Getting to know Chupa a little better!
Hello from Down Under!! My name is Iwona, but they call me Chupa. I'm a wife to the most wonderful man, and a mum to a six weeks old cutie called Zuzia. I've been cardmaking since July this year, and from the very beginning I could call myself an addict - if only I had unlimited time and money to spend on supplies :) I'm overjoyed and honoured to join the super talented team for this week, I wish you all fun with this lovely sketch!
Thank you for this wonderful opportunity, wish you all a great week!

Click on Chupa's photo or name to go to her blog and be more inspired.

And together with Chupa, here's the team's wonderful minds & creative hearts interpreting the sketch.
