Creative Guest Facts



Hello!

I am honoured and excited I can present You my today’s project.
My name’s Izabela Weron,
I’m from Poland and I work as a teacher of Polish and Art.
I’m an optimist and I can’t imagine living without creating! 
I’ve been painting, sculpting and weaving since I remember.
I’ve tried many handcraft techniques but five years ago scrapbooking stole my heart! 
And especially card making.

I love sticking papers, note cards, organizers and boxes full of layers, mix media and colours.
I like scrapbooking because it gives a huge amount of creating opportunities. 
Cards and projects are created from emotions and heart. 
I’m inspired by mostly everything – colours, flowers, tastes and fragrances.
I’m still learning, advancing and trying new forms.
Apart from that, I like my paper world, cats, chocolate and books.
I love my husband, family and friends. 
I want to share with You everything which is made by myself.

The Project

Inspirational board was a real inspiration for me. 
Pink, blue and green are colours which I use in mostly every card. 
In my project you can find many colours and media such as sprays, dusts, acrylics, watercolours, gesso, embossing powder, stamps and flowers of course. 
These on my project I did by myself are made from foam FOAMIRAN.

Well - That my card J




Thank you Iza for this inspiration!

Creative Winner - Mandy Leever-Koel

Mandy was our winner in March with this wonderful project and we are so thrilled that she accepted to be our guest this month.

Creative Winner Facts


Hi everyone! It was an honor to win the March challenge and even more so to be featured here now! I'm Mandy Leever-Koel, 38 years old, married almost 11 years to my husband Pascal with whom I've been together for 20 years already. We live in the Netherlands.

We have a 3 year old son named Connor and I love being this bright, curious and naughty boy's mom.
I work part time as a dental technician, a very creative profession. I make and bake crowns and bridges. 

Creativity has always been part of my family's life. My dad is a dental technician as well who loves to fix up furniture, and my mom painted furniture, taught courses in doll making and flower arranging amongst other things. I started out by making jewellery. 

When my mother was about to turn 50 in 2004, I decided to make a scrapbook for her, about her life. (I read about scrapping somewhere and it seemed like fun!)

She loved the finished album I gave her as a present for her 50th birthday. Ironically enough, she passed away 2 years later. Who knew her life's scrapbook would end so soon :'(
Through the years I had periods in which I scrapped a lot and there were times I didn't scrap at all. Hoarding scrap supplies hardly ever halted though ;)

Since our son has been born, taking pictures of him has become a big hobby. Those new pictures can really inspire me to scrap a page!

Since the beginning of this year one of my scrap dreams has come true, when I became a Canvas Corp Brands Crew Member! Glimmermists are still one of my first scrapbook loves. They work great with the mixed media style I have come to love and try to experiment with more and more. 
Scrapping relaxes me but it's sort of a therapy too. I scrap both happy and sad times. Whatever I feel like telling.

If you want to know more about "Less is Bore!", you can find me here:

Bye bye! Happy scrapping!
