Welcome!
You visited at a great time! I have something just launched a membership
Join a group of passionate memory keepers, recording stories of the people, places and things they love best
through their photos in scrapbook albums.
- Inspiration, motivation and accountability to keep you recording and sharing the photos and stories that matter most to you.
- Simple systems to organise your digital library, plan your albums, tell the stories behind your photos and display them attractively on your scrapbook pages.
- Monthly scrapbook workshop classes and Zoom Scrap 'n' Chat sessions for members only
If this is your first visit to my website, be assured this is the place for inspiration
to make sharing your photos and stories easy.
I offer classes for beginners and experienced memory keepers. Let me help you tame the beast that is your digital and print photo archive. Together, we will explore creative ways to display your photos in scrapbook albums and share the stories that mean the most to you. Along the way, you will find a group of like-minded memory keepers keen to have fun, build relationships and expand the community that is Passionate About Pages.
My most popular classes are the ones that help new and experienced scrapbookers create multiple layouts with products they own using the tools and embellishments they love best - all in short bursts of time. These workshops are called Same But Different and I regularly offer new patterns. You will find my best sellers listed below.
These ones are offered as online classes that you can work through at your own pace. They include handouts you can download and step by step videos to walk you through the whole process. Each layout offers many options for the number and size of photos to include.
If you are visiting after watching my presentation at the 2023 CTMH Virtual convention, you will find the Heroes and Supporters workshop in the 6 class bundle. I'm so happy my idea has sparked interest for you. Prices are in Australian dollars - USD is about two thirds of this amount :)
I’m here to help you.

The fastest way to complete albums is using Same But Different Scrapbook Workshops
Let me show you how versatile a Same But Different scrapbook workshop can be.
In each lesson you follow a pattern to create quick and easy scrapbook pages that you can leave simple or dress up a little. Multiple layouts can be created from one pack of papers, each one looks the same…but different as you change the orientation of elements, vary photo size and placement and add finishing touches to suit your photo theme.
You can use the same designs over and over with many different paper packs and each time they will look a little the same... but different! This is your answer to lack of time or creative inspiration. I guarantee every pattern will work for ANY papers you have on hand.
