I'd like to take this opportunity to thank my brilliant Creative Team for all their beautiful creations this year and for their dedication and commitment. ARTastic would not function without them.
 
I'd also like to wish Chantelle all the very best as she is stepping down from the team this month. I am sure we will continue to see her amazing work popping up here and there. Thank you Chantelle for sharing a small piece of yourself with us.
 
Thank you also to our wonderful supporters - you make what we all do worthwhile. The Creative Team and myself wish you all a safe, happy Christmas and wonderful things for 2013.  Please come back and support us next year.

Introducing the lovely Sarah ...

Hi there,
 
I am a mum of 3 beautiful and busy children and wife to a Defence Force member which makes our lives very interesting, moving every 3 -4 years. We are living in the beautiful city of Adelaide at the moment which we call our home but come January we are off to Sydney for a couple of years.
 
Scrapbooking has become a great way to meet new people when I move around, and develop wonderful friendships.
 
I have now been scrapbooking for 11 years, since my first son was 6 months old. So much has changed in the scrapping world since then and I too have changed how I decorate a page. I, however, am still a very simple, little fuss scrapper. I love patterned paper and using it on my page, mixing the patterns and colours together to make the photos I take really stand out. Scrapbooking to me is about telling the story of the photo you have taken so when I am long and gone my family will have a pictorial record of the lives we lived. Most importantly I like having humour in my pages, putting a smile on some ones face who is looking at it, is a great reward.
 
To all the ARTastic Design Team and followers I thank you all for all your lovely comments you have left me over the year and I wish you all a wonderful Christmas and a fulfilling new year.

A little about Emma Hack
 
Adelaide-based artist, Emma Hack, has been exhibiting extensively throughout Australia since 1999. Through a combination of painting on canvas, body painting and studio-based photography, Emma's works evoke a rich array of visual narrative and magical realism.

Emma's recent collaboration on Gotye's 'Somebody That I Used To Know' has seen her profile skyrocket with the single in UK, Europe and US charts and over 100 million hits on YouTube.

and now some beautiful inspiration from our creative team ...
