A Little about Tattered Inspirations

Tattered Inspirations is a little business which aims to provide products with a vintage heart to use in your crafts - be it scrapbooking, card making or other crafty pursuits.

The Tattered Inspirations shop is here
Tattered Inspirations

Markets - we will keep you informed as we have no idea when we will be able ot go to the Old Bus Depot due to their rennovations. once I know I will pop it here :)

The business is only tiny and is not in any way out to make lots of money but rather to offer products to compliment the usual supplies available by big companies.

The Design Team Rachel Walsh, Belinda Comerford, Kathy Marchant, Daniella Tassone and Suzie Lowe creatively use the products to show people what can be done - and I treasure their input and design work immensly.

Thank you for dropping by, we aim to encourage and inspire you to do something different out of your comfort zone, in new and exciting ways.

And the Winner Is......

As you all know Tattered Inspirations sponsored the November Challenge at Let's Get Shabby

And the winner is:


Our Angel by Naomi

Very shortly Naomi will be receiving this pack from Tattered Inspirations:


As my congratulations.....

Thanks to all who entered the competition at Let's Get Shabby, the work was outstanding and so very different from each other and contained layouts and OTP as well. I did ask Mandy how they were able to judge this as it was so difficult with so many outstanding entries ..... awesome!!

Anyway - thanks to the Let's Get Shabby team for allowing me to sponsor the competition .... next time I might have fun with an entry or two!

I will be away until Sunday now in the Barossa Valley and will not chat til then

So have fun this week

Lots of love
