Tell us a little bit about yourself and how you got started crafting: I grew up in South Africa and now live in Canada with my three beautiful teenage girls and one super cute Mini Schnauzer, Abby. I got started scrapbooking back in 2003 after a scrapbook class and I fell in love with scrapbooking right from the get-go and have never stopped.

Favorite thing to create: I love creating Artful Scrapbook Layouts. I love the 12×12″ format. It’s like making a little work of art in a reasonable amount of time and the gratification is instant!

What do you love about scrapbooking/cardmaking? I love that I can combine the love for art and HEART on my layouts. I love to express myself through art and photos and journaling. My very favorite things all in one.

5 fun facts about yourself:
1. I love coffee.
2. Photograph by Ed Sheeran is my favorite song right now.
3. Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day.
4. I love taking my girls to school and especially love picking them up in the afternoon.
5. My scrapbook room is my favorite place to be.

Here is the gorgeous card Wilna made for her feature:
