I’m a European Mixed Media Scrapbooker. My layered work is an explosion of texture, dimension and jewel tone colors.
I teach creative, out-of-the-box and mostly technique based scrapbooking and mixed media workshops. My style and classes are fresh and unique, I love to interact with my students and showing them the techniques and experiences I learned, while pushing them in a subtle way to add their own creative kick to the projects.
I am a Prima Marketing Inc. Educator since November 2007.
From September 2008 till January 2012 when the programme closed, I was a Golden Ambassador and Certified Tattered Angels Educator
Since August 2010 I’m a Faculty Member of CraftEdu an online craft university.
