It also means it's time to meet our July Guest Designer!!! Please give a warm welcome to Marit Barentsen!
Hi, I'm Marit and I'm honoured to be a guest designer for Scrapping the Music!
I've used song lyrics in my artwork ever since I started scrapbooking, and when I discovered Scrapping the Music, it was like coming home to a group of friends with the same passion for music as well as scrapbooking!
I am a passionate artist who loves to try new techniques, products and ideas, and I always try to stretch myself in my work. I think of each layout as unique and inspired by an idea, photo, paper or technique, I go from there, driven by my mood.
I’m very concentrated and thoughtful when it comes to creating. I like to put away my work from time to time and look at it later with a fresh mind; my work needs a little time to “grow”. The outcome can be very diverse: from graphical to mixed media like. Although it isn’t always clear to the observer my layouts always come with a “deeper meaning.”
I also love to work on my art journals - right now I have four going on! Scrapbooking and art journaling are my passion! There is a certain cross-over when you look at both fields and I like to explore the boundaries of it.
I graduated as a teacher in arts and last year I built my own website with a community where I teach online art journaling/scrapbooking workshops in English and Dutch.
