New Design Team and Guest Design Teams announcement

Witajcie kochani:) Dziękuję wszystkim, którzy przesłali swoje zgłoszenia, poświęcili czas na przedstawienie siebie i swojej twórczości.  Chyba możecie sobie wyobrazić jak trudno wybrać kilka osób spośród kilkudziesięciu zgłoszeń. Zgłosiły się do nas osoby z całego świata, osoby niezwykle uzdolnione, znane i mniej znane, ale wszystkie naprawdę wspaniałe. Dziękuję Wam z całego serca za chęć podjęcia współpracy z nami.

Hello:) At the beginning I want to say thank you to all who sent their applications, you put a lot of time and heart to show us yourself and your artwork. You can imagine how hard is was to choose only few designers from several dozens of talented applicants - amazing people have applied and I want to thank you with all my heart for that, so many wonderful people want to cooperate with us and this is really an honor.

Już niedługo pożegnamy kilka CUDOWNYCH osób, które współtworzyły 13 arts przez ostatnie miesiące, ale na pożegnanie i podziękowania przyjdzie jeszcze czas. Dziś poznamy nowy skład naszego zespołu. Zobaczycie kilka znajomych i kilka nowych twarzy - począwszy od listopada, 13 kobiet (wraz ze mną) będzie współtworzyć to miejsce. Będzie jeszcze więcej inspiracji, jeszcze więcej kursów i jeszcze więcej gości:)

Soon we will say goodbye to some AMAZING designers who were here with us for past months, but it is not that time today, we will soon thank them for all their hard work. Today we will reveal our new Design Team - you will see some familiar and some new faces.  Starting November, 13 women (including me) will be creating this place and you will see even more inspirations, more tutorials and more guests here:) 

Powitajmy nowy zespół 13 arts:
Please welcome new 13 arts Design Team:



Poland

Scrapbooking i techniki mixed media stały się od prawie 3 lat moją największą pasją. Obecnie najbardziej lubię tworzyć scrapy (LO 30x30) i mediowe prace na płótnie, ale i mniejsze formy sprawiają mi dużo radości. Marka 13 arts czyli autorskie kolekcje papierów, farby, tusze i inne media oraz oryginalne dodatki są odzwierciedleniem moich pasji i ulubionych technik - teksturowe tła, przenikające się kolory i chlapania.  Wraz z fantastycznym zespołem, który przedstawiam poniżej będziemy Was inspirować i zachęcać do tworzenia przy użyciu naszych produktów:)

I fell in love with scrapbooking and mixed media almost 3 years ago. I create layouts and mixed media on canvas mostly, but I do like smaller projects too. I created 13 arts brand as a reflection of my passion and my favorite techniques - textured backgrounds, diffused colors and splashes.  13 arts provides original paper designs, embellishments, paints, inks, mists and other mediums. Together with my fabulous team we will inspire you and show you what you can create with our products:)


Poland/Canada

I remember that I used to be a lawyer, but now I’m bothering my head about more important things. Together with my husband – I’m still dating him – we’re taking care of our two treasures – a Girl and a Boy. I love travelling, taking photos, old books and pictures, opening new stamps, praising people for their talent and creativity and meeting with other nice ladies at the cup of coffee. I like pastels and intense colors as well. Even I admire monochromatic works! Usually, after making a dark work I turn myself to delicate LO and then again I use black paper in the next work… I design my favorite 12×12 layouts  for several websites and producers. I like to add touch of Mixed Media to my work, I also create with canvas.  I don’t stick to one particular style. I collect laces and small doilies and recently also wooden frames and boxes. There’re lots of ideas how to use them in my head. I hope I can use some of them while creating for 13 arts.

Poland

Mam na imię Kaśka, w blogowym świecie - Pasja Kati. Niepoprawna romantyczka z wrażliwą duszą artysty i głową pełną pomysłów. Moja przygoda ze scrapbookingiem zaczęła się ponad 2 lata temu, ale mam wrażenie, że scrapuję od zawsze i do tego zostałam stworzona. Na samym początku ukochałam sobie styl vintage. Teraz coraz częściej robię sobie małe skoki w bok w inne style. Inspiruje mnie wszystko. Czasami są to papiery,wszelkiego rodzaju nowe dodatki czy też zdjęcia. Nie lubię robić czegoś na siłę. Praca musi powstać spontanicznie, bym była z niej zadowolona. Moje prace są raczej stonowane, bez żadnych kolorystycznych wariacji i dużych kontrastów. Obowiązkowo muszą się na nich znaleźć kwiaty, które sama robię, trochę tuszowań i szarpań. Przede wszystkim kartkuję, ale także bardzo lubię zamykać wspomnienia w albumach, alterowanych przedmiotach, scrapach czy wpisach do art journala. Ostatnio namiętnie używam mediów 13 arts.

