I am so excited to introduce our Special Guest Designer this month, it is no other, than the amazing Romy Veul!!!
My name is Romy Veul and I'm a 19-year-old scrapaholic from the Netherlands. I study Dutch language & linguistics in Amsterdam and when I'am not studying, I love to be creative in some way. Since primary school I have always had a creative hobby (making jewelry, 3D cards, flower arranging etc.), but after a while I always started looking for something new. That was until I was put in touch with scrapbooking. What a wonderful way to combine my love for creativity and my passion for photos. I am still hooked to creating both layouts and cards and photography has grown into a hobby too! I love to try different styles: from shabby chic & vintage to bold & colourful, though I tend to love the shabby chic/vintage style most lately. No matter what style I try, I almost always incorporate lots of layers and details in my work. I think they are my signature. I am currently designing for Bo Bunny, Once Upon a Sketch and Zeus&Zoe.
You can find more of my work on my blog: www.scrapstuffandmore.
Romy created this beautiful layout for our challenge.
Our other guest designer is Tina.
Here is what Tina had to say:
Hi, my name is Tina from the Netherlands. I love being creative. I first started sewing clothes for my daughter and working with polymer clay. A few years back I started to make cards and scrapbook layouts. Being creative is my "time of peace", after a long day. If you want to see more of my work you can visit my blog: www.tinascraftworld.blogspot.
My project for this challenge is called "a woman in the desert". The picture was taken a few years ago in Egypt, while visiting a Bedouin tribe.
Now here is what our Design Team created. To see further details of their work please click on their name to be directed to their blog.
