We say goodbye to

Jenny Andersson

Thanks so much ladies for your creativity, contributions and friendship! ;-)

We, however, also welcome a Design Team member and so a warm welcome to

Christina Lampropoulou! ;-)

Here's a little about Christina! ;-)

Hello crafters!!! My name is Christina Lampropoulou and I live in beautiful, sunny Greece with my husband and my two daughters . I have been scrapping for about 4 years and my girls (5 and 3,5 years old) are often my inspiration. I mostly love creating LOS but sometimes I prefer to keep my photos in handmade mini albums. Although I started with card making , now LOS are my obsession. I adore mixed media style and I always try to pop up my photo and not to hide it with embellishements. I love having my photo as the focal point of my page. Anyway that's some information about me.I am so excited about being in this wonderful team surrounded by these talented ladies. I thank Denise for giving me this opportunity! I am looking forward to sharing my projects with you!

Here is some of Christina's fabulous work.

I am really so thrilled that Christina has joined the team and I really look forward to all the creations that she will share with us! ;-)

So pop over to Christina's blog to see more of her gorgeous inspiration and also watch this space for more of her beautiful work! ;-)

Remember to play along with our sketch challenge here.

Be back soon!

Terhi Koskinen

"Hello Scrap Africa fans, I'm Terhi Koskinen. I'm a scrapbooker, mum, full-time employee, wife, friend, sister, daughter, horsebackrider - without order of importance. But mostly I'm a paper crafter with lots of inspiration and addiction to make beautiful things.

Scrapbooking is more than a hobby for me, it's a lifestyle - it starts with photograph session and ends when I get my creation where I wanted. And then it starts again.

My creations are filled layers, straight lines, and techniques I want to try out. If using a lot of different techniques and materials makes me a mixed media artists, then I am one. My biggest passion is to make scrapbook layouts (12" x 12"), but sometimes art journal pages, canvases, cards and other. You can find my blog: http://tellimaria.blogspot.fi, welcome to visit!

This January sketch was very interesting, and I couldn't thought anything but three photos to my page. I created my background with clear gesso, water and mists. Those flowers are colored with PanPastels and mists, they were white but not anymore. I hope you get your craft mood on and hop on our board!

Thank you Denise for asking me to come here, it was a huge pleasure and honor: Thank you and big hugs!"

Terhi created this beautiful and fresh page, based on the sketch.

Just look at the colouring and the design that is so gorgeous!!! Terhi's photo's are so super and sexy too! ;-)

The blues and green's make for a cool, gorgeous and fabulous page!

Thank you so much Terhi for Guest Designing for us and creating this.

Please pop along to Terhi's blog, you will be blown away by the creativity and inspiration! ;-)

We have a second Guest Designer, who was a TOP 3 from a previous challenge,

Christina Lampropoulou

Hello crafters!
I'm Christina Lampropoulou ,32,and I am honoured to be a guest designer at Scrap Africa.. I live in my beautiful country , Greece ,with my lovely husband and my two little girls, who are my inspiration most of the times! I have been scrapping for about two years and I love creating LO's or cards....I mostly prefer mixed media and this "dirty" result but there are times that want some CAS and I try it. I also love colours and I often use pastes, gesso and sewing thread on my pages...I love trying new techniques and I have been inspired a lot from those talented ladies around the world!!!

I 'm so happy to be here and in this talented team today and I want to thank Scrap Africa for having me today as a guest designer and voted my page!!!

Sketch Challenge no.29

Hello Scrap Africa Friends

It's the 01st May and autumn is really setting in, here in Africa! The trees and their leaves are all changing colour and it's a very distinctive autumn this year! Winter looks like it will be early and we are starting to prepare for some rather cool months ahead.

But to warm up this 01st May day, we have a new sketch challenge. We would love you to play along and show us your wonderful creativity.

I am super excited to introduce you to our awesome special Guest Designer today!

I have no doubt, that you will know her and will also know her gorgeous work!

Her work is fresh, gorgeous and always full of colour and detail! She is creative and inspiring!

I have come to know her as super organised and super helpful! ;-)

So without further adieu, a warm welcome to Juliana Michaels! ;-)

BLOG: Juliana Michaels - 17turtles

My love for art and creating began at an early age thanks to my creative mother who loved to paint, sew and draw. She also loved to photograph our daily lives and kept all of our photos chronologically organized in albums. This early appreciation of art and photography helped form the base of my future love of scrapbooking and papercrafting. When I was younger, I tried nearly every craft you could imagine, including bead making, cross stitch and crochet. It wasn’t until 1997 that I finally found my true passion in paper crafts and scrapbooking, thanks to a dear friend, Carrie Anne. I can thank her for introducing me to the amazing world of scrapbooking.

Color, texture, trying new techniques and playing with new products are what I love. The products are almost always what inspire me to create whatever it is that I make, whether it be a card, a scrapbook page or an altered object/home decor item. I also get inspiration from nature, art, and home decor. You can always visit my blog (www.17turtles.com) to see my latest creations.

I have been a project designer in the paper craft and scrapbook industry since 2007 and I have been fortunate to work for many top manufacturers including: Bo Bunny, Bella Blvd, Provo Craft, and Jillibean Soup. My projects have been published in a variety of magazines and idea books and I have had projects displayed at the Craft and Hobby Association Trade Show.

When I am not creating, I am a wife to my best friend and the love of my life. I am also “momma” to our four legged children, Woody, an American Paint horse and Milo, a Golden Retriever. I have a fondness for coffee, Dr. Pepper, Mexican Food, turtles and antiquing. In my spare time I enjoy working out, cooking, gardening, and reading science fiction and historical fiction. I also work part time as a physical therapist at a local nursing home.

Juliana created this gorgeous page below! Isn't this just super cute and so special?!

Just a fresh and beautiful page!
