Welcome to my blog!
Who I am
My name is Olesya. I was born in Russia, in a city called Tver, located on the Volga River between Moscow and Saint Petersburg. In 2000, I moved to Antalya, Turkey, where I lived for nearly 20 years. Today, I live in Leonberg near Stuttgart, Germany, with my two cats. After a few years of working as a primary school teacher, I chose to devote myself fully to digital scrapbooking — something I had been doing part-time since 2010 and full-time since 2019. My background in education continues to shape the way I see stories and memory-keeping. When I’m not designing or scrapping, you’ll likely find me hiking, walking, reading, writing stories, watching movies, or baking pies.
Design philosophy
Live in color: stickers and planner supplies is built around a simple idea — everyday moments deserve to be seen, remembered, and expressed. Most of the designs in my shop are phrase stickers, because words have the power to capture feelings that photos alone cannot always tell. I create seasonal phrases, motivational reminders, reading journal stickers, travel journal phrases, and stickers for Bible journaling — small pieces of language meant to accompany real life.
The shop offers both physical and digital products, though most of the collection consists of physical stickers. All designs are created under my brand Mediterranka Design and reflect the same philosophy that guides all of my work: thoughtful words, meaningful moments, and creativity that brings life to the page.
