Join us for a wonderful weekend full of fun and lots of Prima flowers!
We are very lucky to have been able to book Janine in her very busy schedule! I have fallen in love with her work and am very excited to have her join us for a weekend full of inspiration, lots of techniques and doing what we all love – Scrapbooking!
A little about the teacher…
Hi my name is Janine Koczwara, and I am from Adelaide, Australia. I have been scrap obsessed for 9 years now. It was my husband, Paul who suggested I should get a hobby, however I don’t think he anticipated the passion I would develop for scrapbooking! I have 5 children, Lachlan 15, Cameron 13, Ethan 9, Kaitlyn 5 and Ashton 3 who all feature in my pages. I am currently a Prima Endorsed Educator and prior to that was part of the Prima Design Team for 3 years. I have been privileged to be a DT member for For Keeps magazine in 2005 and again in 2007. Then in 2009 I won a place on their Elite Team. I have been published in For Keeps, Scrapbooking Memories, Scrapbook Creations, Australian Stamping and Papercraft (all Australian magazines) as well as magazines in Sweden and Russia and the online magazine Scrapstreet. . I have also been on the, Aussie Scrap Source Design Team (Australia’s premier wholesaler) and Chatterbox Design Team and I am a Co-founder of The Color Room, an inspiration site for scrapbookers.
I have been teaching scrapbooking for over 8 years, and love the opportunity to share the techniques I have learnt along my scrapbooking journey as well as meeting the wonderful people in my classes. I have travelled both interstate and internationally teaching scrapbooking. My style is best described as Shabby Chic, and is extremely layered and feminine and I love to show people how to re-create all those beautiful layers in their pages.
