Sketch #175

Good Morning Creative Scrappers!

WOOT WOOT! Sketch 175 today ;-) that's a milestone isn't it?! We are getting soooo close to 200... only 25 more weeks LOL! We have a great sketch for you today and hopefully this will give you a little motivation to create today !

Don't forget we currently have a sketch team call that ends on Sep 30th and our next CT Call goes out tomorrow ;-)

Happy Sunday and enjoy our reveal!

Hello! My name is Jennifer Shaw. I live in Alberta, Canada with my husband and three pups. I have two grown daughters.

I started scrapbooking in 2000 but it wasn't until I discovered the wonderful world of sketches in 2009 that my passion became a full on obsession. My style is simple with attention to detail. I love to hand stitch on my layouts. Buttons and lots of layering are also a must! Paper is my favourite scrapping supply. My favourite manufacturer changes from season to season depending on the releases. I enjoy a variety of styles from vintage to whimsical.

I love that scrapbooking encourages me to take lots of photographs and to get the story recorded. Layouts that capture every day moments make me happy! My other interests in life include knitting, reading and cross stitching. These things have taken a back seat lately as I pursue my scrappy dreams! :)

I would like to thank Kristine for having me this week!

Sketch #174

Hello Creative Scrappers!

Good Morning!!!! How are things?
We have SKETCH 174 today, and it was created by Jill!

Enjoy the reveal today ;-)

My name is Helen Tilbury & I live in Durban, South Africa, with my scrap-tolerant husband Shane & our four children – Chelsea (18), Jack (16), Reilly (13) and Cami (11). I love all things paper-related & am also a keen photographer. I’ve been paper-crafting for 8 years now & am showing no signs of stopping any time soon! In fact I have enough stash to start a store so I’m going to be scrapping the rest of my life just to get my money’s worth out of it J

When I’m not taking photos, scrapbooking or blogging I’m doing stuff with the kids, taking them to their activities & extra lessons, sports matches or sleepovers! I love connecting with other bloggers from all over the world & love that I have a huge bunch of online friends & hope to travel the world one day & visit them all.

When I’m not pursuing my passions or doing my “mum” job I love to relax with a magazine & eat a delicious meal prepared by my hubs, who is a great chef…yes! I’m a lucky girl!!

You can find my blog @ http://helentilbury.blogspot.com.

Sketch #173

Good Morning Creative Scrappers!

Enjoy SKETCH 173 today!

I’m honored Kristine asked me and I hope you will get inspired by my LO.

I’m Michelle Buijsman, I’m 29 years old, I live with my boyfriend and my three cats in Diemen (a place in Holland next to Amsterdam) and I work in the laboratory of a hospital pharmacy.

I’m scrapbooking since 2007. My favorite subjects are my cats, my nieces and nephews.
When I’m scrapbooking it’s really me-time. I can sit at my scrap space for a couple of hours without knowing that time goes by so fast.
I like to use a lot of different styles when I’m scrapping. I love to make tough LO’s, but also vintage LO’s I like.

You can see my work on my blog:

Regards,
Michelle

Sketch #172

Hello Creative Scrappers!

How are things? Getting ready for school days? Enjoying the labor day weekend?
We have SKETCH 172 today, and it was created by me!

Enjoy the reveal today ;-) and I'm looking for a few guest designers in case you are interested... Click Here for more info.

My name is Marie, and I'm in the late 20's. I live in Denmark, with my boyfriend in a small house with my dog and my 2 ferrets.

I love everything creative, scrapping, sewing and crochet is just some of the things I enjoy to do. I enjoy my garden and love to decorate our house.

I have been scrapping since the summer 2006. I like to explore and develop my scrapping style. It's an ongoing process that will never stop. One thing for sure is, I love everything with color, and you won't see me make a layout with brown colors!!!
