We've not done Featured Artist for a long time now …

Here's what Marina has to say about her love for Scrapbooking …

I’ve always loved creating beautiful things but I’ve only discovered my love for paper crafting last year in 2011 when I left my ten-year career as a brand marketer to be a stay-at-home-mum. My boy inspired me to start scrapping so I can preserve his precious growing moments. It’s so amazing how scrapping can bring memories to life and really enhance the mood of the moment.

Next to scrapping layouts, I enjoy creating cards and gifts. Some of my favourite techniques are distressing, misting and layering. I love adding flowers, pearls and glitter for that glam touch. There are endless resources and motivations out there and we can draw inspirations and ideas from anyone and anything. I believe one’s creativity is only limited by the boundaries of one’s own imagination so we should constantly challenge ourselves.

A true bibliophile at heart and a shameless foodie, when I’m not busy crafting, you will find me immersed in a book or trying out new food with the hubs.
