Special Guest Spotlight on Ingrid Gooyer

We are back today with yet another fabulous Guest Designer

whom we know you will absolutely love!

Ingrid Gooyer is a tremendously talented artist whose attention 

to detail is simply awe inspiring. Her romantic shabby style was 

the perfect match for this month's challenge board and 

we are so thrilled to have her join us as our February Special Guest! 

Learn a bit more about Ingrid as she introduces herself:

"Hello! My name is Ingrid Gooyer and I live in the Netherlands.

I am married to the best hubby and together we have two beautiful girls.

Thanks to my mom and dad, who were also very creative, I was always

busy throughout my life with artistic hobbies: knitting, painting, crocheting, 

calligraphy, making all of my kids' clothes and many many more.

In 2016, I discovered scrapbooking. It was a great way to showcase

all of my photos, another favorite hobby of mine! I fell in love with

lovely papers, but the last two years, I have really come to adore everything

that is mixed media.  There is nothing better for me than to be in my small

craft room, playing with all my paints!  Pure crafty heaven!"

Here is a reminder of our February TOGETHER & AMPERSAND challenge

which inspired Ingrid to create the beautiful project that immediately follows:

Here is how Ingrid describes how she was inspired by our word

and how she incorporated our creative challenge:

"I was inspired by the word TOGETHER to create this piece featuring a photo

of our walking shoes.  My hubby and I really love to take long nature walks and

any days spent together this way are so special to us... precious time together, 

enjoying each other's company and all of nature's beauty!

So I came up with this layout including all that: together, love and nature.

And of course, I added an AMPERSAND in my title!"

We absolutely adore Ingrid's photo and how it embodies 'togetherness'.

As are all of Ingrid's creations, this one contains fantastic mixed media

techniques on the background with fabulous flower clusters!

Truly gorgeous!  

Here are some close-ups:

A big THANK YOU to Ingrid for agreeing to be our February Special Guest!

We have no doubt that Ingrid's beautiful creation will inspire you
