We would like you to meet....

 Romy Veul

I'm sure a lot of you will recognize her, as she plays along in all

of our challenges and her work is amazing and worth looking at again and again.

She is 17 years old and from Holland and will be our Guest Designer

for the next few months.

I'd like to say that I want to be like her when I grow up, but I'm old enough

to be her mom.  LOL  I was going to try to introduce her to you all, but didn't think

I would do her justice... so I had her tell you all about herself.

I'm sure you are going to love her as much as we do!!

I've added some of her work for your viewing pleasure while reading.

It's like a picture book!  hee, hee

 

Hi! My name is Romy Veul. I'm 17 years old and live in the north of Holland with my parents, my brothers (they are twins) and our cats and guinea pigs. I'm in my last year of high school and will hopefully go to University after my graduation. Besides spending time at school and homework, I love to play badminton, do fun things with friends or family, take pictures and - of course - make cards or layouts.

 

 Scrapbooking is definitely my favourite way to spend my time. I love to let my worries go and just spend time searching through my papers and embellishments and making something new with them. It's also such a wonderful way to capture special moments and memories for the rest of your life. My family loves to take a look in my scrap albums and it's always good for some 'ooohs' and 'aaahs' like 'Oh, I know that moment, it was so funny'. That's what is making me smile.

 I find it pretty difficult to describe my style of scrapbooking. I love to use a lot of layering and embellishments on my layouts and I think you could best say that my layouts are pretty 'full'. I can't keep any corner of a layout or card 'unused'...LOL! Also I'm a huge fan of glitter, pink and all kinds of bling and also seem to grab my scissors for every project...if I can cut out something, I will cut it out:) I'm a real girly girl and love to show that in my pages. Besides those things, I think you can call me a very slow scrapbooker. A layout usually takes me 4-5 hours, though I seem to get a bit faster lately. When I don't have the time or inspiration to make a layout, I'll work on a card. Thanks to all the great embellishments and cut-out sheets, that manufacturers like Bo Bunny offer, it's pretty easy to make a beautiful card in no time at all. 

 Since I don't have children yet -which is probably not so rare for someone at age of 17, LOL!- I mostly scrap about my nieces (I feel blessed to have 8 nieces, who are 0 to 11 years old), our family, our pets or vacations. I just let the picture do the work for me and then start to search for papers and embellishments in my stash to compliment it. I love all the great things this hobby brought me. I got to learn some amazing girls - some of them even became real friends - , who aren't only very supportive, but also really sweet when it comes to other things than scrapbooking. 

How about some fun facts about myself?

-Did you know I mostly spend more time on chattering about scrapbooking than on scrapbooking itself? There are just so many great blogs and online galleries...I just have to take a look at them every day:D
-Did you know that I'm a little bit afraid of fish? When I see that there's a fish in a lake, I will refuse to swim in it. Oops!
-Did you know that I've got a little something with surnames? I already thought of what names I'd like to give my own children in the future.

-Did you know that I love romcoms in all kinds and sorts? I just looove feel-good-movies with a 'happily everafter'-end.
-Did you know that I've been stalking the Bo Bunny blog since it's very first start and that there haven't been any Bo Bunny collection yet that I didn't like? I feel so honoured to be a guest designer for this amazing manufacturer and to get to work with so many talented girls. Thanks so much for this amazing opportunity!
