Mira Juracek (Poland)

My name is Mira. I am 27 years old freshly-made Mom living in Wroclaw (Poland) with my husband Pawel and daughter Ola. I am scrapbooking lover since 2007, but this activity was always a huge part of my life, though I didn't realize it is called this way :) {Thank You Google!}I love documenting our everyday life in the form of pocket albums and mini books. If You had asked me a few years ago what was my number one kind of project I would say: Layouts! No hesitation! But after I tried pocket documenting system my scrapbooking world turned upside down and now pocket pages are my totally favorite! Over all I admire simplicity in projects, yet having so many wonderful embellishments around I simply cannot stop adding them and always end up with a lot of details on my pages. I especially love the tiniest details and my #1 choice for every project are enamel dots.I am really happy to join CTK Creative Team and I hope You'll find my projects inspiring.

The hobby quickly took over their spare bedroom and these days she is honored to design for Lawn Fawn, Elle’s Studio, and Citrus Twist Kits. Her projects have been published in Cards, Create, and Scrapbook Trends magazines. Melissa lives in the beautiful panhandle of Florida along the Gulf of Mexico. Her day job consists of working for Escambia County as a Tax Agent. She is married to a great guy named Troy and they have two dogs and a cat. She loves music, cooking, photography, and reading.
