July Card Guest Designer

Join me in welcoming our Guest Designer Angela! 

My name is Angela and I am a paper crafting girl! I love to make cards, create layouts and even some home décor items. I have been scrapbooking for about 16 years and love it! It is a creative outlet for me when I just want to relax and take my mind off of other things. If I had to pick what style of a crafter I was, I would say clean and simple. I like a “neat” look to my creations. (I guess that is the OCD in me!) I live in Colorado with my sweet husband who supports me 100% and my 4 wonderful kids. When I am not crafting I enjoy spending time with my family, being silly with my friends, shopping with my mom, and serving in my church. Something you may not know about me is that I just went on my first hot air balloon ride recently and loved it! What a feeling it was to be up off the ground and to see the beautiful earth in a whole new way! I would definitely recommend it!  

 Isn't Angela's card beautiful! I love the turquoise card and the bright colors she added to it.

Thanks Angela!

July Layout Guest Designer

 Today I have our July Guest Designer Jean!

HI! My name is Jean and I am so excited to be here at Sketch N Scrap! I started scrapping when my daughter was in middle school (late 90s) and began dancing and playing sports. I scrapped those memories using cardstock, stickers and deco scissors!  I have always saved tickets, programs and other memorabilia to include in the albums.  In  the past several years I have learned about Mixed Media and it has begun to creep over into my scrapping. I love adding texture with modeling paste and  color with paint or ink. My style has evolved so much over the years. One thing I have always loved is sketches!  They provide the perfect spark for completing a layout.  This sketch was perfect for the wedding shower we just had for my daughter. I enjoyed layering and tilting the papers!  Thank you for allowing me to showcase this wonderful sketch! Please feel free to stop by my blog    http://pagesintime.blogspot.com/.

Wow! Where do I begin? Jean's layout is beautiful! The papers, the flowers... I love the hearts on the side where she inked a line to connect them. What fun!

Thanks for sharing this wonderful layout with us Jean!
