Today we introduce to you Karolina Stopyra - an extremely talented artist & crafter 
from Poland.  She really needs no introduction as her brand - 3rd Eye Crafts - 
is testament to her amazing creative talents!  Here she is!!

"Hello!   I'm Karolina Stopyra {aka Drycha} & I live in Warsaw, the capital of Poland.

 I have always created – drawing, painting, taking photos, etc.

 In spring 2008 I found scrapbooking & started to create albums & cards.

 With time I jumped more & more into mixed media and I just LOVE it!.

 I love to learn new techniques, experiment with new medias & bring it all together.

 I love to create a lot of things such as layouts, cards, altered art, jewellery & art dolls.

I have been featured in scrapbook & crafting magazines & am the owner & designer

 of my own Polish craft brand 3rd Eye Crafts.   We manufacture rubber stamps, 

chipboard, shadowboxes, mounting blocks, stickers, stencils & flairs. You can find me, 

my projects & mytutorials on my blog Drycha.blogspot.com & I welcome your visit!

You can subscribe to my You-Tube channel HERE.

This is what Drycha has to say about her project :-
"Riikka's inspirations is so-not-Drycha's-style but I gathered medias on my desk
 & started creating! Playing with all these layers & medias was pure fun!
 I also used white crackle paint & repeated the circle motif from the mood board.
The butterflies reminded me of the Lumiere paint in shade "Halo blue gold" which is
 SO shimmery & opalescent - from blue through greens to gold - amazing effect! 

Despite the use of many elements from Riikka's mood board - page stayed in my style :) 
You can see whole creating process (excl. putting paper scraps on the background ;) 
by watching my video. Hope you enjoy it!  Let me know what you think!!

Well I know what I think!  I think this is one of the most beautiful creations I have seen 

using this board!!  And what does it show you?!?  That NO MATTER WHAT YOUR STYLE

 you can be inspired by the Scrap Around The World boards & create with us every month!! 

 Thanks so much Drycha!!!

"Hi! My name is Sanna Lippert & I live close to Vienna in Austria, 
although I am originally from Finland.  I create mainly layouts but
 also cards &  mini-books. Playing with all kinds of media, stencils
 & colours is my  passion!   

When I'm not paper-crafting, I'm working at my day job or weaving
 rugs, socks or doing something else creative.  I can't imagine
 life without creativity!  A black pen, some small embellishments, 
stamps & mists are my constant companions.  

I create based on my mood & love all styles. I love this hobby 
& trying out new products & techniques. It is a great honour to 
be featured at Scrap Around The World - thank you Helen!"

Sanna shows how to create a beautiful Art Journal spread

 filled with LOTS of techniques.  Don't forget that we allow

double art journal spreads here at Scrap Around The World,
as well as single art journal pages if they are A4 or larger,

so why not try one next time you enter our challenges?

Sanna loves making videos & has plenty to share on her Youtube
