June Layout Guest Designer

Today we have our June Guest Designer Henva

My name is Henva Medlow and I am so excited to be the Sketch and Scrap Guest Designer for the month of June!  I am an Elementary School Principal by day and a wife, mother of 3 and scrapbook enthusiast 24/7.  We live in Fresno, TX, a very small suburb of Houston.

I've been scrapbooking now for 12 years and spend the majority of my free time creating layouts, mini albums and participating in swaps.  I describe my style as "shabby chic" as I like to doodle and tear, yet I really like "clean" lines and designs.  For this reason, I absolutely love working with sketches.  They help me to get a lot of work done!  My goal for this year is to do a lot more scrapping of myself...something I don't do enough of!  Typically, my layouts are of my children (as well as other people's childern) and my husband.  I turn 40 next month, so I should have PLENTLY of "me" projects to work on.

Check out Henva's wonderful layout! I'm loving the torn sides and the hand drawn border.

Thanks so much Henva!

Inspire us!

One of our new features at Sketch N Scrap this year was the addition of a third layout sketch each month. This new sketch isn't just any old sketch but rather it is a sketch that is based on a layout that "inspired" our sketch artists.  We receive daily inspiration from our readers and participants as well as our lovely and talented DT members, and what better way to showcase all the inspiring talent then basing a sketch on one of their creations!  So far we have based our sketches on our DT's creations, but today we are changing that up and letting "YOU" our readers be the inspiration behind the "Inspired by" sketch for July!!!!
Here is how to play along:
1)  Link up below an ORIGINAL layout- your layout must be an original (created by you), not scraplifted from another person, not created based a sketch.  Your layout does not need to be new or never before seen, just an original design that is your own.
2) Deadline for this challenge is June 20th at midnight CST
3) Winner will be selected by a vote of our Senior DT here at Sketch N Scrap
4) Winner will be contacted by June 22nd and given further details at that time
5) If you are the chosen winner you are agreeing to allow us to make a sketch based on the layout you submit, we will use this as our July INSPIRED BY sketch
6) Winner agrees to prepare a blog post for July 10th that will showcase their layout the sketch is based on, on their blog (You must have a blog to enter this challenge, no Flicker or gallery postings will be allowed)
7) YOU MUST PROVIDE A LINK BACK TO SKETCH N SCRAP in your blog post when linking up
If you have questions please email us at sketchnscrap@gmail.com
Happy creating!  We can't wait to see what you create!
