Lisa Novogrodski

My name is Lisa Novogrodski. I have been involved in the scrap world  since 2009. My artistic mediums include scrap art, altered art, digital alterations and mixed media. I enjoy learning new techniques, growing and expanding in this wonderful craft and sharing with other artists. 

I am currently designing for Scraps of Elegance where I am the Design Team Coordinator and Scraps of Darkness.

I have been published in Scrapbook News and Review, Scrapstreet & Scrapbooking.com. I have publications coming out in print for the fall issues of Scrapbooking and Beyond and Crafts N Things.

I am honored to have been asked to serve as a guest designer here at Berry Bleu! I love Marivic's gorgeous detailed tags and have created some altered items I hope you will enjoy.

Jona Panesa

I am Jona Panesa, a scrapbooker from Manila, Philippines.  A working mom to a grade schooler, Zid  and wife to a photo enthusiast, Glen, who supports my addiction to scrapbooking  and who supplies mostly the photos in my pages.I have been scrapbooking for 5 years now  and never looked back on the joys of scrapbooking.  My style have evolved through the years.  My girly pages are mostly shabby chic and sometimes artsy,  my boy pages are from clean and simple to loud pages.  I do make sure  that there are dimensions,  texture and layering in all my pages and artworks.  I love to alter trash  and turn them into treasures. I love altering bottles  and make them beautiful home decors.I used design for Best Creations, a US manufacturer,and Inkido - now Papercraft Scandinavia,  a Sweddish manufacturer  and guest designer for challenge blogs and online shops.  If not scrapbooking,   you will see me reading books and learning about cosmetics.  I used to bake and do cake decorating which happens to be my first love.  Paper and glue took over and I hope someday  I can do them both with equal attention.I would like to thank Marivic  for the opportunity in Guest designing for Berry 71 bleu.   It really is an honor!  Thank you so much Marivic!

Maria Castillo

Hello everyone! My name is María and I´m from Costa Rica, a blessed and beautiful country in Central America. I'm 34 years old and married to the love of my life. We have two beautiful kids: Luis Fernando (8) and Maria Paula (4). They are the reason of my life.  I´m a Language and Literature teacher in an International School, that´s why I don´t have all the time I wish to scrap. I got into the world of scrapbooking about 4 years ago and I have to say scrapbooking is a big passion for me and a wonderful therapy against the stress of everyday life. I love Marivic´s work and I feel honored and very happy to be GDT at Berry 71 bleu.
