Today we have a Guest!

Let's welcome our guest: Ro Philippsen. I  took several classes with her, including the scrap therapy group she tells about, I love her work and I hope you enjoy it too... Camila.

Hello, my name is Rosangela Philippsen.



I live in a beautiful city called Curitiba in the South of Brazil, with my hubby and my 13 years old son, Rafael. I´ve started scrapbooking 5 years ago and I Scrapbook every day. Initially it was just a hobby which made me feel very happy. And now I teach scrapbooking in my city and host scrapbook events around my country. I also teach a group of scrap therapy, called “Scrap&Me".

I am passionate about creating and inspiring different people and I love trying new and interesting materials in my designs. The project “Scrap&Me" is
 what I am most proud of in my scrapbook world. I could link art and creativity in scrapbook as a therapy.

It allowed me to go further than a class full of techniques and a creative layout with my students, I managed to propose challenges that made us to chat about small things through art. We reach these feelings through colors, specific technique, journaling, even words. Anything that can be therapeutic for a person. Nobody has to reveal anything , but we talk a lot during the class, so we create with fun! A creative therapy.
 The important is that it was an authentic thing and natural.
Picture from our group.

Who went deep into this trip with me did not regret.
Three examples of topics we cover in our “Scrap&Me” classes:

-Theme: Colours of my life.


 In this Layout, ¨colour of my life¨, I propose you to thing about the people Who color your life. Who are the people that make all the difference in your life? Who are you most important value, your biggest precious? Think about what you have that is the most treasure. Choose a fact that represents something very important for you. We Will make a special layout for this Picture.


 -Theme: Music.


Choose one. Just pick one!  It´s not necessary to be the sound of your life, it can be the music that comes to your mind at this moment, or another that attracs your attetion, or even a song that sounds nice to your hear... choose one!!!

-Theme: A message to you.


Be you. Find you. Be happy with that.
