Last month we welcomed Lydie Denis aka Lilibleu to our team
 here at SATW.  This month say HELLO to another exciting new
 team member, Jaya Raghuvanshi from India!



Let's hear from Jaya herself...

Hello everyone!
My name is Jaya Raghuvanshi & I am from India. 
I am 27 years old & a Dental Surgeon by profession. 
Crafting ,painting & pencil sketching have been my hobbies since childhood. 

I discovered paper crafts in 2012 & have been hooked since then! 
I started with scrapbooking & making layouts only recently
{ around April this year} & find them really exciting & challenging!!  

My style is a 'mixed bag' & I love to try anything new that comes my way .
 I am so thankful for the opportunity to share my work with you here at SATW.   
You can find my blog HERE & I would love a visit :)

Jaya was one of our Featured Players last month, creating this stunning piece!


 Jaya is definitely a star on the rise in the world of Mixed Media Scrapbooking
 & as such a perfect addition to our team!  

Please join me in welcoming Jaya into the SATW fold!
