My journaling :
I discovered scrapbooking, one day by chance, while passing in a small street in the city center where ascrapbooking store had just opened.
I immediately fell in love with this hobby whichallowed me to combine my two passions: photographyand creative hobbies. Since I was very young, I love art. I studied at the School of Beaux-Arts, to become a graphic designer.
I did paper scrapbooking and then digital scrapbooking. In 2013 I joined the CT of PinkReptile Designs which gave me a place as a hybrid designer.
This allowed me to continue both digital and paper.
At the beginning I was making scrapbooking for the pleasure of art,materials, textures and colors.I saw scrapbooking as an artistic form of expression. With the birth of my children, scrapbooking became a memory keeper. For several years, I have been doing aproject life where I record the little moments of daily life.
I love making scrapbooking paper albums. I did paper scrapbooking and then digital scrapbooking. In 2013 I joined the CT of Pink Reptile Designs which gave me a place as a hybrid designer. This allowed me to continue both digital and paper.

I love to make scrapbooking paper albums.
The children enjoy looking at these decorated albums. It's a way for me to tell them how much I love to live with them and leave them memories of me for when I'm gone.
I went back to my first artworks by creating in January 2020 a hybrid scrapbooking newspaper art and a junk newspaper. I like to decorate, combine papers, colors with paint and mix media, without necessarily having photos. Just the pleasure of getting my fingers dirty and creating.
This year I lost my mother to cancer. Scrapbooking has become a scrap therapy where I manage to deposit by creating all the emotions that go through me.
Art in general and more particulary scrapbooking are an essential place in my life, I can't live without create.
