Come Meet October's Guest Designer!

Nastya Istorkina is a wonderful young artist from Ukraine. She caught our eye the very first time we saw her work! She's cutting edge with her fun, artsy designs, and so talented with color and composition! Today we want you to meet her and see a bit of her work that she has created just for us!

"Hello! I’m Nastya. I live in Donetsk (Ukraine) with my husband and our naughty pets - one big dog and two cats. I love my life and I’m really happy! Smiling is my secret weapon against any problems. Even my blog's name is, 'Smile. Live. Scrap.'

I get inspired by all things around me. I love scrapbooking. I love the magic and happiness that it brings me! I like white cardstock, colors, and paints, so I create my projects freestyle, or with a light mixed-media touch. But, I really love the color black and I use it on almost all of my projects.

I’m so excited to be Prima's Guest Designer! It’s an honor for me. I hope that my works will inspire you to create something really awesome, or to try something new. Thanks for all and I wish you to smile and be inspired every second of you life as me!" :)

Nastya's first project is based off of our amazing October BAP sketch by Jennifer! (You can click here for BAP details!) With a sweet pattern, and lots of room for personalization, the sketch was masterfully executed on this trendy and fun layout! Just peek at all of Nastya's wonderful elements! The whole layout is such a delight to look at!
