I have been scrapbooking for ten years and started just after the birth of my eldest son. I love trying lots of different techniques but my favourite is to sew on my pages.  My scrapbooking is often inspired by different scrapbooking challenges.  By doing different challenges, I has found it often pushes me to try new techniques and helps me in creating new styles.

GELI DUNCAN

My name is Geli (short for Angelika) and it’s pronounced like Gay-Lee. I am from beautiful Dresden in East Germany. Both my grandparents were artists and art was always a big part of my family (kitsch was strictly not allowed in our home!) I studied art in my teens, but in my 20ies I loved traveling and experiencing different cultures. I have lived in several European countries in both East and West before meeting my Aussie husband while doing volunteer work in the Russian Urals. We used to perform together in a puppet theatre I created. Now we live with our 3 children in sunny Queensland. I stumbled into scrapbooking when I was a stay at home mum with a toddler and a baby and needed a creative outlet. I realised that I had scrapbooked before I knew it was “a thing”, when creating photo albums for my friends to showcase their volunteer work. I’ve been teaching scrapbook classes since 2007 and my classes are held at Scrappin’ With Style at TJ’s in Logan, south of Brisbane. I love meeting and creating with all the wonderful ladies who share my love of playing with paper and glue. I am always looking for different techniques and styles to try and will give everything a go.
