Perhaps you've seen her around in the gallery's: Zarischka (Zarah). She makes the most beautiful LO's with lots of fantastic embellishments and beautiful photo's.
Here's a little intervieuw with Zarah:
-Do you have a blog address?
My blog is located at http://zarischka2.blogspot.com and no - there's (as far as I know) no other zarischka out there. I also blog at http://zarischka.blogspot.com but in Swedish. Thus the 2 in the url. :)
-Tell us a little about how you started paper scrapping?
I have always been an artsy type. I've tried my hand at oil painting, drawing, writing (novels and poems - I've actually been published too), water colour and so on. My albums from my early teens are filled with shape cut photos, speech bubble-stickers, drawings, tickets... and they're still quite fun to look at! I never knew about acid free scrapbooking though - until I accidentally stumbled upon a seller at a Swedish auction site (like ebay) and grew interested. I thought I could ake some cards... Soon, that lady emailed me, teling me she'd opeped a scrapbook store and I just had to find out what THAT was. I was pretty much instantly hooked! That was in December 2005 and I made my first LO in January 2006.:)
-What colours do you usually work with?
White. Lots of white! I also love blues, creams and greens - and I've grown a fondness for pink and brown which is rather peculiar, since I used to HATE both those colours! Scrapbooking does strange things to you...!
-What are 3 of your favourite page designs/projects?
Oh... Wow! Tough Question! Of mine, i presume? I'd have to say (as I always tend to like my newer ones better)... Serenity:
Deep Thoughts:
and Heartsong :)

-Have you ever tried your hand at digital? If so please show us a few of your works.
I have. I am seriously crappy at it though, and I never even finished that LO... *grins* I just seem to need the FELING of the paper to get it right. But I LOVE to play with my photos in Photoshop!
-If possible could you please supply a photo of your creative space?
No photos of my scrappy space right now. It's undergoing revamping and looks... Um... Like a dump, to be honest! *giggles*
I've chosen to lift Zarah's LO "Heartsong". I love all the different textures here, lifting them digitally is a real challenge!
