Special Guest Designer Caroleanne Wright

Today we are happy to welcome Special Guest Designer Caroleanne Wright!

Hi everyone! I am Caroleanne, and I am so thrilled and excited to be here with you as a Guest Designer for Berry71Bleu. I live in the UK by the seaside with my lovely husband, teenage daughter that I mostly scrap (Jess) and a cute Bishon called Millie.

I am enthusiastic for all things scrapping, I scrap daily, I love photography, card making and baking cakes. I have been crafting and sewing my whole life and when I found scrapping that was it, I was lost in it! I am never happier than when I am immersed in my scrappy world. I have been scrapping for a few years now and have fallen completely in love with it, I am totally addicted and cant stop! I love making layouts, will try all new things and can do mixed media/canvases, tags, cards etc. One of the reasons I love this hobby so much is that it carries our memories with it.

I believe all my layouts and memories will become family heirlooms for the future. I also love the papers, flowers, lace, ribbon and all the other pretty elements I get to play with. My style is quite girly, feminine, shabby, flowery, pretty and I think I am most known for my flowery clusters. I am on the STUCK ON U SKETCHES design team, a sketch team, (I love sketches) and the CHERISH THE MEMORIES FOR LIFE design team, a sketch team in Norway. Please visit my blog http://theprettypaperpatisserie.blogspot.co.uk/.

Here's my take on the February Mixed Media Challenge. I loved this challenge as it’s great fun to get all the paints and mists out and I don’t really do it enough! I loved the tag and chipboard that Marivic sent me, they are just perfect for February. And I loved using these colors, so pretty and pink, very me!

We hope you are inspired to join us this month! There are some amazing prize packages up for grabs!

Mixed media, in visual art, refers to an artwork in the making of which more than one medium has been employed. For this challenge, create a "mixed media" page, canvas, card, etc. using more than one medium. Example: paints, mists, textured paste, gesso, chalks, inks, rubs, embossing powder, and more!
