Please help me in welcoming our
My name is
Irit and I am from sunny Israel. In my "real life" I am a dentist,
but for the last 5 years I do it as a part time job, because I need some
extra time for my scrapping and crafting addiction and I have a lot of fun
doing something else after 25 years of dentistry. I have been married for 28
years to a retired high police officer, who is the full time family cook
these days.
I am a mom
to 4 grown ups: 2 sons and twin daughters. The empty nest is probably the
main reason for my obsession for crafting - finally I have some time for
myself. My oldest son is an army officer, married and a dad of my first
adorable grandson Omer. The second one is " a world traveler" - for
the last 5 years after his army service he is out of Israel for at least 9
months a year- lives and works in Spain. My twins are in their third year of
college and my major scrapbooking inspiration. I need to say that I have been
totally addicted to crafting since I was a little girl.

For many years it was a polymer clay
and jewelry making, but after I saw a scrapbook layout for the first time in
my life (only 5 years ago during my visit to USA), I finally understood that
I am in love with paper. Today I mostly scrap and do altered art and less
card making. I have been a design team member in about 12 challenge blogs and
was a guest designer on lots of others during the last 2 years, but now I decided to do some real design work and don't take any challenge blogs DT
spots anymore. Right now I am a permanent designer for UK chipboard company
named Tando creative, Robin's Nest USA paper company, Pretty Little Studio
USA paper company, Inspired By Stamping stamp company, Creative Imaginations
Paints and Epiphany Crafts tool
company. For the last year I was a DT member on Best Creation paper company,
Cheery Lynn Designs die company and designed for a few on- line shops. I was
published in print in Israel several times and was published in every
possible web magazine during the last year. Last, but not least, my other
addiction is..... folk dancing. So if I am not in my crafting room- I am
probably dancing. I am totally thrilled to be showcased on Quick Quotes blog
and I totally in love with the gorgeous products I worked.

This page was done with
my DD lovely photo and as a photo is quite monochromatic, I could use those shiny purples and blues and a lot of sparkle. The hand cut frame was
a bit of a work- but I like the final result, glueing it with 3d foams. The punched borders and a
clear shape were inked. The handmade from crepe paper flower was inked too and
I added some rounds epoxies made with the same paper for the visual triangle
affect.
