Meet Zanka!!!

Here is Zanka!!!

Zanka-Poland/Sweden

My name is Zaneta Glowa aka Zanka. I grew up in the south of Poland and I lived in Krakow for many years before moving over the Baltic Sea in 2003 and settling  in Sweden for good :)

Before year 2010 I knew literally nothing about scrapbooking, this was when this amazing world has opened its door to me and took me by the storm. At work I’m all fact and figures and I realized I needed a field to exercise my creativity and give vent to emotions. It’s also a way for me to slow down after a busy, fast pace day and let’s face it - make some mess ;)

I love to create when it’s calm around me, with only some music on. I’m trying to explore different expressions and styles, although I’m most often staying within a romantic, feminine stream. I love to add a mixed media touch to my works. My key discoveries during my journey so far have been: stamps, gesso and Twinkling H2Os.

Say Hello to Charlie!!

Hello Charlie!!

Charlie-Educator (Philippines)

Hello I'm Charlemagne G. Gargalicano Jr., also known as Charllie Gee or Shimmerlyscrappy. I lived in Philippines, Bacolod City.  I'm 17 years old and was born on the 3rd day of May, year 1997. I’m a young college student at LCC-B with the course of DIGITAL  ARTS

        I have always been creative and artistic.  I see art and beauty in everything. I started scrapping when I was 13 as yet another way to express my artistic vision. Since then, I have found scrapping has changed my life and given me the confidence to be myself - which can be difficult as a teen.  

       I’m a Mixed-media artist, I do paintings  and I do Video classes on my YouTube and also Ustream .I like to create projects that are more  on textures and techniques. I also DO Digital arts creating papers and wanted them to be bought by a company  but I guess ,someday the will buy it LOL!!. SO I am happy on this team and the best teams so far in my life .. SO I hope you'll see me very often in this blog :)

Meet Kimberly!!!

Another designer feature!!

Kimberly-USA

I'm so honored to be asked to be on Zeus and Zoe's design Team!  

Where to start?   I'm married to my jr high school sweetheart for 30yrs. We have three amazing boys,  two beautiful daughters in-laws, a grandson and 2 granddaughter.  My family is my world! 

I've been crafting for 7years.  I started out with a cricut then expanded myself from there,I love to alter the unexpected. 

I would consider myself a vintage Distress girl.   I love the vintage, and steampunk.

If I had to pick one color out of the crayon box and say it was me,  I'd pick red, because I have a firecracker personality. I love to make others happy and engergized. If I were a scrappy embellishment I'd be a paper clip, because I tend to hold everything together for the people in my world.

I have been blessed to be the mother of four children: Hayden (22), Austin (20), Lukas (16) and the baby girl, Naomi (14). I am also a proud auntie to my adorable niece,Vivien. 

To support my scrapping habit I work as a Quality Assurance/Staff Educator RN for a Hospice.

I am definitely a shabby chic style scrapper.I love all things vintage,tattered and worn. I like to play with Mixed Media and off the page projects as well. My family is the focus of much of my scrapping! I have been fortunate to be be published in both online and print magazines. Currently I am also on Design Teams for Swirlydoos, Berry71Bleu, Leaky Shed Studio, HeArt and Soul and Stuck on U Sketches.

I started scrapping at the suggestion of a friend,who thought I might like it.After a year or so of telling her I just didn't have time for something like that,I went to a crop and got hooked!

I am thrilled to be the Social Media Coordinator for Zeus and Zoey. Marivic has a knack for mixing the best of new and Vintage goodies! 

Here are some examples of Tracey's recent work:

Meet Tusia!!

Here's another Design Team Feature...

Meet Tusia!!

Tusia-Poland

I love all kinds of media – if I would have to define my style, I would say that media are the only constant thing. My favourite colours are fresh, bold greens, blues and pinks, but at the same time I just love delicate, pale hues of beige, rose and white. However there is something in my projects, what can be found always – a positive, feminine style.

Scrapbooking fills my whole life – it is all around me – in my private life and in my job career. I love the process of creation – I have created things since early childhood – all kinds of handmade things always attracted me. I cannot imagine my life without making some art. Even if I leave for a weekend, I always take my small “art-bag”, filled with art-journal supplies. I am lucky enough to be a designer in a few very creative places. 

I love drinking coffee, reading books, walking through the forest, watching flowers on the meadow, basking in the autumn sun and being deep in my inner world. I can say that I am happy person and wouldn’t change a single thing in my life.
