"Hi!   My name is Ali Parris & I live in the UK with my long suffering husband 
(29 years to date!) & our dog Basil. We are lucky enough to have 2 beautiful daughters
 & their chaps plus a grand-daughter & grandson, who are the light of our lives.

I started scrapbooking when my grand-daughter was born 5 years ago.
 I had dabbled in card making but never felt the passion that I have for scrapping!

I played in blog land for a while & joined the Frosted Designs Design Team.
As my confidence grew & I began to develop my style I decided to take the plunge
 & submit a layout to Scrap365 magazine. I was beyond thrilled when it was accepted! 

That was in March 2013 & since then my scrapping life has taken a huge change in direction!
  I was asked to join the Design Team for the magazine & after submitting my first article
 was asked if I would consider becoming the Editor!  As they say, the rest is history!! 
 I now have my dream job - hard work but oh so rewarding!

I am thrilled to have been invited to Guest Judge this month at SATW!

Please welcome Ali to her judging role with us this month & let the
Scrap 365 team know how much you value their incredible inspiration!

See you all again soon for Guest Team FIVE in a few days...

Thank you so much to this uber-talented team!!!

7 Dots Studio have sponsored this coveted prize
for one of our ten Epic Winners!


I mean WHO in their right mind 
would not want to win this?!?

I am excited too that we have the delightful Tusia Lech
as our 3rd Guest Judge, judging {as owner of 7Dots Studio}



I love all kinds of media – if I would have to define my style, I would say that media
 are the only constant thing. My favourite colours are fresh, bold greens, blues & pinks,
 but at the same time I just love delicate, pale hues of beige, rose & white.
 However there is something in my projects that can be found always 
– a positive, feminine style.

Scrapbooking fills my whole life – it is all around me – in my private life & in my job 
& career. I love the process of creation – I have created things since early
 childhood – all kinds of handmade things always attracted me. I cannot
 imagine my life without making some art. Even if I leave for a weekend,
 I always take my small “art-bag”, filled with art-journal supplies

. I am lucky enough to be a designer in a few very creative places.
 I love drinking coffee, reading books, walking through the forest, 
watching flowers on the meadow, basking in the autumn sun & 
being deep in my inner world. I can say that I am happy person 
& wouldn't change a single thing in my life.

We are past half-way through the month now
Have your got your entry in?!?

We are truly blessed too to have the wonderful owner of 2Crafty,
Vanessa Tiberti, joining us this month as our 2nd Guest Judge!


As the owner of 2Crafty Chipboard, I don’t get much time to craft anymore,
which is a shame & I miss it very much.  However,  before I began 2Crafty in 2006,
 I was predominately a card maker who sold my creations in my father’s pharmacy.
 After the sudden loss of my Father-in-law in 2005, I began scrapbooking 
by creating a Remembrance Album for the family to look back on. 

 At a local craft show a Laser Cutter was being demonstrated & my mind went
 into overdrive with the possibilities of what this machine was capable of!  
 I gave up my corporate HR/payroll job & embarked on creating 2Crafty Chipboard.!! 

 I truly love this industry & what it brings to peoples lives.
 I am so fortunate to have one of the best International Design Teams working for me
& they inspire me daily to continue to create beautiful & versatile products. 
 I’m thrilled to be able to sponsor & judge this wonderful event
 & look forward to seeing what everyone creates!


Almost half-way through the month now!
Time to get your entry in if you haven't already!!
HAPPY CREATING!!!
