Hi I’m Becky, I am a paper artist and since 2011 I have run my own stationery business, Retro from Scratch. I make nostalgic notebooks by recycling old, un-loved books and I give them a new lease of life in the form of notebooks, planners and diaries. I am passionate about caring for our environment and reducing waste, so any left-over book pages are used in my craft kits and craft workshops.

I live on the London / Essex border with my husband and two dogs, Bert and Ted. In my spare time I enjoy exploring the Essex countryside, and sharing interesting dog friendly walks on our dedicated social media pages, Follow the Paws Outdoors. This allows me to enjoy my love of history, nature, and also discover wonderful tea rooms where it would be rude not to sample the cake!
