June Card Guest Designer

Please join me in welcoming our June Card Guest Designer Sara!

Hi my name is Sara I was born in the late 70s, married and mother of two sons who are the light of my eyes ... The taste for art remote generations old family ... but were the numbers they gave me the job.  Motherhood made ​​me rethink the designs of my existence and behold I could give life to my childhood dreams ...

I love crafts in general and I experienced everything that fascinates me .... But when I discovered Scrapbooking, I met a veritable explosion of information ... to adopt to improve, to create within my true passion ... the Cardmaking.  Besides the possibility of creating something, Cardmaking allows me to highlight my personality of person who enjoys a certain nostalgia for the tastes and traditional worshiping and remembering the past and worry about memorizing moments to remember in the future of mother that wants to transmit moments passed on to future generations, particularly their children. That's where the magic of Cardmaking ...  With full awareness of my limitations in this wide world, I thirst for learning and creating always with great affection and dedication, carving my papers, giving meaning to my soul ...

I consider myself a restless creature that constantly seeks perfection ....

I love paper, I love the vintage and shabby chic style and the colors that fascinate me are the pink, blue and brown, though I love all the colors in general . My favorite papers are Papermania, Authentique and Prima. I love charms, doilies and lace.

I love embossing and I'm starting with mix media!!! 

I love create, and bring to the paper my love, my thoughts, and my style!

Here is the wonderful card Sara did for us based off of yesterday's sketch. I'm loving the blue and white paper she used and the buttons are a fabulous touch!

Thanks for sharing Sara!

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!
