Get to Know DT Jona

Hi, everyone!

I got another wonderful person joining the

Filipino Scrapbookers Design Team.

I was able to snag her a few days ago and

I'm glad she obliged and accepted my DT invitation.

She's none other than Jona from Antipolo City!

Now, let's get to know her more:

NAME:  Jona Saavedra Panesa

Blog:  My art, my life, my space

"I am a working mom to a 7 year old and wife to a photo enthusiast who lovingly supports my addiction to scrapbooking.  I am our family's memory keeper who devotes time to preserve our memories in artworks.  I am first a scrapbooker who also loves cardmaking and stamping,  and turning trash into treasures  through recycled art.

I have been scrapbooking for more than six years now and loved to cluster my embellishments. I love texture and dimension on my pages.  My style varies and has evolved through the years.  I find inspiration on the papers and embellishments I design with. I am honored to be an Alumni Design Team  for Inkido, a Sweddish manufacturer now called Papercraft Scandinavia and Best Creation for August 2010 - July 2011.

 Scrapbooking is a theraphy and an outlet for stress for me. It relaxes me after a long day at work and gives me so much joy when family and friends appreciated my work of art. "

Here's a sample of her work:

Challenge #22 (sketch by LG)

A pleasant 2nd half of June 2013 to everyone and
A HAPPY FATHER'S DAY to all the DADs & HUBBY's out there!!
Everyone would probably be busy with school prep,
taking care of our children's assignments and the like. . . 

. . . still with the good news that as of the
start of June the Filipino Scrapbookers Challenge Blog is
already accepting handmade and 
digital card entries from participants.

We will be asking you to create either an LO or a card out of
the sketch provided below.
The sketch will be a generic sketch vying either for
an LO (traditional or digital) or
a handmade card or digital card. . . 

By July 2013, FSCB will be having
a separate card sketch challenge from
an LO sketch challenge. . . . unlike this month where
the sketch challenge can be both for LOs and cards.
Thus, another kind of sketch challenge
to join into in the month of July 2013.
Watch out for it!!!

So, get your scissors and pattern papers OR
your digital kits and open your digital softwares and 
start creating with us!!  

 It's our 22nd challenge and
we have a sketch by LG:

We have another

FSCB Guest Designer

for the whole month of June 2013.

She is none other than . . .

Sharon Plantilla-Chua.

Without further ado, here's her layout . . . .
