Hello there! I’m Soraya Maes from Southern France and I’m very excited to be part of the summer weekend guests here for the lovely Els! I’m a scrapper for more than 8 years now, love everything free and inky, romantic and delicate, urban and dynamic! I guess I don’t have any particular style since I love to discover different technics and styles through the scrappy world 🙂 Oh! And I loooove journaling too, which take a big part in every project I make^^

I am a mother of two adorable kids Melina and Riyad who are my favorite subjects^^ I am married to my first love I knew 15 years ago, whe’re about to celebrate our 7th year of marriage, and I realize I haven’t made any album of this fabulous day yet! haha!

I work for several amazing DT like the french magazine EntreArtistes, OhDeerMeKit by FreckledFawn, ScrapKits&Co (a french kit club) and Pause Creative (stencils and wood stuff). I am very happy with my scrappy life and the great opportunities we have to meet fantastic people all over the world!

WHERE I FIND INSPIRATION | I found inspiration above all in my everyday life, beside I like to visit Pinterest and discovering lots of new trends

WHERE I CREATE | I have the chance to own a little room just for me and my scrappy stuff so it’s a pleasure to stay long hours creating and preparing new projects.

SCRAPBOOKING ON VACATION | yes! scrapbooking at everytime of the year, this is a way of life for me so when I need to create, I just let it go

So here I am today to show you a layout I made with an inky background with watercolors, high color pigments Izink from Aladine, stamps and splashes.

ThisIsLove-1

First of all, I used a plastic bag to put my blue ink on the page by blending a drop of blue pigment and water then putting the mixture in the center of page using the plastic bag. Then I stamped different words and shapes with various colors all around this “center”.

Once done, I placed my photo and added some papers and embellies like diecuts, butterflies and puffy stickers.

Then, I used a watercolor yellow to add light touches here and there!

Finally, I splashed some black ColorShine for the contrast.

And tadaaa! It didn’t take me much time to make it, since I always process like this: background / photo / embellies
