My name is Karen Grünberg but online I generally go as karenika.
Generally I feel as if I am 40 years old.
My favorite book is To Kill a Mockingbird.
During my life, I have lived fully but cautiously.
One of the most defining moments of my life was when I moved to the United States.
My camera is a Canon 5D Mark II, and my favorite lens is my 85mm 1.8.
When I scrapbook, I must have a story.
Though I began scrapbooking in 2005, I don’t think I found my groove until 2010.
My favorite scrapbooking colors are bold, happy colors.
You might notice that many of my pages include white cardstock background, stitching, long titles, butterflies, and edge punches.
