Petra Offrell Craft Designer

Petra Offrell

Petra Offrell My name is Petra, but I call my self Pysselpetra on the Internet. I am 40 years old and I live in Malmö, Sweden. I have 3 kids {Alva 2, Teo 4 and Love 6 years old}, 2 cats {Busan & Cosinus}, one dear husband and a passion for scrapbooking which started when I read about scrapbooking in a magazine when my firstborn was just a baby.

I am mainly a layout maker but occasionally I make a few cards and alter. I have a rather mixed style where I try to look at the papers and decorations and find the best use of them. I love to try new techniques and different media and I also like to challenge myself to try new things and styles. Mostly I scrap about my three kids, but occasionally I do BOM layouts as well. I love turquoise, brown, orange and lime but I find myself scrapping all kinds of colors. Papers with well coordinated colors and beautiful patterns make my heart beat a little bit faster. I stamp, I paint, I mist, I tear, I stitch, I cut and I punch.

When I don't scrap, I work full time as a Civil Engineer and scrapbooking is the perfect creative complement to that.
