Short bio: Hello. I'm Monika but everybody call me Mona. I'm stay-at-home-mom of two boys (7 and 4 years), living with my husband and kids in a beautiful city - Cracow - in Poland. I'm an engineer who love to scrapbook. I started scrapbooking in 2006 when my older son was one year old and I wanted to make a mini album for him. I liked scrapbooking so much and I'm doing it still with the same love and passion. Other than scrapbooking, I enjoy hiking, photography, and reading. Being a part of the American Crafts Design Team is a dream and I am truly honored!

Favorite thing to scrapbook: My kids and family.

Favorite AC product: Thickers!

5 fun facts:
1. I had a lot of pets when I was a teenager - a dog, a hamster, two parrots, and an orphaned sparrow which I raised. All in the same time in my room!
2. I love cinnamon and caramel.
3. I like to sew - I made a couple of "meitai" carriers and soft toys for kids, and carrying bags for my friends.
4. I'm diabetic - I should avoid sweets but sometimes it is very hard :)
5. I go to bed late, sometimes not before 1 a.m. I turned into a night owl.

Monika shares, "I love the Shoreline collection, it is perfect for summer layouts and also for other creations like birthday cards. I made a dimensional card for my friend who loves the sun, ocean, beac,h and swimming - I know she will love it. In the Amy Tangerine Sketchbook collection, I love the vivid colors and great patterns, and all embellishments are perfect too. I did a layout with little crazy pictures of me and my friend Magda."
