Creative Living Media Pty Ltd is based in Balmain, five minutes west of the city of Sydney, Australia. The combined knowledge of our specialist staff totals in excess of 100 years. We publish magazines and books for popular craft and creative pursuits and organise consumer events for the paper crafts, quilting and scrapbooking industries. Creative Living Media began in October 1999, with the purchase of Down Under Quilts magazine. During the next 12 months two other magazines, Australian Paper Crafts and For Keeps Creative Scrapbooking were started. In November 2002 we acquired Computer Craft, we launched Creative Expressions in October 2003 and acquired The Rubber Gazette in 2004. Our two newest releases, Beads Etc... and I Can Make it Myself focus on two emerging trends – beads and jewellery making and homemaker / DIY interests. Creative Weddings magazine was launched in June 2006.In 2002 we staged our first Paper Crafts Festival and we now produce festivals - Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane. We launched Australia's first scrapbook convention in December 2003 and Australia's largest quilting event in 2005. Australia's most exciting event for anyone with any creative drive and passion will be launched 15-17 February 2008 at Rosehill Gardens at Rosehill Racecourse.Our objective is to showcase and profile the wonderfully creative achievements of Australian craftspeople - in the pages of regular craft magazines, through specialty publications, at our unique events and through other media representations.
