!! I love sketch challenges, as you can really make them your own with a few tweaks, and they are great if the mojo isn't flowing too well. I have been scrapping for about 7 & 1/2 years now. My style can vary, I love 3d work, and fiddly stuff too.

So lets make these girls feel welcome and give them a big round of applause :) Glad to have you on the Black Magic team! You will be able to see their first layout reveals at the start of march

Once again thanks to all those who applied, it wasnt easy choosing out of the pile of applicants.
