Meet Our Design Team Week - Say Hello to Loredana Bucaria!

I’m Lory and I come from Italy! I knew scrapbooking in 2003 thanks a friend and a little journey in a Funfair Park where I was attracted by a scrapbooking book full of colors and of die cuts! Since then I made a long Internet research about this hobby and I was really lucky to discover a new wonderful world!

Since then my life is changed! Scrapbooking is become my lifestyle, it helped me in bad moments, like my dad’s death, I met new good friends around the world by Internet, all thanks to scrapbooking.

I love scrapbooking because it makes me happy, free, with the scrapbooking I forget all the ordinary worries, all the bad thoughts and only the page, the photos, the story about the photo exist! I loves to be sitting down on my chair, close to door of my scraproom and be in my scrapbook space with music in background to scrapbook her pages full of colors, of several and sometimes unusually materials. All for fun and for relaxing!

I have a big dream: to can teach around the world, it should change my life, I’d do what I really want to do! In Italy I have an online website and I have organized an international convention of scrapbooking and mixed media for three years (2008-2010) knowing the most famous scrapbookers and enjoying so much everything! It was a dream came true! I am solar, joyful, full of things to do but I love my everyday life even if something is not like I would. I got married last July with the love of my life and now I have a new cute home that I improve day by day. I love my life even if I am not a Hollywood star! LOL

What is your favorite color combo? I love all colors but my favorite color combo is turquoise-yellow-pink/fuchsia or red.

What are your go-to and must have scrapbooking products? I must have letters stickers or rub on or chipboards, words stickers and journaling tags because I'm a real journaling addict!
Why did you start scrapbooking and how did you get started? I started scrapbooking in the 2003 during a trip in a Funfair park. One of my best friends had a family member that loved the USA and that introduced her the scrapbooking, my friend introduced me scrapbooking and in that park I bought my first scrapbooking book, I remember yet,this book had the paperkins inside to cut!! So much time ago!!! Since then I became a scrapholic!!!!

I am inspired from a lot of scrapbookers around the world, I love many different styles but I know that I adore colorful styles.I love Ali Edwards, Kelly Purkey, Kim archer, Emily Falconbridge, Jamie Waters, Celine Navarro, Heidi Swapp, and so many others (some of them are my friends and I am so thankful for this, wonderful scrapbookers and very special persons) I am inspired also from interior design magazines, I love them!! I find many ideas in this kind of books!
What is your favorite thing about scrapbooking? Create, to be free, to can be what i really am!

Where do you scrapbook? I'm very lucky because I have a little scraproom in my new home... I would not have bought this new house if it had not had this room:) LOL
