With my camera glued to my face capturing all the wonderful moments of my family life I have much to celebrate and scrapbook about. My name is Letitia Grace Lauer but everyone calls me Grace. I am the mother of two beautiful children and wife to a sweet and understanding husband. They are my inspiration and my rock. They are why I scrapbook.
I have been scrapbooking for over half my life now and it has become my passion. I love creating something new and unique with paper. I love to alter items, create cards, and scrapbook. I have many other hobbies also but paper crafting is the only one I dedicate so much time and space to. I am able to make our lives more beautiful, cheer up someone with a handmade card or even document and enhance our memories for my children and my children's children. What a wonderful craft this is.
For a peek into my creative mind and to travel with me on my inspirational journey, see my blog.

My Style
This is a difficult one for me to pin down. I love mixing it up and creating outside the box. If I have requirements for a project they are met in the utmost creative way. I love adding and using products that add a bit of texture and most of all I love color. I am very detailed and deliberate when designing and selecting products for my projects.
Cindy Porter
Hi, I’m Cindy, I am married to my wonderfully supportive husband, Bill and we live in Melbourne, Victoria with our furbaby Cleopatra (Cleo) a 1 year old Russian Blue cat. I am a Mixed Media Artist, Craft Designer, Educator and Scrapbooker. I have been paper crafting for over 19 years and in that time have had the privilege of becoming a Fully Certified Ranger Educator, Copic Certified Instructor/Designer, and published designer. I am passionate about scrapbooking and paper crafting and love nothing more than to design, teach and share my technique and product knowledge. I have been teaching in Australia for the past 10 years, and have been lucky enough to have had the privilege to teach overseas on numerous occasions in the last 4 years. In my spare time I love to ride my Harley Davidson, there is nothing that compares to that feeling of freedom, except maybe designing, creating and teaching. I am excited to be part of the Helmar team.