My name is Kasia, I also use a nickname Pasja Kati.  I am romantic, sensitive, artistic soul and I've got head full of ideas. My adventure with scrapbooking began a little over two years ago, but I feel that I've been scrapping forever and for that I was created. I love vintage style, but I try other styles, more and more, now.Everything inspires me: scrapbook papers, all kinds of new embellishments or photos. My art work must be created spontaneously. My projects are subdued, with no color variation and high contrasts. I love handmade flowers and I use them in my artwork, I love distressing  and use mediums. I make cards mostly, but I also really like the closing memories in albums, altered art  other projects such as layouts and art journals. I passionately use 13 arts mediums lately.

Greece


My name is Vicky Varvadouka, I am a happily married mum of two little girls (Nefeli 6 & Ioli 4) and I work in a big company in Greece. Scrapbooking is my passion and a way to express myself! I love the feeling of freedom every time I scrap! It is an emotional outlet and a routine getaway! I love it because I leave a legacy and a piece of my self to my children! I started making layouts in September 2010 and have been obsessed ever since. My kids are the main source of inspiration for my work and the primary subjects of my layouts. I am a person who loves to experiment with anything new so my styles keeps evolving!! I feel really blessed to be part of this amazing team!!!

Poland

Nazywam się Dorota Dołęga, pochodzę z Polski. Jestem mamą dwójki dzieciaków, miłośniczką kawy, wspinaczki i dobrej poezji. W dzieciństwie chciałam zostać malarką, ale mi nie wyszło. Rękodziełem zajmuję się od kilku lat, próbowałam różnych dziedzin, ale w końcu papierowa twórczość pochłonęła mnie całkowicie. Ostatnio najchętniej robię LO i wypełniam strony swojego art journala. Inspirują mnie fotografię, kolory, faktury. Uwielbiam swobodę i nieograniczone możliwości, jakie daje praca z mediami. Cieszę się, że mogłam dołączyć do DT mojej ulubionej marki i mam nadzieję, że uda mi się zarazić was moim entuzjazmem dla produktów 13arts!

My name is Doroda Dołęga, I come from Poland. I'm a mother of two wonderful children, a big fan of coffee, rock climbing and good poetry. When I was small, I wanted to be a painter, but this dream never came true... For about three years I've been trying different crafts, but then I've fallen in love with paper and paint. Recently I'm focused on layouts and art journaling. I'm inspired by photographs, colors, textures. I love mixed media techniques, because it gives me a lot of freedom. I'm glad to be on 13arts DT and I hope I'll share with you my love for these products!

Poland

Mam na imię Ania, natomiast w wirtualnym świecie znana jestem jako Lakuna. Kilka lat temu odkryłam, że tworzenie kartek i innych papierowych projektów sprawia mi olbrzymią przyjemność. Zaczęłam się więc dzielić efektami swojej radości na blogu: http://papiermania.blogspot.com/. Dzięki swojemu hobby nie tylko wypełniłam tęsknotę za jakąś własną niszą, ale również poznałam wiele wspaniałych osób. Jedną z nich jest z pewnością Ayeeda, której bardzo dziękuję za możliwość dalszego inspirowania w jej niezwykle utalentowanym zespole.

My name is Anna, but in the virtual world I am commonly known by the nickname Lakuna. I discovered scrapbooking a few years ago and it has been giving me a lot of joy and pleasure. To share my paper lovestory and creations with others I decided to start a blog: http://papiermania.blogspot.com/. Thanks to my hobby not only have I fulfilled longing for something, but I have also met a lot of really wonderful people. Definitely one of the persons is Ayeeda. I would like to thank her for having me in her very talented design team.


Australia

My name is Nadia Cannizzo, and I was born and raised in Greece before settling in Sydney , Australia in 1989. I just turned 35, and married my husband almost 15 years ago . Together we live in the suburbs of Sydney raising our 3 daughters aged 7, 5 and 4 months, while trying to stay sane...
I am a primary school teacher and absolutely love my work, but my career is on hold while I raise my children. I create something every day, and I am like a child on Christmas morning when a parcel arrives at the door :) NOTHING beats that feeling LOL
I create depending on how I feel that day and my personality and mood are clearly reflected on my work.  I am an obsessive compulsive neat freak that cannot get the day started or sit down to scrap until the housework is done and I am impulsive by nature, extremely loyal, obsessed with my children, super sensitive, a lover of movies and cooking, a wannabe world traveller (I have a long bucket list!), a people lover, and extremely passionate about little children and their well being. My motto in life is "Nothing Is Impossible" and I do not take no for an answer.

Poland

Scrapbookingiem zajmuję się od ponad dwóch lat. Jest to dla mnie najlepszy sposób na relaks, na odpoczynek po ciężkim dniu. W tej chwili moją największą miłością są media, cały czas się ich uczę i staram się pokazywać w swoich pracach ich rożne oblicza. Moimi ulubionymi formami są LO, blejtramy, a ostatnio nawet art-journal. Jestem bardzo szczęśliwa, że jestem częścią tak inspirującego i barwnego zespołu.

