Life\" href=\"http:\/\/www.thewholesaler.biz\/SNAP\">SN@P! Life<\/a> is an easy to use range of papers and stickers that tell the story for you in so many ways. Their beautiful everyday captions, themed stickers and matching albums co-ordinate beautifully with any holiday themed photos because of their bright colours. The papers are designed in a way that you can easily \u2018piece\u2019 together a layout for a 12&#215;12 album, or simply work in their smaller album and fill the supplied \u2018pockets\u2019 with your favourite memories. It really is quick and easy. But also important is that you can incorporate your scrapping style, favourite elements and techniques into the <a title=\"Simple Stories - SN@P!

And because most of the work was already done for me I could simply add my photos and stickers and my job was done! I love it \u2013 because I don\u2019t feel pressured to do an elaborate design, but at the same time I am not stressed out because I haven\u2019t scrapped my beautiful memories.

I started off my career in retail working in a paper shop importing handmade speciality papers from japan, Canada, India and America. We also imported a range of rubber stamps (PSX), along with Ranger Products, and Tsukineko to mention a few. This was all back in 2000. I moved to the wholesale part of the business and got involved in window dressing and opening a second flagship store for the company while the owners were overseas. I have travelled extensively to America visiting CHA and Frankfurt Germany to their biggest paper trade show \u201cPaperworld\u201d where I gained valuable knowledge regarding the industry. After a whirlwind love affair with the business I headed off into the sunset to fulfil my second dream by working in publishing. I started off as Technical Editor on a scrapbooking magazine and worked on several other craft publications in the company as well. But this was not enough \u2013 after a long journey I started my own scrapbooking magazine, which transformed into writing a real book book as opposed to a magazine book, and the rest is history. I am currently a best-selling author in the craft industry with my book \u201cScrap-Boek\u201d being the fourth best seller in South Africa and currently in second print. I am a freelance artist doing work for various companies such as Caxton Magazines that includes Rooi Rose and Bona Magazine to mention a few. I travel regularly to various shows teaching and presenting lectures on scrapbooking, card-making and creativity. I have been published several times in American publications such as Taken Ten Magazine, Catch Up Issue \u2013 both Somerset Publications. I was also asked to be a guest artist by Taken Ten Magazine for one of their issues in which an entire article was dedicated to my work. In December 2011, I made my television debut by presenting Christmas Crafts on 3 Talk with Noeleen. After a bit of a sabbatical with my on-line classroom website Scrapcouture, we are busy revamping it with a fresh new approach to bringing creativity and new techniques to people all over the world. Other than that I spend lots of time scrapbooking and making cards and teaching classes weekly in Gauteng as well as throughout South Africa. I am passionate about what I do and I have had many amazing experiences and met so many famous people throughout my creative journey. I am truly blessed with a gift from God!\",\"sameAs\":[\"http:\/\/facebook.com\/jowilna.nolte\"],\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.thewholesaler.biz\/blog\/author\/jowilna\/\"}]}<\/script>\n<!-- \/ Yoast SEO plugin. -->","yoast_head_json":{"title":"Simple Stories SN@P! - keeping it real","description":"Now's the time to take a few minutes & get some scrapping done.

I started off as Technical Editor on a scrapbooking magazine and worked on several other craft publications in the company as well. But this was not enough \u2013 after a long journey I started my own scrapbooking magazine, which transformed into writing a real book book as opposed to a magazine book, and the rest is history. I am currently a best-selling author in the craft industry with my book \u201cScrap-Boek\u201d being the fourth best seller in South Africa and currently in second print. I am a freelance artist doing work for various companies such as Caxton Magazines that includes Rooi Rose and Bona Magazine to mention a few. I travel regularly to various shows teaching and presenting lectures on scrapbooking, card-making and creativity. I have been published several times in American publications such as Taken Ten Magazine, Catch Up Issue \u2013 both Somerset Publications. I was also asked to be a guest artist by Taken Ten Magazine for one of their issues in which an entire article was dedicated to my work. In December 2011, I made my television debut by presenting Christmas Crafts on 3 Talk with Noeleen. After a bit of a sabbatical with my on-line classroom website Scrapcouture, we are busy revamping it with a fresh new approach to bringing creativity and new techniques to people all over the world. Other than that I spend lots of time scrapbooking and making cards and teaching classes weekly in Gauteng as well as throughout South Africa. I am passionate about what I do and I have had many amazing experiences and met so many famous people throughout my creative journey. I am truly blessed with a gift from God!","sameAs":["http:\/\/facebook.com\/jowilna.nolte"],"url":"https:\/\/www.thewholesaler.biz\/blog\/author\/jowilna\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thewholesaler.biz\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4018","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thewholesaler.biz\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thewholesaler.biz\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thewholesaler.biz\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/237"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thewholesaler.biz\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4018"}],"version-history":[{"count":20,"href":"https:\/\/www.thewholesaler.biz\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4018\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7023,"href":"https:\/\/www.thewholesaler.biz\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4018\/revisions\/7023"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thewholesaler.biz\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4017"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thewholesaler.biz\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4018"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thewholesaler.biz\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4018"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thewholesaler.biz\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4018"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
