Last but not Least, Karin!

Today we meet our last addition, Karin from the Netherlands.

My day job  is I own my own hair studio and traveling around with it to do hairjobs.

I am married with Michel, and have a little boy Mexx who is almost two now.  I also have 2 cats, Pookie and Dipsy.

I think I've been scrapbooking now for almost 6 years and still love it.

My inspiration comes from daily things and from what little kids create.  I always adore colorful stuff and i can't get my eyes off it.  Also magazines and internet are helpful.  

Must have items for my layouts always are something very colourful and different.  I love Sassafras, American Crafts, Hambly, etc.  I do not have a special product that i like but I always want to try something new and like to challenge myself to try something new. 

I think my scrappy style is messy colorful.  I like to combine and mixed colors together maybe that is why I am a hair artist.
