CAROLINA SYVERTSEN...
My name is Carolina, Im still in my 20`s. I were born in Poland,
but I have lived most of my life in Norway, where I live with my
beautiful son and boyfriend. I have a full time job and two hobbies:
Papercraft and growing vegetables.
I have always made something more out of my photo albums, but I
didnt discover "the real" scrapbooking before 2005. I have had some
timeouts where I Havent created anything since then, but I know I will
never give this up, I simply love everything about
it.
I love to work with kraft, and especially with bright colors, like
this months challenge. The picture is of my son and my mother, and it
just shows how crazy they (read: we) get sometimes. I`ve had lot of fun
making it.
SANNA LIPPERT...
Hi! My name is Sanna Lippert and I have been living close to Vienna,
Austria for the past 14 years now with my half Greek, half Austrian
husband and two boys aged 12 and 9.
I´m originally from Finland. I have
been a paper lover since I was a very little girl. I used to draw and do
crafting for hours and hours. All my drawers were full of drawings and
other "creations". After my son´s were born I wanted to create baby
albums for them and then discovered the term scrapbooking for me and I
have been addicted ever since.
I had been creating my photo albums
before that already, just didn´t know that it was called scrapbooking. I
mainly do layouts in different sizes but also like to make cards and
minibooks.
When I´m not scrapbooking, I´m either working at my day job
or weaving rugs, socks or something else. Other than that I love to take
photos – no way I´m going to be able to scrap all of them in my
lifetime :). My recent passion has been decorating our new house,
gardening and cooking. I cannot image life without being creative. I
usually like creating laoyuts with white space on them. Black pen, small
embellishments, stamps and mists are also a constant companion.
My
pages are either totally colorful or in natural colors. No particular
style I like most, I usually go with my gut feeling and since I have two
boys, you will not find that many flowers on my layouts. I love this
hobby and love trying out new products and techniques. There´s so much
to discover and to learn with inspiration everywhere!
PAULA PERRY...
"Hello, my name is Paula Perry & I've been a huge fan of the 'KIU
Challenge Blog' since it's beginning...
I simply love working with kraft!
Scrapping has been a part of my life since about 2003 & I believe
it will always be. My inspiration comes mainly from my family, I'm
blessed with a very accepting husband & 3 gorgeous children.
I love
photography & documenting all parts of our life...the good, bad
& the wonderful!
It's amazing to see how much my style has changed
& developed over the years...haha for that, I'm very thankful ;)
My
wish is to create more time to really experiment with various products.
I
love working with mists, masks & stamping, though who can go past
all the gorgeous patterned papers out there!"
RAQUEL BOWMAN...
Hi,
my name is Raquel, I'm 28, a primary school teacher and I live in
Geelong, Victoria. I have a gorgeous hubby and have recently had a
little baby girl, named Charlotte, in October.
I LOVE to scrap
and my favourite part about scrapping is not only the gorgeous products
but also the fantastic online community that I have found since I
started scrapping. My love of Scrapbooking has also inspired me to start
my own Kit Club 'A Piece of Cake Designs'.
Currently
I design for the Scrapbook Magazine in the UK. I have been published in
Scrapbook Magazine, Scrapbook Creations, Scrapbooking Memories,
Creating Keepsakes (aussie edition), Somerset Memories and Entreartists
Magazine (France). I really enjoy joining in on the challenges on
Scrapbooking Challenge blog sites.
My
favourite things to scrap are the things that mean the most to me –
those special people in my life who I adore! My boy, my friends, my
family and more recently my little girl, feature the most on my pages. I
don’t quite have a word to define my style, however, I love
coordinating different brands and mixing and creating my own colour
combinations - and layering and clustering seems to feature on pretty
much all of my pages too.
CHANTALLE McDANIEL
Originally from South Africa, my hubby and I moved to Brisbane,
from London in 2008. With a background in Graphic Design, I recently
discovered the world of Scrapbooking. I have two little ones, aged 6 and
2, whose crazy everyday antics, provide most of my scrapping
inspiration! I try to convey a sense of fun in my layouts and am
currently quite enjoying a bit of hidden journaling.
I love the smell of paper and coffee and colour and typography, photography and good times shared with friends.
I
enjoy participating in challenges and have had a couple of my layouts
featured on Craft Gossip and Heidi Swapp's Facebook page. I also upload
examples of my work to 2Peas, where I was lucky enough to recently have
one of my layouts, 'Slurpee Tongue' , highlighted as a Featured Project!
Here is the link to my member gallery:

I
have a few layouts as well as a challenge waiting for publication in
Scrapbooking Memories magazine and was recently given the opportunity to
be on the Once Upon a Sketch Design Team. I am also working on posting
to Instagram and Pinterest a bit more.
ANN-CHRISTIN...
My
name is Ann-Christin, but most of my scrapping friends just call me
Lula:)
Norway is my home, born, raised, found love, got married, had two
kids and are HAPPY! When I first started scrapping back in 2007, I
almost just did kraft. And then I found this cool blog and you have so
many different challenges!
I love how the kraft brings out the colors
and the pictures at the same time. I am a kindergartenteacher and i just
think my job is the best! To work with children and give them everythin
that I value (humor, stability, strenght, honesty and so much more)
means the world to me;)
Most of all its my daughter Luna and my son
Ludvik who I use in my layouts, but friends/family is also fun to scrap!
I am very outgoing, love to work in a team and laugh alot!
AMANDA HALL...
HEATHER JACOB...
Hi there, my name
is HEATHER JACOB.
Firstly I am so
honoured and delighted to be included in the Kraft It Up team for 2013
I am happily married to my wonderful,
supportive “soul mate” Baden. My Family feature throughout my work and there is
nothing more important to me than my family.
I discovered
scrapbooking in 2003 and to me this craft is the perfect combination of art,
photography, beautiful paper, and glorious words.
I especially love
to choose some elements, cast a spell and see what happens, to create a dream
and follow it through. Subtle shadows, light and color are all ingredients for
casting the spell. I am in harmony with my garden and its inhabitants,
connecting with the beauty that surrounds me. For me it is all-consuming,
inspiring and a natural expression of my inner self, which I love to weave into
my works.
I am inspired by
colour and texture … I love to include stitching, chipboard, journaling,
muslin, fabrics, metal elements, inking, masking and texture paste.
Off the page
projects and altered art are a fave of mine. I see my style as “CLASSIC” with layering
and attention to detail…I tend to lean toward monochromatic themes with a
little shabby chic/grunge thrown in .. I feel very lucky to be on a number of
design teams and I have work published in Scrapbooking Memories, Scrapbook
Creations, Australian Scrapbook Ideas.
Warm hugz from
