We love Denise's use of the sketch, especially the fantastic photos, colors and way that she incorporated the embellishments into the sketch!  The way she used the spellbinders dies to mount each photo was a creative way to accent each photo. Great work Denise, Congrats and thanks a bunch for joining us!

How could the design team resist the bright and bold colors of this card against the black background. Awesome use of the sketch! Congratulations Alicia and thanks so much for joining us!

August Layout Guest Designer

Please join me in welcoming our August Layout Guest Designer!

Hello, I’m Jennifer Reilly and I’m so excited to be a guest designer for Sketch-n-Scrap!  I’m a work at home mom to two amazing boys – Liam and Collin – who are my inspiration. They have taught me so much about patience and strength, and they remind me every day how important it is to appreciate every moment. I scrapbook the good with the bad, because it’s all part of our story, and it’s my scrap-therapy! You can see more of my creations at: www.myreillyboysandme.blogspot.com

Here is the beautiful layout she came up with based on yesterday's sketch:

The colors are wonderful, I love how she layered multiple pieces of paper! And that Preschool banner is a lot of fun!

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.
