Kim Archer is the founder of the Workshops @Home site and has been involved in the scrapbook industry since 2003, designing and teaching workshops around Australia as well as online. Her work has appeared in many magazines and she was chosen as a member of the 2004 Elite Team and the 2005 Scrapbooking Masters Team.

I must admit my favourite workshops are those which run over an extended time where there’s loads of interaction with class participants and we reveal the projects over a number of days - these are generally found in our SPECIAL EVENTS category on the site.

I guess I always reach for fabric strips and Making Memories teeny tiny letter stickers when creating layouts and projects.

I bought a scrapbooking magazine way back in 2003 and was instantly hooked. I had discovered this whole other world existed out there. A world filled with photography, patterned paper, embellishments and like minded people. My background is in graphic arts and I also ran a ceramic design studio for eight years before leaping across into the scrapbook industry.

My scrapbooking journey has been so varied and exciting. I have had the opportunity to write and design articles for a number of different Australian magazines, design scrapbook product, co-author the Celebrate with the 2004 Elite Team book and work as a tutor at retreats and conventions. And now I am fortunate enough to work full time on the @Home site designing and teaching workshops and running my own enterprise!
