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.

We’re still packing kits, and waiting for the UPS man to bring some final touches for Scrap Fever next weekend. As usual we’re expecting it to be a fantastic weekend, We have a great venue, and 2 of the best instructors, Donna Downey and Venessa Matthews teaching classes. I’m also looking forward to a couple of great nights sleep in those beds, and some great food with no cooking or washing up to do all weekend! (that’s almost as good as the scrapping!) If you are joining us this weekend, don’t forget to sort out your photos and have them all ready so you can complete your class projects, and if there’s anything you’ll need for the weekend, place your order and note that it’s for Scrap Fever and we’ll get it all ready for you.

One of the most common things we hear at the end of a Scrap Fever weekend is “When’s the next one!”. We don’t usually have the next one scheduled, but now we’re going to twice a year we do, so we expect a lot of places for Scrap Fever October to be booked this weekend. If you want to go please book as soon as you can as we don’t like having to disappoint people.
