Rosemary Merry, one of our craft experts, has scooped the award for Scrapbooker of the Year! Congratulations Rosemary!
Thousands of readers of Cardmaking and Papercraft voted for the Craft Hobby & Stitch International Awards 2008. This particular award can be won by anyone in the world and last year it was won by another craft expert familiar to QVC, Anna Griffin.


Well done Rosemary. You really do deserve this award. I always watch your shows and buy many of your products. It was you that inspired me to do my first scrapbook of my son's prom..Keep up the good work and I look forward to watching many more hours of you on QVC.

Well Done Rosemary, a richly deserved award!
I have used many of your expertly demonstrated techniques, especially in a Scrapbook for my late Mum, who had dementia but was able to enjoy looking at her life "in pictures" that she was unable to articulate to us in words.
You are a very special person Rosemary.........keep inspiring us all!
Congratulations from Hilary xx

Rosemary, congratulations! I love our shows together and echo the sentiments of Maureen who said you don't take much credit for all you do. You are so humble about your achievements but you'll just have to accept the compliments as it's official now!! You're fab! Oh, and that Nigel of yours, he's not too shabby either. Can't wait to see you and have a good catch up.
Love Catherine xx

This award is so deserved. Rosemary is so honest when sharing her knowledge and never takes credit when she has scraplifted, in fact, she doesn't take much credit at all and so much is due, because it is Rosemary that has made scrapbooking so popular. Congratulations to her and I hope she receives any more accolades, she certainly deserves them.

Congratulations Rosemary! This is a well deserved award for you. I always enjoy your scrapbooking shows on QVC (even if my credit card doesn't always agree). You certainly give us all some super new ideas for using qvc products. Keep up the good work and hoping to see more scrapbooking shows on QVC.
