Sketch #119

Good Morning Creative Scrappers,

How are you? I am assuming you are busy unpacking from summer vacations, getting kids ready for school, and maybe printing this weeks sketch for your next layout?!!

This week we have a sketch from Nicole and our featured designer is Martine Labelle from Montreal Canada! Thanks to Nicole we have a sketch with 3 photos this week!!!

Hi there,

My name is Martine Labelle and I am from Montreal, in Quebec, Canada. I share my life with my boyfriend, my three cats, and more scrappy supplies than I’ll ever be able to use!

I was bitten by the scrapping bug in 2005, after my first trip to Europe. (I started dabbling in 1998 when I was living in Alaska, but I think I shopped more than I scrapped during that time! ;). I have always loved photos and crafty things, so when I discovered scrapbooking, it seemed like the perfect hobby for me!

I love scrappy supplies, especially clear stamps and patterned paper! In fact, I don’t often use cardstock on my pages because I love all those pretty papers too much! I love distressing, inking and layering on my layouts. I love finding just the right papers to match my photos and the right embellies to balance everything out. But most of all, I love the escape that scrapbooking allows me.

You can visit me anytime at www.scrapcatslove.blogspot.com

I am so excited and honoured to be part of today’s reveal! I hope you all play along as well with this wonderful sketch!

Sketch #118

Good Morning Creative Scrappers,

We have an AMAZING reveal for you today! Tons of Banners and fabulous colors for you . I am sure you'll get TONS of new ideas and inspiration today. Our sketch is designed by me, Kristine and our guest is Helena Virpi from Italy.

I hope you enjoy our reveal and I can't wait to see what you do with this sketch ;-)

"Hi everyone! My name is Helena Virpi and I'm Finnish even though I've been living in Italy for thepast 30 years, practically since I met my hubby on a high school field trip on Rome. We have threewonderful children, Kristina 27, Valentina 25 and our "lil" one, Andrea who is 12.

I discovered scrapbooking in 2005 and was hooked right away. For me it's a perfect hobby: I can express myself, it's a way of preserving memories for the future generations even though I have to admit that I scrapbook for the pure pleasure of creating. Scrapbooking is also therapeutic. I also love photography so scrapbooking combines these two loves of mine perfectly.

Creative Scrappers is one of my favorite places to turn to since I love sketches. A big thank you to Kristine for asking me to create a layout based on of her sketches."

Hugs Helena

Sketch #117

Good Morning Creative Scrappers,

Sorry for the delay in posting today. I was away for the weekend and didn't have time to prepare my post on Friday. This week we have a sketch from July and our featured designer is Anna Sigga from Iceland!

Hi everyone.

I am Anna Sigga and I live in Reykjavik, Iceland along with my fiance and out two little girls - 2.5 years and 8 months old.

I have been srapbooking since January 2005 and I haven't been able to tear myself from my scrap-room since! :D I love the creative process and photography so this hobby has given me even more reasons to take pics of friends and family.

I love working with sketches and the Creative Scrappers sketchers are always fun and inspiring. Kristine - thank you so much for having me as your guest.
