...Corinne Delis from the Netherlands!!
We love Corinne's colorful and fun style! Her personality just shines through her artwork!! Let's get to know a bit more about her.
............................................................................................................................................
1. When did you start scrapbooking and
how did you get started?
I started scrapbooking in May 2004
after a friend showed me some of her scrapbooking supplies. I loved them
and was hooked right away. I have a graphic background so "designing"was not
something that was new to me. I hadn't been creative for a while after the kids
where born, so this gave me back a lot of my creative
energy.
2. From where do you draw inspiration?
Truly (and I know this is an answer you might have heard many times before) I get my inspiration from everything around me. From colors, stories, magazines, fabric, you name it! I am never out of ideas, to be honest, I wish I had the time to make everything that pops into my head.
3. Describe your style for us.
I have always found that a difficult question since I tend to go for "Freestyle", but I also do graphic layouts. I, however, do LOVE color so I think that is something you always see back in my pages. When I work on assignments for the Dutch magazines I tend to work a bit different in style than when I scrap just for myself. I think this is because I am restricted to use certain supplies. When I am free to do what I want than 95% of my pages will be freestyle.

4. How do you go about designing a page?
I am not a thinker, but I am a doer. I start with a picture OR
with journaling...and I take it from there. When I think too much it will take me
forever to finish a page and when I just start without an idea in mind it just
magically pops in my head while I am busy creating.
5. What is your favorite Prima product?
This was the first time using the ribbons and I must say that I love the design of them. It certainly will not be the last time that I use them!
6. What are 3 other products that you can't live without?
Thickers from American Crafts, Paint Dabbers from Ranger Inc. and my Clip it Up! (www.clipitup.com)
7. What is/was one of your favorite scrapbook trends/fads?
To tell you the truth I am not so into trends. I would rather just do my own thing. When a new trends pops up I see if it is something I can mingle in with my own style and if not, I let it go. I actually have no idea what is a big trend right now. Oh...somethings pops up in my mind...the white sharpie pen...perfect product for white journaling and it was everywhere. I still use this pen a lot!
8. Is there anything else you'd like to share with us?
I am married to Raymond and he made it possible to make my dreams come true in the Scrapbooking field. So, now that I have the chance, I want to send him a HUGE thank you for all that he has done for me..."Love you Ray!"

Isn't this just the cutest bird ever? Corinne is not just a talented scrapbooker...she is wonderful at altered items! This Prima box has been altered with a variety of Prima ribbons and flowers to create the perfect "birdhouse" for this cute little"birdie".

Ahhh....Corinne works color so well. We love the mix of blues and green here...with a tad of black thrown in to give it an edge. The beautiful yellow Prima flower centers the whole design...................................................................................................................................................................................
This beautiful photo is framed in a colorful bouquet of Prima Crazy Daisies. The mix of green, white and blue flowers provide the perfect amount of color variation to make the page fun, but not overwhelming!..................................................................................................................................................................................
Thank you, Corinne, for being our Guest Designer! We love your work and are so happy you love our Prima products!!
