Greetings! We are the owners and administrators of the ScrapUA.com store — Katia and Tania. You may already know us, or perhaps we’ll get to know each other through ScrapUA.com :) Either way, we’re happy to connect with you and will do our best to support you in your creative journey.
Nice to Meet You
Let’s start with the fact that we are scrapbookers (and to all the beginners out there — please forgive us for this tongue-twister of a word! Don’t worry, soon your vocabulary will be filled with so many new terms that your husbands might experience a bit of culture shock) :)
You can get to know our creative work better through our blogs:
Tania’s – Everything I Love So Much
Katia’s – Scrap Jam
How We Discovered Scrapbooking
Scrapbooking entered our lives relatively recently — in the fall of 2009 (we can hardly believe it ourselves!). As it often happens, we stumbled upon it by chance, and just like many other scrapbookers, we got so hooked that we still can’t stop.
Our story is living proof that anyone can become a successful scrapbooker.
Tania has always been a creative soul — she used to embroider, knit, do decoupage, and paint. Despite (or maybe thanks to) her crafty background, scrapbooking became her number one passion. Her natural creativity helped her dive in quickly and find her own style.
Katya, on the other hand, was what you might call “not an artist” — she had never been into anything creative (unless you count some cross-stitching during pregnancy:)). Scrapbooking turned out to be the form of art where you can express yourself, where you can “paint without knowing how to draw.” Believe someone who struggles to draw a flower with her 2-year-old son — scrapbooking is truly easy and accessible!
So here we are, nearly 14 years in the world of scrap — and we’re not planning to leave it anytime soon.
How We Opened the Shop
The idea of opening a store came to us quite naturally. We reached a point in our creative journey where we wanted to buy this and that, but the online shops kept showing “out of stock” or didn’t even have the items we needed. That’s when we uttered the magical words:
“If only we had our own store...”
And here you are — right in it :)
Feedback and Suggestions
We’d like to ask you for a small favor. “We’re not wizards yet — we’re still learning!” :)
So if you have any feedback, suggestions, or comments about our store — please don’t hesitate to share them. We’ll do our best to make ScrapUA.com as helpful and user-friendly as possible.
The Importance of Friendship
It’s easy for us to write “We,” because we’ve been friends for ages :)
We share so much: the same university, two years living together in a rented apartment, kids of the same age, a love for scrapbooking, and — most importantly — a strong, beautiful friendship.
We hope this “aura” will help us create a warm and welcoming atmosphere in our shop.
And we wish you the joy of having genuine, loyal friends walking through life by your side.
And finally, we just want to say:
Magic is for everyone! Let’s create boldly! ✨
