Julianne McKenna-De Lumen

guesting for us this month!

Lets get to know a little more about Julianne!

To my friends, I am known as Jules The Bling Princess because of my love (and stash) of bling. I have been scrapping for a little over 7 years, and like many others before me, I was addicted from my very first lesson, and I jumped into it, heart and soul. In addition to layouts (my one true love), I create cards, tags, off-the-page items, mini-albums, and mixed media canvases (and layouts). Currently I design for Imaginarium Designs, Kaisercraft, PaperHaus, Making Memories Colorbok, and Purple Pumpkin. I am also a sketch designer for  Sketches Around The World.     

My style involves colour - and a lot of it. I love colour, and I am not scared of using it on my layouts. With 2 daughters, I love bright, pretty, eye-catching colours (with lots of bling thrown in too). My layouts are always feminine and pretty, and all about the details. I would say my style is a modern Shabby Chic, mixed with a splash of "white space". However, I am just as happy scrapping in other styles. My favourite embellishments and products would be flowers, stencils and masks, chipboard, and transparencies. Oh, and washi tape. You will nearly always find one, or more, of these items on my layouts. But if I had to choose just one favourite crafting supply - I would have to say the paper itself. As long as I have paper, I can create anything I want. Love, love, love my paper! It is the backbone of my work.  

I currently reside in Mount Barker, South Australia with my husband, 2 daughters, 9 cats, and 2 rabbits. Apart from being a scrapbook addict, I will also admit to be a Pinterest addict, Twilight fanatic, organising Diva, Mamarazzi photographer, and insatiable book-worm.
