“Hi! My name is Megan Gourlay, and I live 5 minutes north of Christchurch, in Woodend, with my husband Forbes (yes that really is his first name!), and our two fur babies, Dougal and McKenzie.

I‟m a bit of an old fashioned chick, in that I love anything heritage, whether I‟m scrapping layouts, or reading etc. So my scrapping does tend to feature heritage layouts at times.

I started off making cards originally back in 2001 and did nothing else for a long time. Some years later I ventured into OTP, and layouts came along a long time later. OTP remain one of my favourite things to scrap!

I love distressing things, inking and stamping so you will find a lot of my OTP or layouts tend to incorporate those things. I love creating girly things, and find items for boys more of a challenge, but I‟m quite stubborn by nature, so I don't give in!

I‟ve been on the DT at Artistic Document, which is based in Australia for the last 12 months, and I also have been teaching classes for the past three years.

I‟m delighted to be invited to join the DT at 'the Patch', and look forward to showing you some OTP tricks and hopefully teach some classes!”
