Video Tutorial by Anna Wisniewska {Design Team 'Moment To Shine'}

Hello fellow crafters! It's Heather McMahon back with you 

today to welcome you to another video tutorial in our 

Design Team 'Moment To Shine' series.

Today we have a bright and fun-filled winter-themed layout 

from Anna Wisniewska from Poland. Anna was inspired 

by our current challenge here.

Anna's inspiration came from the mood board's beautiful colour 
scheme of blue, grey, black & white with a pop of red 
as well as the wonderful, joyful, holiday spirit.

Let's get to know Anna a little bit better: 

"Hi everybody! My name is Anna Wisniewska. I live in 

Poland near the Baltic Sea. I fell in love with scrapbooking

 over 5 years ago & it is still my big passion. I especially love

 creating layouts - these give me the space to express my

 feelings & memories. My projects are always bright, colourful

 & full of emotions, different media & messy paint splashes.

Video tutorial by Marina Syskova {Design Team 'Moment To Shine'}

Hi everyone! It's Heather McMahon back with you today to welcome
you to another video tutorial in our Design Team 'Moment To Shine' series. 

Today we have a unique & beautiful layout by 

Marina Syskova from Russia.  

Marina was inspired by our current challenge here. We saw a sneak 

peek of Marina's layout in the mid-month reveal & now she is sharing 

a video of how she made her stunning mixed media page.

Marina was inspired by the bright colours & the strong emotions she felt from looking at the mood board. She chose to scrap a photo of herself as a child because 
children often perceive the world as bright & colourful.

Let's get to know Marina a little bit better: 

"Hello everyone! My name is Marina Syskova & I'm from Russia. I fell in love with scrapbooking about 3 years ago. My favourite style is mixed media because I feel a freedom of expression with it. In each of my projects I try to tell my story, to convey my feelings & emotions. I love layering, bright colors & accents & love to share my creativity with others. I hope my video tutorial will inspire you & help you discover something new in mixed media!

You can find my blog here, Facebook here, Instagram here, 

Pinterest here & YouTube channel here."

Marta Turska-Grochocka from Poland.  

Marta was inspired by our current challenge here.

We saw a sneak peak of Marta's art journal in the first reveal 
& now she is sharing a video of how she made her gorgeous 
project which is so full of texture & vintage loveliness.

Marta was inspired by the golden colours of the mood board, the sand & 

the text in the metal pendant. She wanted to create something about 

dreaming, discovering, exploring, travelling & about life itself.

& I like to do things my own way. I love mixed media & adore adding 
colour to my work with sprays, masking & stamping. 

My works are full of emotions, ideas & thoughts. They reveal my internal 
feelings which are sometimes romantic & peaceful & sometimes 
crazy & messy. I am very happy to be part of the amazing SATW team!
