Sketch N Scrap #41

Hello everyone and welcome to the middle of September and a brand new sketch challenge! We are loving the creative layouts and cards we have already seen uploaded to the blog this month and look forward to even more inspiration as we go further into September. I was thinking a little more simplified when creating this sketch but am truly amazed by the elaborate layouts of our Design Team! That is the beauty of sketches is to see all the variety of creativity and boy do we have that for you this time! So warm up a cup of coffee or your favorite beverage and relax as you browse through all of the awesome inspiration!

September Card Guest Designer

Please join me in welcoming our September Card Guest Designer, Susan Renshaw 

 I have been a crafty lady all my life - but these days I think I am
addicted! It is hard to stop me adding to my stash, or trying a new
technique, or just playing with my favorite things! I am a mother of 4 and
grandmother of 3  - my three sons and grandchildren live in Australia, so I
am a frequent visitor there. My daughter lives in the UK and that is where I
am at the moment. Fifteen years ago, my husband and I left the UK and became
expats, living first in Australia, then Hong Kong, then Abu Dhabi - we have
recently left there and are about to set off on a new adventure! Because I
have followed my husband's work, my jobs have been many and varied - but I
retired (again) from teaching last year. I am happy wherever we are as long
as I have my craft room!!

And check out this beautiful card Susan made based off of the September 5th sketch. I love the monochromatic look, with the just the subtle hints of white and yellow.

Thanks Susan!
