July Card Guest Designer

We're here today with our July Card Guest Designer Karen! 

I'm Karen Seifert,  I live in middle Tennessee with my husband, dog, & 5 cats. I have been card making for about 17 years, and I use both rubber stamps, and digital images.  I love participating in challenges because it gets me out of my creative rut, and encourages me to try new things.  I send cards to friends, family, Sunshine Mail, and Operation Write Home.  Sunshine Mail sends care packages to children in need, including hospitals, homeless shelters, and foster care.  You can find more info here:

http://www.sunshinemail.org/
  Operation Write Home sends handmade cards to U.S. service men and women. You can find more info here: 
http://operationwritehome.org/

Its fun to be able to do something you love, and brighten someones day.  Here is the card Karen did for the July 5th sketch challenge:

What a wonderful card! I love the banners and how she added just the right amount of red with the one banner, twine and stars.

Now let's keep the celebration going by announcing our Featured Layout and Card designers for the month of June. First, the June's Featured Layout designer!  This month our DT picked Nathalie!  Here is the layout Nathalie submitted -

We love Nathalie's use of the sketch, especially her bold background that serves as the base of her eye catching layout. The other colors work so well with the background and the photos just Pop! off of the page. Great work Nathalie, Congrats and thanks a bunch for joining us!

Next we have our Featured card designer and our design team picked Kerys!

I am always amazed at how much pizazz and style that stitching and in Kery's case hand stitching, adds to a card and this lovely creation is no exception. With such beautiful work and lovely color palette I am sure anyone would love to receive such a special card.  Congratulations Kerys and thanks so much for joining us!

July Layout Guest Designer

Please join me in welcoming our July Guest Designer Stacia

Hi!! My name is Stacia Brandt and I am excited to be Guest Designing this month for Sketch n Scrap.  I’m the mother of 2 children, Alyson, age 10 and Rilen, age 8 months.  Currently, I’m a SAHM.  I love being home with my children and watching them growing.  We also have a Pitbull named Roxy. 

I’ve been scrapbooking since 2002 while I was pregnant with my daughter.  I had previously been an avid cross-stitcher. While pregnant, I had a lot of pain in my wrists and fingers and couldn’t hold a needle…. But, I found that I could scrapbook.  This was back when there was nothing available but paper and stickers; and I immediately fell in love with the hobby.  Here I am, 11 years later, still scrapping away.

I’ve been a member of 5 design teams and have recently started my own blog challenge.  I’ve been published in Scrapbook News and Review and will have a layout featured in the November/December issue of Creating Keepsakes.  I also have ventured into the world of Etsy by opening my own shop and having my own scrapbook service website.

I hope that you enjoy the layouts I have created for this month’s challenges.  I enjoyed working with the sketches and hope that you will be inspired by my pages!

Here is Stacia's layout for the July 1st Sketch Challenge.:

Check out all of that detail! The pen lines around the letters and embellishments really help them stick out. Not to mention the splatter and stamping! A beautiful layout to go with the wonderful photos!
