Yup thats right -Flying Unicorn is so pleased to announce the two newest members to our Creative Team - Angelica nd Lynne!
I´m a creative 50-year-young granny, mother, wife and a smallholding farmer, living high up in the northern part of Sweden.
As long as I can remember i have been painting or crafting, writing stories and building up fantasy worlds. When I stumbled across scrapbooking in february 2011, I discovered that I could combine all that I love whilst creating cards, layouts and canvases. And since then It has been an obsession, a neverending love-story and an amazing way to express my inner self.
Last year I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder, and it was pretty tough. But now I´m ok, back on track and I face the future with confidence.
I´m so grateful for having the opportunity to create with this amazing team
Hi
everyone! My name is Lynne Woolgar. I am so honored and excited to
be CT for Flying Unicorn!!
I am a
single mother of 3 adult children, Kevin, Daniel and Ashley. My extended family
includes my DIL Carol and SIL Mike, as well as Kevin’s long-time girlfriend,
Arelys. I saved the best for last, Mason, my grandson. You are going to
see many projects that include his picture. He is most definitely my
inspiration, and the reason for scrapping!
I
started scrapping in the early ‘90s, and although I enjoyed the process, I made
very few layouts. It took me 5 years to get one album done! Fast forward to
2004; a divorce and a major move back to Florida, changed all of that. Funny
how, my scrapbook supplies were the only arts & crafts items that I brought
with me. I worked on a few pages during the next few years, but concentrated
more on home decorating, sewing, and floral arranging. While out shopping one
day, I picked up a magazine that inspired me to venture into a new art form –
collages. Still working on that one! Of course, if you are making collages, you
need pretty papers, stamps, inks, all of the lovely supplies you need to do
scrapbooking! At about the same time, my daughter, Ashley, announced that she
was pregnant. Well, that was it….I had to document her pregnancy and the baby
shower, and the birth, and the footprints, and the smile, and
the…….everything!!! Now, I’m hooked!
Along
the way, I’ve had a few DT positions, which included POSH, Snobby Walrus, and
Scrapbudz. I’ve also been honored to have been a Guest DT for Graphic 45 and
Scraps of Elegance. I am currently a DT on the Twisted Tuesday Challenge Blog.
Scrapping
has become a way of life for me. Not only is it my creative outlet and escape,
it has also helped me to regain some sanity in my hectic life. I’m always
looking for new ideas and techniques to try out, and to pass on. And I welcome
the challenge to get out of my comfort zone, which is romantic chic, whether
it’s grungy, shabby chic, retro or classic, it’s definitely my go-to style. I
have learned so much and have been inspired by so many scrappers &
crafters, and I am looking forward to learning & sharing more!!
