Nupur Patel of India, as our Guest Designer!

"I am Nupur Patel from Mumbai, India.  I am 22 years old & I live with my
 loving & caring parents & my sweet little sister.  I have been crafting 
since my early school years where I developed a love for art & craft. 

Playing with various colors, mediums & elements opened led to a world
 of Mixed Media, Photography & Graphic Design.  After learning & exploring
 handicrafts, I stepped into the digital world which led to a career in Graphic Design.

 As a Graphic Design graduate I've started scrapbooking to unleash my creativity
 & reach new horizons.  Traveling, capturing & trapping memories inspire me
to scrapbook.  I love the world of scrapbooking that I have discovered as 
there is so much to learn & explore & so many new people to meet!

Hello to you all!

Please view our current challenge HERE & our

2nd reveal based on the same challenge HERE.

Today we welcome back the winner of our June 2014 Challenge,

Brandi Matos of the USA, as our Guest Designer!  

My name is Brandi Matos &  I am just another obsessed scrapper

 in the world of paper crafting!  I live in Florida, USA, also known as

 “The Sunshine State”, with my two beautiful girls & amazing

 husband. I run a small business from home selling invitations

 for a variety of events & thoroughly enjoy what I do!

  I literally stumbled across scrapbooking a little over two years ago

 & completely fell in love with it! From layouts, cards, to Off-

 the-Page projects, I enjoy it all!  I love to get messy playing with 

different mediums to make something truly fabulous!

 Although most of my work revolves around my two girls & is pretty

 "girly", I don't really have a set "style".  I am still very new to this

 hobby & enjoy trying a little bit of everything!   If I see it & like it - 

  I try it! It's that simple!  Please feel free to visit my blog *HERE* 

 

Brandi has used our current mood board {above} HERE for her inspiration.

Brandi has created such, eye-catching background texture & the 

soft colors work so beautifully with her sweet photo!

The chipboard sentiment adds a touch 
of elegance & is beautifully done!

I adore Brandi's layers & enchanting elements!

Thank you so much Brandi for creating such a very
 PRETTY page for us at Scrap Around The World!

Hello everyone :)  Please view our current challenge HERE 
& our 2nd reveal based on the same challenge HERE.

   Today we welcome back the winner of our May Epic Anniversary Event 2014 
 {NEW Category} Funiaa of Poland, as our Guest Designer!

"My name is Asia however in the scrap world I use my nickname Funiaa. I live in Poland.
Since I can remember I've always liked beautiful things.  I always loved to make things
  but was never passionate until a friend  introduced me to scrapbooking.  Soon I was 
seduced by it & always on the look out for new trinkets I can use & collect.

  

 In the scrap world I feel like a little girl. I watch, touch, look & am charmed 
by the magical world of paper & how I can manipulate it into 3D forms.
  I love to scrap as it is a wonderful escape from the daily monotony of life.  
Scrapbooking gives me the ability to express emotions that cannot be put into words.  

  I am so excited to have the opportunity  to be a Guest Designer for Scrap Around the World! 
Thank you so much!"  You can find my blog * HERE *

Hello! My name is Fiona. I live in a small country town in South Australia.

"Hi everyone!   My name is Tanya, but my online name is Tanita.

 I’m 19 years old & live in the little city of Angarsk (Siberia) in Russia.

I've just finished school & soon I will be furthering my studies.

I love to tell my stories through layouts & mini-albums ~ to express my feelings & emotions.

At the moment I am experimenting with mixed-media, steampunk & grunge. 
My  inspiration comes from my boyfriend, my friends, my family.  

Scrapbooking is my therapy & makes my world better, brighter & happier ~

 Tanita has used our current mood board for inspiration.

I love the touches of yellow Tanita has used

 {inspired by the gold in the flower-pot image}.

Just look at all those luscious layers!!  I can count ELEVEN!!!

Yet Tanita's layout is not at all bulky.  Very clever!

Such a wonderful photo too.  

Tanita sure knows how to capture the

 essence of our mood boards doesn't she?

Thank you so much Tanita for creating this wonderful 
page especially for Scrap Around The World!
