Please Welcome our new Educator, Valou Allard
I live in Belgium just next to the big city of Chaleroi, 40 kilometers from Brussels. I have 5 children from 5 to 15 years old. I've scrapped since 2006 and my style is the “Shabby Chic Style” but I know also how to create in a vintage style or C&S without any problem. I create a great deal of cards and of projects home decoration. My favorite tools are dies, the " Silhouette Studio ", powders " Frantage ", my ink " Distress " and my "Scor-Pal". I adore flowers, laces and ribbons. I also make embellishments in plaster and in Plasticine which I adore using on my creations."
