I scrap because what you see in my pages it's what I am.
I scrap because I have to express what/how I feel.
I scrap because... oh, if you could only see what's inside my head!
I scrap because it's my little corner of the world.
I scrap because I love colors and I don't know a more fun way to use them all.
I scrap because it is the form of creativity that suits me best.
I scrap because that time I almost quit.
I scrap because every time I start a new page I start a journey.
I scrap because I am obsessed with images, colors, shapes.

I scrap because it takes me back to my childhood rooms every time.
I scrap because I can access another world.
I scrap because I want to inspire.
I scrap because sometimes it is a ship that passes far away, a secret wood, a small group of houses, a flower.
I scrap because it's therapeutic.
I scrap because sometimes it takes a lot of time, sometimes time flies.
I scrap because I would like to live in one of my pages.
I scrap because maybe one day I will print my pages.
