Meet the new Design Team

Hello Everyone

As you will know, we have some exciting new Design Team members and they have already started showing us their beautiful work! But I wanted to really introduce you to these lovely and creative ladies....so that you get to know them and watch out for their eye candy!

So today we take a look at these ladies, Ana Paula Cardoso, Anna Solnyshkina and Asmah Zainal Abidin.

Welcome Ana Paula Cardoso!

Name: Ana Paula Bastos Cardoso

Age: 31 years 

I am from Balneário Camboriú - SC, Brazil 

I'm married and i have a couple of Kids.

After God my family is my biggest inspiration.

I love scrapbook and your infinite possibilities of application and i work with It 2 years.

My work and my style is eclectic but I consider more Shabby chic and clean.

I don't use a lot of technique and not cling to it, I just  let my heart flow to the role and everything I do in scrapbook.

Here is some of Ana Paula's beautiful work.

Please pop over to Ana Paula's blog for some more inspiration.

Hello Anna Solnyshkina

My name is Anna Solnyshkina, I live in Moscow, Russia. 

I'm a mom of one sweet son - Misha, and I can't imagine my life without all this creative mess in my craftroom :) I create since 2012.  My passion are layouts, cards and altered art.

I work in different styles - shabby chic, vintage .. Paints and sprays my favorite craft supplies with flowers and resins, I love lots of layers and decor. My second love at this time - video tutorial.  But my big love is flowers, I use them in all my works.

my blog - http://scrapomann.blogspot.ru/

Let's have a look at some of Anna's work.

To see more of Anna's eye candy, please pop over to her blog! ;-)

Welcome Asmah Zainal Abidin

"Hi! I am Asmah from Malaysia married to a supporting husband and a mother to four blessings. Since leaving the National TV station years ago, I am able to do arts&crafts full-time from home which I am so passionate about. I love artwork, art journal, scrapbooking, making cards, altered projects, home decoration, photography besides sewing, counted cross-stitch, ribbon embroidery, beadwork and needlecraft (when time allows). I love making flowers and embellishments, creating background, experimenting and exploring, learning happy mistakes along the way ever since my love for mixed media emerges the past couple of years. My style is always shabby/vintage with lots of bulky layers {I always say the more the merrier but sometimes I also love less is more} and the next minute will dabble in my work with inks and paints which is my true forte since childhood. I've been in some design teams the past years. At present I use variety of digital images for two design teams. I also play with lots of medium as part of my commitment to a mixed media design team. And on this day I feel happy to join Scrap Africa design team, thank you Denise. Last but not least, I am blessed by the inspirations from my children who are my strength and main source to keep me going into my artistic journey which can be viewed at my blog. I love to inspire and being inspired. Thank you for your time and artsy&crafty support." 

Here is some of Asmah's super work!

Welcome ladies and we really do look forward to seeing much, much more of your gorgeous work!

Sketch no. 28

Hello Friends

It's 01st April and it's amazing how the fourth month of the year has arrived so quickly!

We have a super sketch challenge today and some amazing Guest Designers to inspire and wow you! ;-)

So without further adieu, here is the sketch.

We have some super Guest Designers today and I just know that you are going to love these projects.

Firstly, we have a really Special Guest Designer today - Missy Whidden.

I first saw Missy's work at My Mind's Eye and absolutely loved her style and flair.

I know you will love her work too!

Here's what Missy had to say.

Hi, everyone!  I'm Missy Whidden, and I live in sunny Florida.  I've been married to my awesome husband for 14 years, and we have two beautiful daughters.  When I'm not scrapping, I'm a stay-at-home Mom and a fitness instructor.  I teach Spinning and Body Pump classes at our local YMCA.  I love helping and motivating people to get in shape and feel good about themselves!  I began scrapping about eight years ago, right before the birth of our first daughter.  I helped my mother-in-law create a baby book for my husband, and I was instantly hooked.  My style has evolved over the years. 

I love getting messy with modeling paste and paints, especially watercolors.  I love patterned paper, stamping and washi tape.  My family is usually the focus of my pages.  I'm so thankful to be guest designing here at Scrap Africa today!  Thank you so much for having me!

Missy created this amazing and stunning page! I love this fun, beautiful and gorgeous page, with the super layering, accents and divinely sweet photo!

Missy provided some wonderful close-ups too. These give some insight into Missy's amazing styling!

Thanks so much Missy for this fabulous page! Please pop over to Missy's blog and see more of her amazing work! I can promise you that you will love every single project and find some inspiration in each! ;-)

For more inspiration we have some more Guest Designers to showcase this fun sketch!

These ladies were TOP 3 featured projects in previous challenges. 

First up we have an extremely talented lady, who is also such a sweet and lovely lady too -

Romy Veul. 

Romy created a soft, dreamy and elegant page! The details and layering are just so super and perfect!

Gorgeous in every way!!

Next up is Athanasia Papantoniou.

Athanasia created this delightful page.

So soft, so gorgeous and just wonderful! I soooo love the doodling and stamping and that amazing background! So fabulous!

We also have a really super and creative lady -

Asmah Zainal Abidin.

Asmah created this gorgeous and detailed page! The punched and stitched edges are just fabulous and the string weaving is such a lovely and creative touch!

The last of our Guest Designers is Stephanie Papin.

"I was inspired by the sketch, but I changed some things, I hate to create my page exactly as the sketch; example here, I must confess: I hate stars (he he he :)) so I found other large embellishments to replace the stars, of course, I chose large flowers and large labels! Also, I used a buffer negative photo / band 'to approach the sketch. I framed my picture with a small mat that I tore slightly. I tried to find two horizontal bars at the top and bottom of my page. Here's some explanation in a few words on my page! "

Stephanie created this amazing page, in her amazing and wonderful style! This mixed media page is so super and the background so fabulous!

Thanks so much to all these ladies, for their super, super pages! You all are so wonderfully talented!

But, the fun is not over yet, as we reveal the Design Team projects.
