Riikka Kovasin of Finland!!

Hello! I'm so thrilled & excited to join the amazing team of Scrap Around the World!

 I'm Riikka Kovasin - a Finnish mixed media style scrapbooker.

I'm happiest when I can combine my love of beautiful products with a chance to get messy!

 I live in Helsinki, the capital of Finland, with my husband & our two daughters.

My family is a constant source of inspiration & our 

daily life is the subject of many of my pages.

 I also love to create mini-albums, cards & canvases.

If you like my work you can see more from me on my blog HERE.

 & follow my other channels here:- Facebook, Twitter and YouTube.
I am so thankful to be part of the new team at Scrap Around The World!!

Don't forget you can enter our challenges with a double-page too!!

Riikka has been helping out behind the scenes for the last month & even managed
 to create a layout using our CURRENT MOOD BOARD for September - impressive!

Kim Ewins of Australia!!

Kim is joining us not only as an Ambassador but also as our 
Guest Design Team Co-ordinator
& will be responsible for compiling & publishing our Guest Design Team posts to our blog.

Hi! My name is Kim Ewins & I live in a city called Orange, 
 which is a 3-4 hour drive west of Sydney, Australia.

My husband, Roy and I have 8, (yep! 8!!) wonderful children together. 

They range in age from 23 down to 6 years of age, (5 sons & 3 daughters.) 

We recently found out we are to be grandparents early next year,
so that is very exciting……oh! The photos!!!

 I started scrapbooking about 6 months after the birth of my
last child in 2006 & now wish I had started so much earlier. 

 I am on four other amazing Design Teams:-

www.craftqueen.com.au,  www.scrapmatts.com
 {our 2013/14 permanent sponsor - woo hoo!!}

www.scraptheboys.blogspot.com.au &  www.orangepaperieandco.blogspot.com.

My style is along the grungy, shabby chic lines but I love to try new things & mix it up!
I love  working with neutrals & pastels & lately I have
started venturing into water colouring on my layouts.
I love texture, buttons, lace trim, machine stitching & tea dyed canvas. 

A huge THANK YOU to Helen for this wonderful opportunity - I am so excited to be here!
I would love for you to check out my blog HERE & join as a follower if you like my style!!

Here are some of Kim's beautiful layouts...

And here is Kim's interpretation of our CURRENT MOOD BOARD for September!

Carla Marchee of The Netherlands!!

Carla is joining us as our ART JOURNALLER!
So she will be inspiring you with a DOUBLE-PAGE SPREAD each month!!
 {yes you can enter with a double-page art journal spread too as long as 
it is a minimum single page size of 14 x 19cm (5.5 x 7.5 inches) per page}.

Hi!  My name is Carla Marchee!!
 I started scrapbooking seven years ago after discovering it online! 
I fell in love immediately & have always loved working
 with photographs, capturing life's beautiful moments.   
I am inspired everyday by my amazing children {two boys!!}
First came Scrapbooking then came Mixed Media & now I am EVEN MORE in love!
I have always had a passion for Art & beautiful things...now I get to combine
 them both together & I am happiest when I am doing so & love this hobby!!
Art Journalling provides me with the freedom to express my inner voice & I love
 to create art journal spreads, altered books & canvases as well as layouts.
I am so excited & honoured to have recently been invited by Helen
 to join her exciting new challenge blog as she discovered that I was
 looking for a new & exciting journey for my scrapbooking life.
I hope to inspire you & ignite your creative fires!!
