I'm Chimene Vink. Married with Dirk. Mother of Jordi (15 years) and Annemijn ( 3 years). We live in a beautiful small Village in the Netherlands.
I started scrapbooking in the summer of 2007 but it looks like I've scrapped all my life. I think I've made something like 300 layouts and a lot of mini albums. My favorite size is 12 x 12.
My mother has a lot of old family photos and when I started with these photos I discovered that Iwas in love with the vintage/ Shabby chic style.
Before my scrapping life I painted old furniture and decorated children rooms.
My other passion is photograpy. My kids are my favorite subject. But I also love to take photos of old buildings and all the treasures of the nature.
I'm a designer for a Dutch scrapbook magazine: Creatief met Foto's.
The articles are always vintage and Schabby chic.
When I was ask to be a design team member of Let's get Shabby I didn't have to think a minute about it. This is the perfect place for me: My home is shabby, my artwork is Shabby, the little dresses for my daughter are Shabby, I dream Shabby, I love Shabby!!
I'm so happy to be on the Shabby Chic team. Can't wait to work with the other talented girls:) And see all the beautiful creations you girls are going to make with the challenges!!!!
