Meet the SH Design Team - Vero The Sahm

Who is Vero The Sahm ?My name is Vero and I come from France. I am married with Georges, our daughter AurĂ©lie is near 23 y.o and Anthony our son is near 20 y.o. We don’t have any pet yet, and we love travelling with our camping-van.

Tell us about your early beginnings in scrapbooking ?
In 2005 I heard about Scrapbooking through my penpals from USA. I discovered that there were some scrapbookers too in France... I became addicted very quickly.

Why do you scrapbook ?
My other passion is the photography, it's perfect to combine these two passions to keep all my memories in a artistic case where my emotion, my feelings can be expressed.

What inspires you/motivates you to create ?
First a picture ! it can be one of my photos, or a picture in a magazin.. Then a sketch, I love sketches...

Who are your scrapbooking idols ?
I don’t have any in fact. Maybe I had some years ago but there are now so many talented scrapbookers I follow via the blogs regularly, that I don’t have idols. In every scrapbooker there is an artist I admire.

Tell us a little-known fact about yourself.
I love penpalling...since I was 13 y.o... I had a lot of penpals, met many of them during my travels or when they came in France... alas now I don’t have anymore time, but kept some great friends.

What kind of music do you enjoy ?
I love pop-country music

How do you find time to scrapbook ?
I’d love to find more and more time... I manage between my half-time job and my homework. The best for me is to get two hours in a day ! That’s great !

What's the hardest thing for you to scrapbook ?
To create a journaling on my layout... that’s why I love sentences or words we can find on stamps lol !!

What's your go-to embellishment ?
Surely flowers, in any size and any material ! I like to create them myself too....

What is your favorite color for scrapbooking ? Which color do you rarely use ? 

I don’t have really favorite colors, but I like scrapping fall colors (orange, brown, yellow and so on …). and I can’t scrap purple !! I don’t know why !

What made you happy today ?
I could scrap with the Petite kit of May  ! Yeah !! I’ve been sick and I am relieved to scrap again... and this kit is awesome as habit !! lol !!

Loved getting to know more about you Vero!! I also had pen-pals at one time, and in fact had quite a few when I was in my teens! Many of them were international and it was so much fun to learn about different cultures in a personal way.
