About Ruthy

A little bit about me............... (hey I never do a 'little bit' LOL! I'm a chatterbox in word and speech  :-)

I'm married to hubby Brett for 27 yrs, together we have 5 children (4 are grown adults), 1 teenage daughter, 1 grandson and another to follow in August, all who are a blessing to our lives. We live in Australia. Besides being a musician, I've always been involved in some craft or another, especially sewing and paper craft. I have a love of all things vintage, lace and shabby chic!


I've been a scrapbooker since May 2002 and I've been published extensively in various Australian Scrapbooking Magazines- Scrapbook Memories, Scrapbook Creations and Creating Keepsakes. I have served on several online shop Design Teams and Manufacturing Design Teams. My journey has awarded me Honourable Mentions for 3 consecutive years in the Scrapbooking Masters and For Keeps - Elite. 
Photography is my passion so when I can I like to combine all three aspects.

 I joined the StampinUp family in July 2010 as an independent demonstrator and have looked forward to extending my paper-art skills in that area ever since.
During my journey with Stampin Up, I've had opportunity to be a presenter at various Stampin Up Events including Product Playground/Resource Centre and as a featured presenter at Brisbane Heartfelt Regional Event in 2012.

 I continue to enjoy my opportunities and the company and contribution my growing team makes to my life.  I am also currently a Design Team member on JAI- Just Add Ink Challenge Blog- I especially focus on contributions to the scrapbooking challenges. It is a great site for getting those creative juices flowing and trying something new by the inspiration provided by my fellow talented team members. They are the best team buddies and I continue to enjoy their friendships.


The JAI Team as of May 2013. New members recently added since :-)

My relationship with God is something I hold dear to and is  is my life's guide to all I do.I am thankful for all the creativity abilities He has given me. 
 I love spending time with family and friends existing and new. I love teaching my skills and learning from others. 
I  love people and like to always see God's potential in others and approach life with a 'glass half full' attitude!

Enjoy a little insight into my life and blog essence-
