May´s Creative Guests

Yes - you read right - this month we have not one but several Creative Guests. We invited some of the ladies that applied for our Creative Team Call to be our Guests in May! Please step by their blogs and leave some love (clic on the names).


Hello, my name is Eirini (Irene)Tsaima.I live and work as a trainer in a public school in the beautiful island of Crete in sunny Greece.I'm married to a wonderful man who tolerates and supports my new passion ... scrapbooking !!!We have two kids and their coming in our lives, made me looking into anything handmade that I could do as a new mother to keep memories alive.Somewhere there I met scrapbooking albums,lay outs and cards until I fell on mixed media ... That was !! It was love at first sight .Ever since i stuck in this style, making lay outs who express me at different phases of my life .Personally i like order and discipline in my life, but not in art.Art has no limits and barriers ... Inspired by everything in everyday life, from a photo-advertisement-music up to a walk in my garden, by the sea or at the center of my town.Glad to be a designer member this month in Words & Paintery and I hope in my turn to give inspiration to all of you.You can find me here http://renagym.blogspot.gr/ and at facebook.Love you xxx...​







My name is Laëtitia PAUCHET, trinity on the blogosphere. I’m French. I live in Dunkirk, in the North of France with my concubbin and my two boys (3 years and 1 year).

I started doing pages in 2012 further to the birth of my son but I really began at the end of 2013 during my maternity leave. Thanks to my parental leave, I have time to scrap.

My number one topic is my children. I like more particularly the mixed media and the thorough work. When I begin a page, I use systematically the gesso, neocolors II, masks...

I like having my fingers dirty with paints and mists :-D I also love to make videos and tutorials.

I have been fortunate enough to get chosen to different design teams and get published. You can find my current as well as my publications in CV Scrapbooking. You can see some examples of the workshops here.


To share this passion with other people passionated like me enchants me enormously. Thanks to “Words & Paintery” for this invitation . I adore the concept to associate a word with the color.






Thanks to Words and Paintery for the opportunity to guest this month!
My name is Lena Jonsson Stain, I call myself Scrappinstain in the blogger world and I live in Sweden. I'm a Global Project Coordinator during the day and Mixed Media enthusiast in my spare time. I have been scrapping for about 10 years. Up until last year my main focus was Layouts, quite simple ones - but since I discovered Mixed Media I am now mostly making canvases and altering stuff. I love trying new techniques and I am constantly challenging myself. I have a weakness for metal decorations, stencils, mists and pigments, love the Steampunk style and lots of flowers. I am usually inspired by a quote, by colors or by things I find in the fleemarket. Here's my blog: https://lstain.wordpress.com/
