It is with much sadness that we bid our old
design team farewell. They have all been such great inspiration
to us all & a great pleasure to work alongside. Thanks ladies for
being such wonderful ambassadors for Green Tara.
It is with great excitement that we formally welcome our
NEW design team as well as some returning members too.
Our new team hails from all over the world & between
them, they bring so much talent & diversity.
They start showcasing their beautiful work, both here
on the blog & facebook in November.
So without further ado, please welcome the
NEW
Green Tara Design Team.
Jelissa Mei - Singapore
My name is Jelissa Mei and I hail from sunny Singapore where
it's
summer nearly all year round. I work full-time as a forensics scientist
and as a mother of two rowdy boys aged 1.5 and 3.5. I started
out by taking photos when I scuba-dived and that evolved into to
taking pictures of my sons when they were born. That was when
I discovered scrapbooking as a unique and beautiful way of preserving
those cherished childhood memories. I hope to make wedding gifts
out of these creations to give to my boys one day, to remind them
that they are precious and to hold on to the important things in life.

Maria Featon - Australia
My name is Maria Featon & I am a wife and mother from lovely
Southeast Queensland, Australia. I discovered scrapbooking when my
daughter was born in 2008 and it quickly became an obsession!
I loved it so much I went on to work in the papercrafting industry in
various roles including retail management and teaching. I am now happily
employed at The Scrap N Patch as a retail assistant and teacher of
scrapbooking, card making and mixed media classes. My style varies
a bit, but the common theme is texture and dimension. I love the
versatility of Green Tara products to suit my different creative moods.
It's a real honour to be joining the design team and I look forward to
creating alongside such an inspirational group of ladies.

Pascale B. - France
"Hi, my name is Pascale. I'm live in France, near Tours,
with my two teenagers. I started scrapbooking at the end
of 2010. One of my hobbies is photography and over the
years I've taken a lot, really a lot, of pictures, but they always
stay in my computer. I've always like handicraft. So scrapbooking is
just a way to combine two of my hobbies. A way to express my
creativity and to showcase my photos. Since I began to scrap, flowers are
part of my layouts, and I gradually started to use mixed media as well.
I don’t know how to define my own style, perhaps something like
free vintage shabby style could be a good definition.
But it’s up to you to judge :) "

I'm not good at English, but I am studying it with joy.
I discovered scrapbooking in 2006, but was unable to scrap so much
because my physical condition was not good for three of my pregnancies.
Now, I'm very well and addicted to scrapbooking so much!!

Linda Thompson - Australia
Hi my name is
Linda, I married my soul mate in 1997 and
we have 8 children 2yrs to 20ys with only one boy.
We also have a 1yr old grandson.
We live in NSW Australia and I'm a SAHM. I have been
scrapping for 9yrs. After the birth of a very premature baby,
a friend took me to a class to take my mind of my sick daughter,
after that I was addicted. In those 8yrs I have had the pleasure
to be on the Green Tara DT for 3yrs along with several other
Design Teams. I have been lucky enough to have a supportive
partner who helped me own my own scrapbooking store for 6yrs.
I used to only do pages but have recently discovered I really enjoy
altered art and OTP items too. I would have to say I am addicted
to flowers & chipboard. I love to use inks & mists on just about
everything I do. With 7 girls just about all my pages etc are very
girly but now with a new grandson I can finally throw some
boyish things in there too, but I do hope he likes flowers!!!
I am excited to be continuing with Green Tara and look
forward to sharing my inspiration with you all.
