Hi, everyone!
I'm introducing a Paper and Digital scrapbooker, a Project Lifer from Netherlands on Creo by Lady Katutz' Guests On Spotlight.
My very 7th Guest on Spotlight is a friend and my current Lady Boss at the Book of Life Project Life Scrapbooking Facebook Group. She is also a former Lady Boss at the Netherlands-based Sunny Side Up Creations where I create digital art and papercrafts to artist trading cards for her European community members. She's none other than Nanette van der Veen
I've found Nanette when I was looking or design team members for my Kaboodle Doodles Challenge Blog. I was the incumbent administrator of the UK-based challenge blog. She became my Design Team Member at Kaboodle Doodles Challenge Blog.
In turn, I also did work for her at her own all-craft-wide European challenge blog that is Sunny Side Up Creations. This is where I was able to sport and show-off my crossstitch works and baking projects as Brooches n' Crossstitches and also as Creo by Lady Katutz. I was the only Asian and Filipina in here design team as I did projects while managing my own Kaboodle Doodles and also my Filipino Scrapbookers Challenge Blog.
We later on, both worked together in introducing digital element freebies at Kaboodle Doodles facebook page. She's my lone partner in creating digital freebies to our community members. I create digital clusters, digital frames as freebies. While, Nanette creates digital images and digital project life elements.
She later on ended up with my Kaboodles Doodles as one of our challenge sponsors, as she has her own scrapbook and project life outfit in Netherlands.
She went on to host a worldwide papercrafting contest on scrapbook layouts and handmade cards. This was called the Supreme Scrap Tournament. As of this year 2015, it has been their 2nd year holding such worldwide event. Oh, I did love or dreamed of their tournament's trophy!!
Below are the prepared questions and her corresponding answers to each:
