About Us

Altered Treasures was born out of my passions for Altering, Art and shopping.....

I have always loved to shop (lol) and have like a lot of us, spent hours searching the Internet for that perfect charm, paper or embellishment... So I hope to share here with you some of my finds and keep sharing with you as I find new things, the arty and the unusual and the hard to find.

I have been scrapbooking for almost three years now, and have always been "arty" I guess, I did art to O level at school, studying textiles and design. Then I carried on doing more ceramic work and dabbled with silk screen printing, batik and soap and candle making..

Now I feel I have found my niche with both scrapbooking and here in the Altered world.. I adore ATC`s; Collage; Textiles and working on canvas and am a moderator of the wonderful Alternative site where I enjoy being part of some incredible mixed media round robins and swaps...

I teach Altered Art and Scrapbooking at Scrapaholic retreats all over the country; I have taught at Bonanza and demonstrated at Alexandra Palace and the NEC, and I am fortunate enough to have worked or be working for all three of the top scrapbooking magazines on the UK marketplace.

I have also had work published by the 12 x12 Magazine and have my first pages due to be published in a book “the Encyclopaedia of Scrapbooking” due out this month - August 2006 .
