Hi there and welcome to our 2nd Inspired By challenge. In case you missed our first one, the way it works is we choose a layout that we are Inspired By and turn it into a sketch.

Feburary Card Guest Designer

Please join me in welcoming our February Card Guest Designer Bev Code.

Daughter, wife, mother and gramma who is retired and loving it. Love scrapbooking along with all the fun things that it entails with online friends, forums and FB. The learning process has been fun and interesting too. Also love needlepoint, sewing, knitting, crochet and taking lots of photos. Family and friends are the subjects of my scrapping.

Bev did this wonderful card based off our sketch from yesterday and it is just beautiful! I love the embellishments and the papers are just darling! That little bit of glittery bling adds just the right touch too. Thanks Bev!

February Layout Guest Designer

Today we have our February Layout Guest Designer Stacia. 

Hello all!! My name is Stacia Brandt and I am happy to be joining you this month as the guest designer.  I’m the mother of two children, one boy and one girl.  I currently stay at home with my kids, but look forward to returning to the working world when my little one goes to kindergarten in 4 years.  I’m married to my wonderful husband, Keith for 2 years now and besides the kids, we have a pitbull named Roxy. 

I’ve been scrapbooking since the time of thin patterned paper and “sticker sneezes”.....So, that means for over 12 years!  I have grown and moved along with the hobby.  I love being artistic while being able to save the memories for my family and generations to come. I think my style is graphic, fun and bold! I love bright colors and patterns and generally just “fun” pages! I hope that you enjoy the layouts I am sharing this month! You can come visit me at www.scrapstuffzbystacia.blogspot.com   Thank you so much for having me!!!

Check out this wonderful layout Stacia did for us! I am loving all of the detail with the pen work, bakers twine and ink splattering. Not to mention that cutie that takes center stage on her layout. Thanks Stacia for a great page!
