Let's get to know a little about Kasia.

"  Hi!  My name is Kasia Bogatko.  
I'm 32 and live in Poland near the Baltic Sea. 

I started scrapbooking in 2011 when I decided to make 
Christmas cards for my family & friends.  My style has 
evolved over the years, with layouts being my first choice, 
followed by art journal pages & canvases.

My projects are rich, full of layers & various mediums.  
I love using paints, mists & acrylic modeling paste.
   I love splashing, misting & distressing papers.  
I am still learning as I love to discover new techniques
& to share my love of scrapbooking through my tutorials. 
 If you enjoy my video I would love you to visit my blog here.

Let's get to know a little bit about Pam!

"Hello!  My name is Pam Ellis & I live in Gravenhurst, Canada.
  I am a retired nurse with a supportive hubby, 5 daughters & 4 grandchildren. 
 I started scrapbooking in 2007 when my 1st grandchild was born 
but only jumped right in in 2011 when I had more time. 

My signature style is shabby chic but  recently I have been incorporating 
mixed media too & loving it!  I am a paper junkie & stash hoarder & my studio 
has been moved & made over several times due my ever expanding supplies!!  

I would love you to follow along with my creative journey by visiting
 my blog here.  I have an awesome GIVEAWAY going on at the moment 
so please come & take a peek!!

Here is our current September Mood Board, designed by 
Amy Voorthuis,that the Darkroom Door ladies used for their inspiration.

 

 Let's take a look at what they have created to inspire you today!

Belinda Spencer {Australia}

I was influenced by the soft pink & red of the books & the cog-filled love heart. 
I used a soft pink mist on my background & tore some pages from a Fairytale
 book. I used a quote from the Darkroom Door Melody Stamp Set & the 
Criss Cross Texture Stamp. Darkroom Door Hearts stamp  was used 
to create my love heart, then I layered metal cogs over the top. 
Little words were added from the Viva La Flora Wordstrip.

Rachel Greig {Australia}

I was inspired by the fairy wings & books from the mood board.

 I used the Darkroom Door Little Dreams Stamp Set that has

 an image of a lady with wings. Cogs were added using the new
 Darkroom Door Cogs Background Stamp & Steampunk Stamp Sets. 
I stamped a Jane Austen quote about books using the Darkroom Door
Scratched Alphabet Stamp Set.

Robyn Wood {Australia}

My art journal page was inspired by the soft pinks & greys of the mood board,
 the idea of fairy tales & fairy godmothers, as well as the idea that an

 inanimate object (the dress form) could come to life.

 I used the Dressmaker, Wings & French Script Background,
both from Darkroom Door of course!

Robyn Wood {Australia}

My scrapbook layout was inspired by the books & brown/grey neutral tones 
from the mood board.  I used Coffee Stain, Stone Background & 
Paint Splats stamps from Darkroom Door for my creation.

Susie Campbell {Australia}

  

Inspiration struck immediately when I saw the stunning colour

 palette of the mood board, then the gorgeous opera glasses 
carried my thoughts & heart to music, a great passion of mine! 

I used the Melody, Love Birds, Flourish Background, Wings,

 French Script Texture Stamp, Leafy Lady Line Art Stamp,
all from Darkroom Door.
