Let's Welcome Guest Designer: Keren Tamir

Guest Designer: Keren Tamir

Location: Canada

Keren caught our eye with her design team submission filled with beautiful, feminine projects! She is an avid particpator in our monthly contests and on our social medias. We love to see what Keren comes with as every single project is a total knock-out!

We hope you enjoy getting to know Keren and seeing a bit of her work!

"My name is Keren Tamir and I'm 38 years old. I am a wife to a wonderful husband who is very supportive of my scrapbooking art, and a mother of two amazing kids; a 11 year old boy and a 6 year old girl. I've been scrapbooking for 10 years and I mainly scrapbook about my family.

My style is a combination of shabby chic softness and mixed media layering. I use lots of flowers and vines in my projects along with lots pastes and mists. My style is always evolving and that’s one of the things I love about this art. I've been experimenting with different mediums and techniques over the past couple of years until I found the perfect style for me and it has been very rewarding.

One of the main reasons I started scrapbooking was to preserve memories and photos for my children. However, now I enjoy another aspect of scrapbooking. I love the artistic outlet and soul fulfillment that it gives me. I love to create and I’m passionate about what I do.

I was so happy when I was chosen to be a Guest Designer for Prima. I love all the Prima products and I use them in almost all my projects. I'm so excited to showcase my work on the Prima blog this month. It is an honor and a pleasure!!

I hope you enjoy my creations as much as I enjoyed creating them!!
May Love fullfill every moment of your life and may your heart be filled with peace and laughter." ~Keren

You

I made a layout about my husband who is often not the subject of my layouts.

This was the perfect month to make a romantic layout as February is the month of Love in North America. ~Keren
