Hello dear friends!
So excited to share my first Design Team project as a Graphic 45
Brand Ambassador. I was asked to create a project that reflects me as an
artist using my favorite paper medium and go-to technique!
Brand Ambassador. I was asked to create a project that reflects me as an
artist using my favorite paper medium and go-to technique!
I decided to make an off the page project...
(for those who know me...know this is what I LOVE to do!)
I have decided to combine one of my favorites Portrait of a Lady Collection with (for those who know me...know this is what I LOVE to do!)
Botanical Tea DCE. I looooove pink and the colours in Botanical Tea were a
perfect match to the green and gold in Portrait of a Lady.
My favorite paper medium is black cardstock and go-to technique would be
chipboard pieces embossed and die cuts for layering!
But first an Introduction...
G45 Supplies used:
My name is Tanya Cloete (aka Tanya Scrap).
I live in Pretoria, South Africa. Pretoria is the administrative capital of
South Africa and is also known as 'Jacaranda City' for its thousands
of Jacaranda trees - Wikipedia. Cannot picture this city without those pretty little
purple flowers! I am what you would call an avid scrapper.I spent most of my
time crafting away in my little piece of heaven, my happy place.
This all started about 7 years ago seeking a hobby to keep me busy.

I have always loved making crafty things as far as I can remember
but never imagined that scrapbooking/paper crafting would develop
into such a passion.I still love every single moment of my crafty journey!
I enjoy creating Single Page Layouts, Mini Albums, Mixed Media pieces,
