Katya Ivanova
Katya is oroginally from Russia and she has been living in Iralnd for 12 years. Katya had tried many hobbies before cardmaking and scrapbooking biut nothing had caught her as much as scrapbooking. She has been crafting for over a year now. Katya’s style is quiet feminine, she uses a lot of flowers, pearls and lace.
She also likes to use stamping techniques and embossing. Katya couldn’t imagine her life without her Cuttlebug and sewing machine. Recycling and using non scrapping materials is part of her everyday crafting as mush as using traditional scrapbooking materials. Over the last year and a bit she has won several challenges and has been a part of Tuesday Alchemy DT too.

Abby Henderson
Abby has been “playing with paper” for 17+ years, she started after her son was born and since then it is an ever growing passion. Abby initially began with making just 12×12 layouts and filling up tons of scrapbook albums and mini brag books for the grandparents, things like that. In addition to making LO’s, she also enjoys making cards, mini albums (made from various materials, paper bags, canvas etc.) tags, altered art items, paper flowers…pretty much anything you can think of : ) Abby has a very unique style, she loves to use a mix of new scrappy/craft items along with vintage & up cycled items. Abby loves being able to mix in “non-traditional” crafting items into her projects, it’s a creative way to incorporate different textures and layers which is something she loves to do in her crafting.
