Meet Zanka!!!


Here is Zanka!!!





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!!




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!!






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.

Meet Tusia!!


Here's another Design Team Feature...

Meet Tusia!!



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.
