She was a self-made cartoonist, loved drawing, crafting,

We have the ever-energetic Limor Webber 

Guest Judging for us on behalf of LSG!

I am a Mixed Media artist, a mom to 2 beautiful daughters & have a husband

 that is beyond supportive of my passion & my work. I am an Educator for several 

manufacturers in both the Crafting & Arts industry - such as Faber Castell

Design Memory Craft, Lindy’s Stamp Gang, Prima Marketing Inc & FabScraps. 

My classes are primarily focused on discovery of mediums & techniques both

 in the Mixed Media world & Scrapbooking/Crafting. I am a technique Junkie 

which always takes me to a road of discovery myself,  which in turn I provide to

 my students. My passion is teaching but more importantly it is my mission in

 live to enliven others & allow them to discover their hidden talents.

 I love watching my students find their new self expression in a piece of art 

especially when at the beginning they feel constrained. I have the privilege

 to travel around the world to share my passion!

"Hi everyone! I am the Founder & Owner of Flying Unicorn - an online

 store for us artists with a brick and mortar showroom in South Florida. 

 I am a single mom with one child – maybe he is not a child anymore at

 the age of 17 – but still the child! 

 I found a passion for scrapbooking in 2008 & went crazy with all the stickers

 that were available to enhance a page & never looked back!  I would say my

 style has grown into shabby chic with a vintage flair,  with lots & lots of flowers

 &  pink of course! 

I enjoy creating layouts, card, tags, altered and mini albums – I am not set in what

 to create as long as I create. Scrapbooking is a passion that is required

 in my daily life. You can find more of me on www.flyingunicornblog.com.