I am a scrapbooker since over 2 years. For me it is the best way to relax after a hard day. Media are my biggest love right now. I'm still learning them and I try to show their different faces in my artworks. My favorite forms are LO, canvas, and recently even art-journal. I am very happy that I am part of such an inspiring and colorful design team.

Poland/United Kingdom

My name is Magda and I'm nearly 30. I was born in Gdansk, Poland, but moved to the UK a few years ago. I live with my hubby and two girls - 5 years old Beagle and 7 months old Hungarian Vizsla. I'm a part time personal assistant and also I'm a volunteer for British Red Cross and
a local hospice. I have always been a crafty person with a few hobbies. I love drawing and painting. I discovered scrapbooking after moving to the UK. I made my first steps making cards, then ATCs. Recently mixed media and art journaling have won my heart. I love playing with colours. I also use a lot of layers and try to add my drawings to my mixed media projects. I try to have fun whatever I create. It's a great honour to be a part of this amazing DT.

Belarus

My name is Maria Potapovich, but online I am known by the nickname mellpellmell. 
I live with my family in Minsk (the capital of Belarus). I have higher technical education, but since childhood I loved creativity in all its forms. I attended music school (fortepiano), sang in the choir, always dancing and drawing since I can remember. Now I'm cutting the pieces of paper and putting the stamp marks all day long ...))) I like to make notebooks, shadow boxes, but recently I fell in love with LOs & art journals. Most of all in scrap I like ...  in general I like to do all that is connected with the paper, inks, stamps, masks, etc.
Most of my notebooks go to customers with the individual fairy tale, written exclusively for them. Of course, there are some notebooks without stories in my blog, and there are some stories that do not have notebooks... Another thing I love is making workshops. But now I just show tutorials on youtube and make online teaching, because now I have not enough time for personal classes...
It is a great honor for me - to be accepted here in one DT with such famed
designers! Thank you for such a splendid opportunity.

Poland

Witajcie! Dla większości wirtualnej społeczności (zwłaszcza tej scrapującej) znana jestem jako Matilde. Moja przygoda ze scrapbookingiem zaczęła się ok. 3 lata temu i jak dotąd nie chce się skończyć :) Wśród moich prac znajdziecie przede wszystkim tagi, ATC, layouty, kolaże, wpisy do artjournala. Ciągle na etapie uczenia się, szukania nowych form wyrazu, odkrywania nowych możliwości jakie dają papier i media, a przede wszystkim nieustannie czerpiąca radość z tworzenia - oto jaka jestem :) Bardzo się cieszę, że dzięki Aidzie mogę być tu z Wami i dla Was. Mam nadzieję, że choć troszkę uda mi się poinspirować swoimi pracami :)

Hello  everyone! For most of my virtual friends I am known as Matilde. My adventure with 
scrapbooking started 3 years ago and it doesn't want finish :) You can find among my works mostly tags, ATC's, layouts, collages, artjournal pages. I'm still at the stage  where I learn a lot and develop my skills, search for new methods of expression and discover that paper and media bring various possibilities to create. I really love my hobby and it makes my happy every day :) I'm really happy that, thanks to Aida, I can be here with you and for you. I hope that my projects will be a little bit inspiring for you :) 

USA

My name is Mona Pendleton, I live with my sweet husband, Scott in Phoenix, AZ USA. We have a blended family consisting of two teenagers, two grown young adults and two 8 year old West Highland Terriers. I work as a Registered Nurse in the Operating Room of an Orthopedic Hospital and in my spare time, I find it enjoyable to use the other side of my brain, playing with paper crafting products creating various projects. I first started scrapbooking too long ago to remember when which spilled over into card making, creating home décor projects and gifts for family, friends and coworkers.  I enjoy creating with stamps, dies, paint, ink, markers and anything else that allows me to be creative. I love lots of layers, colors and find happiness in all the little details!
I'm very honored and feel so blessed to be accepted as a design team member amongst a group of wildly talented and accomplished designers.

Wow! I co powiecie? Wspaniały team prawda? Ja czuję się zaszczycona i podekscytowana możliwością współpracy z tak utalentowanymi projektantkami. Ale jak pisałam na początku, było tak wiele zgłoszeń od naprawdę fantastycznych osób, że nie mogłam nie zaprosić niektórych osób do współpracy choćby na krótszy okres czasu, dlatego obok naszego stałego DT powstaną trzy 3-miesięczne mini zespoły Gościnnych Projektantów, które przedstawiam poniżej . 

WOW! What can you say? Isn't it the greatest team ever? I feel so honored and excited to work with all these talented designers. But as I said at the beginning I received so many wonderful applications, that I couldn't resist and not to invite more people to cooperate with us, that is why I decided to create three mini Guest Designers Teams for 3 months' periods.
