Meet our lovely Design Team:

Tracey
(DT co-ordinator)

Hi I’m Tracey. I grew up in Ontario Canada, moving to Australia when I married my husband Richard in 1990. I have one teenage daughter Hannah and one very spoiled poodle. I lived in Cairns for 18 years, but now call Brisbane home. My passion for paper crafting started 13 years ago when I started making cards using rubber stamps. My hobby quickly grew into a business and in 1999 I opened Platypus Creek Stamping and Craft. I love all forms of paper crafting but my favourite is still cardmaking. This is my third year on the DownUnder design team, and I am thrilled to still be here, now as DT co-ordinator.

My journey with paper craft perhaps began as a child, as I was sketching and drawing on the dining room table, and later in Art College as I experimented with collage, colour and design. That was 15 years ago, maybe more, ever since I have been an avid scrapbooker, cardmaker and off the page gal.

I have taught for many years now both large and small classes and at various shops, camps and tafe. I have been published many times and won first prize in the Professional Scrapbooking section of the RNA in 2009 and 2010. I have been on a design teams and currently teach in two major shops. I like to experiment with paper and design, my style has evolved, from interactive pages to a more shabby chic, style with a little grunge thrown in. My pages are full of colour, texture, and elements, kind of a “feast for the eyes”. I love to share my journey in paper craft with my students and friends, and encourage them to use their imagination and skill to create wonderful memories for the years to come.

Hi I'm Sheree.  I'm 34 years old from Sydney NSW... I live with my very supportive partner and I am mum to Kaitlyn who is 10 years old ... I've been scrapping and card making now for around 9 years and I’m totally addicted to it all but if I have to be honest I’m probably more addicted to the shopping part LOL... In my spare time (LOL when I'm not scrapping that is) I am an avid reader of murder mystery books and I love TV Series on DVD's... I'm a scrapper that can’t scrap without noise whether it be my Ipod on or the tv... I am very excited to be a part of the Down Under Direct Design Team using my all time favourite products
