Georgina Hefferman!!!

A couple of us in the office have become aquatinted with Georgina 
through her ROCKIN' challenge blog Scrap Whispers

and of course from her love of BoBunny!  

We must we ADORE her.  

So with out further ado, 
lets get to know Georgina!

My name is Georgina Hefferman, I recently turned 31 years old 

and I live in the UK. I am currently single and whilst I have no kids 

of my own I  have 4 cats that keep me fully occupied and they are great 

subjects for my scrapbook pages! I  also have a pretty large family that 

keep me busy with various custom craft projects and

 I have a great group of friends too.  I work full time during the day for a large 

Insurance Company in Commercial Property Insurance Claims 

dealing with large losses over the value of £100,000 and when I am finished 

there I teach linedancing a couple of times a week. I started line-dancing 

when I was 16 and have been a fully qualified instructor and medal adjudicator 

for around 8 years -its such a great hobby and I love the contact 

I get with all kinds of great people. Seriously, my 

life is non stop I wonder how I manage to fit crafting in!

Georgina's Dear Family

My favourite craft has to be scrapbooking, but cardmaking comes 

a very close second. I was a scrapbooker first and foremost but 

love the quick crafty fix a card can give me when I am short on time, 

which can be quite often!  The thing I enjoy most about paper-crafting

is being able to spend time in my craft room every day -  chilling out 

after a long day, relaxing, listening to music or watching a 

movie whilst simply unwinding. Paper-craft is such a therapeutic hobby.

I started my paper craft obsession when I was about 6 years old. 

I still have an old fashioned scrapbook my mum gave me when I 

was little and I have cut out pictures from magazines and catalogues 

and layered them in there! I then progressed in high school to 

making collages and eventually in 2005 discovered scrapbooking. 

I found a little scrapbooking community on line and the rest 

as they say is history! I am so pleased I was bored that day, 

surfing the internet (on dial up) wishing for something to do!

I love to scrapbook pages about my family, my friends, my cats, 

stuff I do, events I attend, milestones in my life, my garden, my hobbies... 

the list goes on - absolutely anything goes! I especially love a challenge 

that pushes me outside my comfort zone, scrapbooking things 

I wouldn't normally scrapbook.  I enjoy the weekly scrapbook 

challenge on my Scrap Whisper Challenge blog for this exact reason.

It is so difficult to choose my favourite Bo Bunny collection. 

Purple is my absolute favourite colour - my craft room, car, 

bedroom, blog, phone, computer etc etc are all purple. On this basis 

alone I would have to say Peacock Lane - although Sophie 

is a very close second.  I am obsessed with Christmas too and adore the new 

Noel collection - I cannot wait to get to play with this!

I would have to say, favourite movie of all time is Big, with Tom Hanks. 

I can watch that again and again and never get bored of it. 

As for favourite music thats a hard one. I listen to every genre 

with my dancing and love it all - from Country to Pop, Latin, 

Irish and more! At the moment though my ipod seems to 

be stuck on either Rascal Flatts or Michael Buble!

Back in 2006 there was not very many challenge blogs around, 

many of the scrapbooking challenges were simply made

 up on message boards and forums by like minded people wanting

 to do something different with their papercrafting. I discovered I loved 

setting challenges, not only did it make me push my own scrapbooking boundaries, 

enabling me to try new things and develop my own scrapbooking style,  

but I loved seeing what other people did with those challenges. I got excited 

when I inspired people to create something wonderful. We also used to

 play lots of games online and I had the idea for a scrap whisper game 

where we worked in teams to scraplift each others layouts. 

It was such fun and became so popular on the forums that it kind of

 needed its own home so we could keep it all together. Hence the scrap

 whisper blog was born and we combined the main scraplifting game

 with weekly challenges to keep us engaged and inspired.  I now even 

have a Design Team who do wonderful things and never fail to inspire me.

Lets here it for Georgina!  Make sure to leave her a comment!

Here is a link to her blog, and also the Scrap Whispers blog.

Also, we have a big reveal coming this weekend, starting tomorrow!

STAY TUNED!!!
