Meet our new Design Team Members

Hello Everyone

I am so excited and thrilled to say that we have two new Design Team members! ;-)

In our Die-cuts Deslight challenge I had shown you their first projects...and now it's time to formally welcome them...

Firstly is this amazing creator Teri Reed



Hello, my name is Teri.  I live in California and I'm a Registered Nurse, the Critical Care kind by trade, but when I'm not working I'm playing in my studio, (a spare bedroom since all our children are grown and gone) creating art of all kinds. I love drawing zentangle, making cards and canavas's. I really enjoy the mixed media aspect of my craft altering and layering anything I can get my hands on. It is such a pleasure to create with the talented team of Scrap Africa. I hope you enjoy my art and will play along with us all.

Here is some of Teri's gorgeous work.

My version of Alberto's project.



Please pop over to Teri's blog to see her amazing mixed media and creativity!

Welcome to the team Teri and we really look forward to seeing all you will create! ;-)

Our second new Design Team member is Olya Chyketa.  Olya is another amazing designer and is also so talented! ;-)


Hello, dear scrap-soul-mates!
My name is Olga Chyketa (also I use my nick-name Olya-Chyk) and I'm from Ukraine. Currently I live with my family in Ireland (Galway). 

My profession is Chemistry, my current occupation is full-time mother of 5-years old dude, wife and housewife; my permanent state of soul is scrapoholic :) I'm desperately in love with scrapbooking and cardmaking in particular since 2011 and still find lots of stuff to learn. Most often I make cards, notebooks and albums. Layouts are still in my "want to learn" list. My favourite styles are romantic, shabby-chick, provence, eco and my recent passion basic mixed-media. 
I'm so happy and pleased to become a Scrap Africa DT member! Sure, we'll have lots of joy creating all together!


Here is some of Olya's eye candy.



Please pop over to Olya's blog, you are sure to find lots of inspiration!;-)


So welcome ladies and we really look forward to seeing all your beautiful creations!

Challenge no.45 - Die-Cuts Delight

Hello Everyone

We hope you had a loved and special Valentine's Day yesterday! We also hope you played along with our hearty sketch challenge! ;-)

BUT today we have a new challenge for you and it's a Die-Cut Delight.

Use Die-Cuts on your project....and show us how creative you can get with your die-cuts, whether cardboard, paper or chipboard.




Guest Designer Badge

We have an amazing Special Guest Designer for this challenge.  She is super talented and so very creative - Elena Morgun





My name is Elena Morgun.  I'm 25 years old. I live in Ukraine. I am a happy mother to 2 lovely kids.
Scrapbooking is a huge part of my life, and it is more than a hobby by now. I can not imagine my day without scrapping. I am happy to share my tips and knowledge in my tutorials.
I am constantly learning new things. I am playing with new techniques and materials all the time. I am open to the experiments and you can often see their results in my creations. One of the most distinctive characteristics of my style is that I love mixing dark grunge accents with the tender flowers and lace.

I hope you enjoy my creations!

You can also find me HERE on my blog and HERE on my Youtube Channel.

Elena created this stunning page for us.


I love the vintage feel and colouring, along with the beautiful die-cut chipboard pieces and beautiful blooms.

Love to photograph my family and trips we make, which goes well together with my biggest hobby, scrapbooking. I make all kinds of thing in my scrapcave such as LO, birthdaycards and so on. I find lots of inspiration in everyday things, photographs as well as a creative sketch :) I´m on two designteams here in Sweden and I also have my own blog. I would love it if you visit me www.vitatulpanen.wordpress.com  



I love to alter old musicrecords and hang them on the walls in our house :) Here I´ve made one with me and my husband on vacation in New York city. If you look really close you can see the statue of liberty between us ;)
