WINNERS = Guest Typists!!

We've got something special for you all today: your winners from prompt #27!! and yes, i said winner{S}!!! we had a tie for the page we liked the best from our words on pictures prompt. here are the winning entries:

Natalie & Lena

and so, as our Guest Typists we've asked them both to create a page for our current REPETITION prompt as even more inspiration for you all!!


My name is Natalie Elphinstone. I’m 28years old and live in Melbourne, Australia – a city which regularly experiences all 4 seasons in a day. I have a wonderfully supportive husband and two gorgeous girls aged 3 years and 4 months. In my other life I’m a doctor training in Obstetrics and Gynaecology, but at the moment I’m able to enjoy being a stay-at-home mum.
I’ve been scrapbooking for 2 years now and I quickly became obsessed after discovering the wonderful online community of scrappers. I find it hard to define my style because I like to try out everything and my design process changes all the time. However – two things remain constant; journaling and hand-made embellishments. I believe in incorporating a certain amount of writing on almost every page because I think it’s important to preserve the memories as well as the pretty products. And I love to hand make embellishments, usually out of scraps readily available on my very messy desk!
I currently design for ‘From Screen 2 Scrap’ (http://screen2scrap.blogspot.com/) and enjoy sharing my art and life on my blog http://onescrappydoctor.blogspot.com

and here is Natalie's page for our REPETITION prompt!!



now i'd like you to meet Lena!


I’m Lena Schreijenberg and I’m 48 years old. Since my divorce I live with my two children, Carmen (13) and Liam (12), in a small village in the South-West of the Netherlands. The two cats, Harley and Emmy, make our family complete.

I work for three days a week at the courthouse in Middelburg. That’s an office job but in my spare time I just love to create!! That “creating” is something I was born with I guess. As long as I can remember I am always busy to create things. As a little kid I made drawings, knitted and sewed dolls clothes, made cushins for my room…. Now I’m a qualified seamstress and I have made many clothes for myself and my kids. A few years ago I began painting (including this selfportret) and at the moment I’m totally addicted to scrapping!! Just a few weeks ago I took part in a workshop about art journaling and I loved it!! So I guess my latest work is a bit of a mix of scrapping and art journaling.

and this is Lena's page she created for our current prompt!!

Larissa Albernaz

My name is Larissa Albernaz. I´m 38 years old. I live in Brazil, in a city called Sao Jose dos Campos, state of Sao Paulo. I´m married and I have a 7 year old daughter, Isabela (a.k.a Bebel).

I have been scrap booking for almost five years and I´m totally addicted which means I see artistic possibilities over everything around me. Every day, I enjoy perceiving the colors in my surroundings and I pay close attention to my inner emotions, even if it’s to throw them out only on a layout.

Along the years, scrapbook has provided me a great sort of artistic possibilities. In fact, I can still learn some new techniques everyday and it provides me to express myself in style, mixing paper, embellishments, colors, memories and a message. So, scrap booking to me is not only a way to preserve my memories but, it's the way I do Art.

In my Art I pursue something that has sense to me, which inspires me and that can be different, interesting, cute, creative, colorful and fun! My style is eclectic, crafty. I also love shabby and vintage styles, anything that has a great dimension. Larissa's Blog: http://lariscrap.blogspot.com/

Love that Larissa!! Thank you so much for participating along with our prompt, I am sure you have encouraged a few people to play along.

Here is what a few of the Typists have come up with:
