About Me

Sarah Shipton

Hi there & thank you for stopping by my website. I extend a warm welcome to you into my scrapbooking community! For 22 years, I've been inspiring, empowering, & teaching others how to share their photos, stories and memories through scrapbooking. When Close To My Heart launched in Australia on July 1st, 2013, I added cardmaking, papercraft & stamping to my skill set, but scrapbooking remains my #1 joy & passion! I run starter classes to teach people how to "get started" & my monthly workshop events give my customers the learning opportunity & time to work on their scrapbooking projects in a social aspect. If you LOVE papercraft & enjoy helping others, I encourage you to share your creativity, skills and experience by joining my much valued Close To My Heart team! You are welcome here!
