Dyan Reavely

Hi I’m Dyan,

I am the owner of Art from the Heart, a large teaching and design studio in Harrogate, North Yorkshire, where I can be found teaching a large variety of eclectic classes. I am the Senior Educator in Europe for Ranger Industries and I am well known for my innovative and down to earth style, and I am a regular contributor to the British crafting magazines. I have always been obsessed with paint and techniques and I am currently on a mission to get the world Art Journaling and strongly believe it should be available on the NHS..!! lol.

Along with my daughter Jay, we founded Blonde Moments, which is a British company with fabby hand painted papers large and small, funky rubber stamps, stunning pearl pigments and gorgeous ultra thick embossing powders.

I am also mum to four grown up kids, Ben, Tom, Jay and Emmi and proud grandma to the gorgeous Maisie Lilly. My favourite things of all time are: Toffees, Paint, Art journaling, Firemen, the colour Black and Northern Soul – Keep the Faith!

Kelly Purkey

I remember the day I discovered my Grandmother’s scrapbooks and was so delighted to have this glimpse into her life. It all became clear exactly why I take so many photos, save each piece of paper, and try to record every aspect of my life as a young single girl. I am lucky to currently live in New York City, where there is inspiration around every corner. Besides scrapbooking I love traveling, curling up with a good book, laughing with friends, and cupcakes with lots of icing.  I’m honored to be designing for American Crafts and Fiskars, as well as being part of the 2008-2009 Creating Keepsakes Dream Team and a Garden Girl at 2ps.
