I live in Arizona with my husband of 33 years, our son and his four children. I have been scrapbooking since 2000 and I consider it a form of therapy. I guess you could say my style is on the clean and simple side. I'm trying to master the art of layering and embellishment clustering slowly but surely. I love photography, so I always have lots of photos on hand to work with. I love online challenge sites because there is so much inspiration and it helps me use up my ever growing scrapbook supply stash. I am honored and excited to be one of the November Guest Designers here at Scrap Our Stash.
Hi!! I am IRIT and I am from sunny ISRAEL. In my "real life" I have been a dentist, but for the last 3 years I do it as a part time job, because I need some extra time to run my Israeli online scrap shop and I am havimg a lot of fun doing something else after 25 years of dentistry. I have been married for 28 years to a retired high police officer, he is the full time family cook these days. I am a mom to 4 grown ups: 2 sons and twin daughters. The empty nest is probably the main reason for my obsession for crafting - finally I have some time for myself. My oldest son is a high army officer and recently married. The second one is " a world traveler" - for the last 4 years after his army service. He is out of Israel for at least 9 months a year. This year he lives in Spain and works there. My twins are in their second year of college and my scrapbooking inspiration. I need to say that I have been totally addicted to crafting since I was a little girl. For many years it was polymer clay and jewelry making, but after I saw a scrapbook LO for the first time in my life (only 5 years ago during my visit to USA) I understood finally that I am in love with paper. Today I mostly scrap and do altered art and some card making. I am a real challenge blog freak. I have been a guest design team member on about 7-8 challenge blogs. I also design for UK chipboard company named Tando creative, for an Australian shop named Scrap with V and I am also on SNR WEB MAGAZINE editorial staff. I was published in print in Israel several times and was published in every possible web magazine during the last year. Finally my other addiction is..... folk dancing. So if I am not in my crafting room- I am probably dancing If you want to see a bit of my work you can visit my blogMake sure you come back to see what Irit will contribute to Scrap Our Stash.
Our November Guest Designer Denise lives in Southern California, which she loves because she can wear flip flops most of the time. She is a stay at home mom to two lovely children who are the main focus of her scrapbooking. She scrapbooks layouts, cards, and home decor. You can see a fabulous Halloween banner she made with Graphic 45's Halloween in Wonderful at http://lalasworldblog.blogspot.com/2010/10/trick-or-treat.html. She keeps busy with her kids, her addiction to scrapbook challenges, managing a group that creates lifebooks for adopted children, and the occasional fluff novel. Denise submitted this layout for the October THAT Project Challenge. She said "for me my THAT project was scrapping a page about my life as a young adult. There are a couple of reasons I have put it off. The first is that I knew I would have to go through several shoeboxes to find the pictures. This actually turned out to be really enjoyable as I went down memory lane. The other is that I keep very busy with all the pictures of my children. So after I went through my boxes and found some pictures I wanted to use, I scrapped this layout.
I went crazy with my Fancy Pants rub-on and the paper is also from Fancy Pants. The blue flowers are from Prima. The vellum quote I cut up was from Quick Quotes and reads,” Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming, 'WOW! What a ride!'”
Can't wait to see what further contributions Denise will make to Scrap Our Stash. Check back regularly, there is something new posted here everyday. And don't miss our Pagerize This Challenge. See all the details in the Pagerize This Challenge below.
