Someone Familiar

If you have been following the Stuck?! blog for a while, you would know that today's new CT member is actually a returning member. Charmane Koch had been on the team for over 2 years before deciding to take the last term off. I am glad to say that she is back now and I am looking forward to seeing layouts from her again.

A little bit about Charmane:

My name is Charmane Koch, and I have been scrapbooking since May 2004, a couple of months after my son Chei was born. Since then, I haven't stopped! There's not a day that goes by that I don't do something related to scrapbooking {or think about it!}


After living in Melbourne for the past 15 years or so, I have recently moved to South Australia, with my partner and 3 children, Chei {7}, Harmony {5} and Ryarne {almost 2} to be closer to my family and give the kids a new way of living. My partner Ashan, got into Photography around the same time as my scrapping, so we both have similarly related passions!

In the years that I have been scrapping, I have been on numerous Design and Creative Teams, published numerous times in Aussie mags such as Scrapbooking Memories, Scrapbook Creations & For Keeps {when it was around!}. I have also taught online classes from 2006, which has been rewarding and challenging too!

I am so stoked to be back on the Stuck?! Team, I find that when I truly am "stuck" Sara's sketches always help me get started. My style changes from time to time, but at the moment I am loving paint, stitching, distressing - I also love handmade items - they are definitely a must on my pages!

I look forward to inspiring others along with the fab team at Stuck?! Sketches :)
