Hello's and Goodbyes

Hello Everyone

I have some really exciting news...I am really pleased and thrilled to welcome Fena to our Design Team. 

Hello everyone!! My name is Farheen…my nickname is ‘Fena’. I live in New Jersey, USA(very close to Manhattan,New York City), with my husband and my 6-yr old son. I am basically a Bachelor in Engineering (in computers) by profession and into software development and testing. I am presently in India for a while...

Scrapbooking is a craft where I can blend art with photo and design, and use it for capturing all the cherished moments in a unique way. I love scrapbooking because it reflects all the passion I have for arts n crafts since childhood. It’s a passion and my creative outlet.

I love mixed media layouts creating rich textures and love to incorporate masks, paints, inks, beautiful flowers and embellishments.

I am so thrilled to be joining the whole bunch of gorgeously talented ladies here at Scrap Africa. Thanks to Denise for making me part of this fabulous DT. I would love you to visit my blog at thepapermemories.blogspot.com.

Here is some of Fena's beautiful work, to give you a little taste of what we can look forward to.

Welcome Fena and we really do look forward to seeing more of your beautiful creations! ;-)

Please pop over to Fena's blog to see more inspiration and eye candy.

We also welcome back Evgenia Petzer, who took a leave of absence.

We are thrilled that she is back and we also look forward to seeing her beautiful work again.

My name is Evgenia Petzer, I am 29 years old, a Russian girl who lives in Russia! I love to make cards, layouts and sometimes altered items. My style is more feminine, always detailed and layered. I also love photography and try to capture lots of moments of our everyday life. We have a son (who is almost 5), another baby on its way and a cute yorkie and a ginger cat.

And some random facts about me: i drink about 20 cups of green tea every day, i have a constant huge mess in my scraproom, i am addicted to sunshine.

Evgenia's work is beautiful.

Please pop over to Evgenia's blog and see her amazing work! ;-)

Then, we have some goodbyes....

Hello everyone, I am so thrilled and honored to be Guest Designer at ScrapAfrica.  Thank you so much Denise for this invitation.  My name is ‘Fena’ and I live in New Jersey, USA.  I hold a Bachelor in Engineering (in computers) and into software development and testing.  I always had that creative bent towards arts and crafts since childhood and when I saw this magical world of scrapbooking I found my creative outlet.  I love creating rich textures and love to incorporate masks, paints, mists, beautiful flowers and embellishments. I love everything from textured paper, old book pages, stamps, flowers to small glass beads in the layouts.  I still have to discover more. The sketch for the challenge was really exciting.  Hope I inspired you in some way. Thank you all for visiting.
