Marina Ignatova – Russia

Graphic 45 2020-2022 Brand Ambassador

“Hello, creative scrap fans! My name is Marina Ignatova and I’m from Russia. I live in a small town called Maykop. I have a wonderful family: husband and two sons who adore my projects. So happy and honored to become a part of the talented Graphic 45 Team again!

Now I will tell you a little bit about myself. I’m a creative programmer. And I feel that all of technical in my soul will be ousted by an inspired scrapbooker sooner or later. Although there is no) Until there is a perfectionist inside me, the probability of this is still small. But I will try to combine both sides of them equally.

Also I can sleep less! Due to this I can create in my pleasure all night long ) The main things are having an idea and pleasing Muse beautiful and high-quality materials. Generally I love this quality in myself and hope someday the science will come to make the most the half of our lives under the blanket.

I do not like to spend time on photography works and even more do not like photo processing. It’s easier for me 4-5 days to make a great album with lots of pockets and secrets than spend several hours to share it with readers in the best light) Often I think about how I don’t have enough fairies or gnome-assistant)))

I’m a fan of albums. I like big and mini, multi-part, unusual, memorable and catchy soul albums. But in my creations there are not only them. I am for diversity and development therefore, I always try to create something new) I love to create without limits. Today I can think about pop-up, tomorrow I will colour the whole desk and myself, cover topping and glitter everywhere! In a day I can create altered projects) I think that in your team I will reveal even more and realize a lot of my extraordinary ideas)

Mixed Media Layout

By Marina Ignatova

My first project as brand ambassador Graphic 45 21-22! It is very exciting, responsible and at the same time incredibly joyful, because I am happy to be here!

So, my “self-portrait”. I created a mixed media layout about myself and my craving for creativity. It is based on a sheet from the Le Romantique Deluxe Collector’s Edition and one of my most favorite collections A Ladies’ Diary DELUXE COLLECTOR’S EDITION. I also made a step-by-step tutorial on creating this Layout. Enjoy your viewing!
