Sketch #40

Creative Scrappers, hello once again! LOOK at the gorgeous sketch we have for you this week!!!

Sketch #40:

Please welcome our Guest Designer
{Frences Lich}

My name is Frences Lich. I'm 34 years old (my lucky number!) and married with Richard. We have two beautiful daughters of 6 (Cindy) and 7 (Daphne).
I live in the Netherlands. I work as a webmaster at the local government, but in my spare time I scrap and scrap and scrap. I'm totally addicted to it.

I already scrapped with my father when I was 12 years old, with photos, coloured paper, napkins, receipts etc. Had not heard of scrapbooking then ;)
But in 2003 I bought a magazine about Scrapbooking and since then there was nothing that could stop me from scrapping. Now, a few years later, I have an own forum and have an online magazine http://www.hetscrapbookforum.nl . I also won a competition in a Dutch scrap magazine, but unfortunately they stopped making magazines!


I give workshops and there's nothing that makes me more happy then see people leave with something they're so proud off. And of course I really liked to be guest designer for Creative Scrappers!
Greetings,
Frences

Thank you, Frences, for your beautiful take on Sketch #40:

Sketch #39

Helllllloooooo sweet scrapbookers! Are you enjoying the Valentines weekend with your sweeties? Hope you're doing all kinds of mushy, lovey-dovey stuff! If your sweeties are smart, they gave you scrappy goodies instead of candy, right?!
Well, we have a sweet sketch for you to scrap this week!

Sketch #39:

Please welcome our Guest Designer

{Maja Stokk Lindahl}

Hi! I´m Maja Stokk Lindahl a mother of five children from the north of Sweden. I´m home now with my children but will go back to my work, as a teacher, in August this year.

I started with scrapbooking in 2007. I was introduced to this fantastic world of papers and stuff by my neighbour. Now I´m hooked and make pages almost every day.
I usually use bright colors and a lot of embellishments in my layouts. But I also make pages in shabbychic style or in more graphic style. I don´t have any special "Maja style". I just love everything and I´m always trying to challenge myself with new things.
Right now I´m a designer at Allt om scrap - a swedish scrapbook online magazine. I´m also designer for Scrappers - a swedish online shop.
When I´m not scrapbooking I follow my children to football and indoor bandy. I also spend a lot of time with my islandic horse. And I take a lot of photos with my camera =).

All my scrapwork can be found here on my blog:

Thanks for giving me the opportunity to be a Guest Designer!

Sketch #38

Well hello there sweet scrappy-scrappersons!
I hope your new week is off to a wonderful start!
We have a really fun new sketch for you this week!

It's Sketch #38:

Please give a warm and friendly welcome to our guest Designer,
{Kim Arledge}

My Name is Kim Arledge. My family and I live in the big ole state of Texas. I have 3 beautiful children and a husband who ain't so bad himself! He puts up with me and my endless amounts of scrapbook purchases so he has to be a good man!!!!
In 2006, I began to dabble with scrapbooking and quickly became obsessed. Over the past few years I have tapped into a part of myself that I did not even know I had and I am so thankful that I have found something that I am so passionate about. More importantly, I am creating memories for my kids to treasure for years to come. If you don't find me in my scraproom, you will find me online talking, researching, or obsessing about scrap stuff.
My scrapbooking style is still evolving because I am always up for new challenges. For the most part, I want my pictures to tell the story, hence my love for photography.
This is my first time to be a guest designer so I am honored to be invited. I have had a few layouts accepted in the Basic Grey Gallery and I served for the design team at my local scrapbook store as well as teach the Introductory class. My goal is to one day see my work in magazines...that would be pretty awesome!!!!! Until then, the skies the limit in this beautiful journey we call "Scrapbooking".

Please feel free to visit my gallery at scrapbook.com & my blog.

a New DT Member

Please welcome a new member to our Design Team ... All the way from Winnipeg Canada ... ms { Vanessa Rupp Hayden }. Vanessa brings years of experience in the Scrap world and some amazing scrapbook talent. Let's give her a warm welcome to Creative Scrappers!


My name is Vanessa Rupp-Hayden and I live in Winnipeg, Manitoba with my husband Dale. We have one teenager named Keewatin and a big old cat named Murray!

I have been scrapbooking for 9 years now! It is amazing that I can save our memories, get creative, enjoy photography and meet so many wonderful friends through this hobby! So many fun things all rolled into one-I just think it is fabulous! I have a passion for pattern papers, layering and embellishing my pages. Most of my layouts are about friends and family (4 legged furbabies included) but I jump at the chance to scrap our travels as well.

I have had the opportunity to share my work and get creative as a design team member for a online store and with some special magazine challenges. My layouts have been published in Canadian Scrapbooker, Scrapbook Trends, Scrapbooks Etc, Paper Trends, Layout Blueprints and PaperArt. I love a great sketch and look forward to being on the Creative Scrappers Design Team!

Sketch #37

Hello Scrapbookers! Thank you for checking in for your weekly dose of Creative Scrappers goodness! We have a great new sketch for you this week!

And, please welcome the winner of our February Guest Designer Contest!
{Issa Virtucio-Lucido}

Hi Everyone! I am Issa Virtucio-Lucido and I come from Laguna, Philippines. Been married for 16 years to Dodo and a stay at home Mom to my two energetic boys Luigi, 15 and Lorenzo, turning 5 in March.

I started making pages in 1993 when my first child was born, not knowing that what I was doing was called scrapbooking. It was in 2003 when I met my bestfriend Timi and taught me the basics of this craft. Since then it became my deepest passion. I don't really know my style, but I love sewing, paper tearing and painting. As of now, I am so eager to try new and different styles and learn more about this wonderful hobby. And since I have two sons to scrap, I fell in love with masculine yet dainty layouts.

Right now, I am a member of the LB Scrapaholics, a group of mommies living in our little town sharing the passion of scrapbooking and teaching how to scrap and alter.

Aside from Scrapbooking, I love photography, cooking and traveling with my family.

I would like to thank Kristine and the Creative Scrappers team for giving me this opportunity to be a Guest Designer on their site.

You can visit my creations at http://scrapaholicissa.blogspot.com/ Happy Scrapping Everyone!
