Hello Everyone

Welcome to our newest Design Team member - Heike Bruhn!

I am so excited that Heike decided to join the team and really can't wait to see what she will create! ;-)

Heike is such a talented lady...

but firstly, here's a little about Heike.



My name is Heike,

I`m married to the love of my life.  He helps and supports me in everything I do, including 

my scrapbooking. I am a fulltime mom of four fantastic, beautiful, lovely kids.

I live in The Netherlands.

I love the moments in my little studio.

 Art work is my soul and my conversation over my life.I try to transfer that in my own piece of art work. 

I like to mixture different styles. I improvise and put several types of expressions in my projects.
