Zaneta Glowa – November’s Guest Designer

My name is Zaneta Glowa, known to most of you as Zanka. I have lived in Sweden for 10 years but I’m Polish by origin.

My adventure with scrapbooking started in 2010. It didn’t take long before it became my big passion and a main consumer of my spare time.
By saying ‘spare time’ I mean the precious moments in the late evenings when the rest of my family is asleep or busy with something else 🙂
Currently I’m working for 3 DTs : two challenge blogs Let’s get Shabby and Scrap Around the World, and a Swedish brand Inkido.
You are warmly welcome to visit me on my blog at www.mysweedplace.blogspot.com

I’ve been a faithful fan of 7 Dots Studio and the 7DS team since the brand was born and I can honestly say, 7 Dots products outnumber any of the supplies in my stash:)
GD apperance for 7 DS is definitely one of my best scrapbooking moments of 2013 🙂
Let me share with you some of my 7DS based projects:

‘Good times’
I totally adore this photo , it reminds me of the hottest day of this summer and a visit of two very special guests to Krakow.
The painterly character of this scene inspired me to pick 9th Wave collection and go mixed media style!

I created the watercolour background with stamping and splashes of Twinkling H2O and I added some pieces of papers to create layers, bringing forward the photo.

‘Hello’
Love Is In The Air is my ‘collection of choice’ to bring the colour in focus! I have matched two background pieces with some scraps from Domestic Goddess and Dreamer, staying in the colour scheme.

There aren’t many added embellishments here. I’ve cut out some shapes with my Sizzix dies and basically only played with subtle shades and patterns of the 3 collections.

‘Fun with Grandpa’
The thing about 7Dots collections is that they can be so harmoniously, beautifully combined together. I’ve assembled this mixed media canvas using only bits and pieces which I had left from the other projects.

I think I found my all time fave product from 7DS – those genius tickets from the Messy Head Elements 12×12! Here I have used only one ticket, but it’s miraculously reproduced in 3 places 😉 plus the remaining piece of the paper from the sheet where the ticket was.

‘Things I want to remember’
Last, but not least – this is me:) Hanging out on a late summer weekend in the beautiful city of Stockholm.
I surrounded myself with the elegant, feminine, muted tones of The Queen’s Heart 🙂

Also here an eagle eye will spot a few accents of Messy Head, an amazingly versatile collection which fits almost everywhere!
