October's 2025's Legendary Best (Overall) Winner invited to be Guest DT for December 6, 2025 and she accepted!!!

My name is Marianne, aka Maryann Scrapbooking. I live in France, I'm married, and retired.

I've been scrapbooking for 15 years, with a particular fondness for card making.

I love giving a card made especially for someone, I put my whole heart into each one, and it brings 

me so much joy.

I started with a Shabby Chic style. Over the years, I've changed styles periodically, moving into 

coloring. I became a fan of digistamps until I discovered Lesia Zgharda clear stamps.

Currently, although I love die-cutting and embellishing, I'm in an ink, paint, and stamping phase after 

winning some Lavinia stamps in a challenge.

                                                                             Super cute little Christmas fairy!!

A few words from Pauline: Hi, my name is Pauline. I live in Liverpool in the UK and have been crafting since 2005 though I took a long break between 2013 and 2021. I am now retired so have a lot more time to craft, and love stamping and colouring. I like to try different techniques but am a particular fan of Lavinia stamps to create magical fantasy scenes!
