Scrappingville's New Designer Team


Hi! My name is Yuzz Yusof, I have been scrapbooking for almost three years and I love doing anything creative but have found my niche with scrapping.  Scrapbooking is definitely my patient and favourite way to channel my creative energy and it is very much therapeutic and also this is part of “me” time for me. Our lives are so colourful and I enjoy documenting through pictures and pages, doing altered arts and albums to cherish the fun and not-so-fun “moments” in our lives that we might otherwise forget years down the road. Nothing brings me greater joy than to see the faces I love most light up when they look at my work. 
I would categorize my style as vintage, clean, colourful and bright, also a mixture of everything sometimes – nothing specific. Do hop on to my blog at http://blossominch.blogspot.com to see my creative work.


Hello there! I’m Marina and I’m from Petaling Jaya, Malaysia. I’m a mom to my 10-month old boy Lucas and a wife to my hubby Paul. I’ve always loved creating beautiful things but I’ve only discovered my love for paper crafting this year when I left my ten-year career as a brand marketer to be a stay-at-home-mum.  My boy inspired me to start scrapping so I can preserve his precious growing moments.  It’s so amazing how scrapping can bring memories to life and really enhance the mood of the moment.
Next to scrapping layouts, I enjoy creating cards and gifts. Some of my favourite techniques are distressing, misting and layering. I love adding flowers, pearls and glitter for that shabby-glam touch.  There are endless resources and motivations out there and we can draw inspirations and ideas from anyone and anything. I believe one’s creativity is only limited by the boundaries of one’s own imagination so we should constantly challenge ourselves.
I’m thrilled to be on Scrappingville’s team and I’ll be delighted to share my craft because life is beautiful and unique and memories are best preserved as an expression of art.  A true bibliophile at heart and a shameless foodie, when I’m not busy crafting, you will find me immersed in a book or trying out new food with the hubs.
