Read on to find out how you can win a prize from today's post.


Welcome to Riikka Kovasin



I am Riikka Kovasin from Helsinki, Finland. I am married and have two daughters who are a constant source of inspiration to me. They also are the reason why I started scrapbooking in 2009. 

My style is colorful and rich in detail. Nothing makes me happier than when I can combine my love for the beautiful products with the possibility to get messy with different paint media. I am a mixed media and scrapbooking artist who loves to combine different products and techniques to express my feelings and to preserve the everyday life for myself and my family. Besides giving in-person workshops, I started taping my own videos to let people participate in my creative process.


Blog: paperiliitin.blogspot.co.uk


Riikka features in many issues of Scrap365 Magazine because she is so inventive with her ideas and creatively diverse. In her article in the November issue, Riikka visited a hardware shop and found all sorts of interesting items to use on her pages.


Just to prove how creative Riikka is, she has used embossing folders to stamp on her background! Check out Riikka's blog to see more of her project and watch a video of this technique. Don't forget to collect today's letter to be in with a chance of winning a Cricut Mini worth £129!

Today we also have a fabulous prize of a £15 shopping voucher to give away from A Sprinkle of Imagination.


A Sprinkle of Imagination are a family-run business with a passion for art journaling, mixed media, altered art and scrapbooking. They have a wide range of products for stampers, scrappers and mixed-media artists alike.

To be in with a chance of winning, just leave a comment on Riikka's blog and one on this post. We'll draw a winner on 28th January.

Good luck and happy scrapping!

The Scrap365 team.
