August Card Guest Designer

Today we have our August Guest Designer Stacy Harper-Watson!

I am Stacy Harper-Watson and I live in sunny Las Vegas, Nevada .  I am a stay at home mom to 5 fun and crazy kids.  They range in age from 6 to 14.  I am lucky to have been married to my best friend for the last 20 years.  And I am luckier still to have found my passion….and that passion is scrapping.  I have always been a crafter but it was only 6 years ago that I found what I really loved to do!  Scrapping lets me record our family history for this and future generations, it lets me make cards and homemade paper crafts to share with friends and family and it gives me a chance to be a little creative each day.  I just love it so much!!  And I am excited to be able to share some of my creativity with you here at Sketch-n-Scrap.  I would love to have you visit me on my personal blog at http://scrapwithstacy.blogspot.com.   

Isn't Stacy's card adorable! Love that owl. Also inking the edges of the paper in black really makes the layers stand out.

 

Thanks for sharing your wonderful card with us!

August Layout Guest Designer

Please join me in welcoming our August Guest Designer Hee Sun Kim.

My name is Hee Sun Kim.

I live in Seoul, Korea with my father, mother and an older brother.

I found such a beautiful handmade card on the Internet while searching for collage techniques and images I could use to decorate my personal planner. I was very much surprised to find out that there were so many people in the world making cards. I am enjoying this craft to this day! I am seeking a unique and vintage mixed media. To express the feeling, I have used many materials and made various attempts. I am continuously seeking inspiration, making an effort to share it, teaching students every day and making works.

Above all, I found a joy of my life through this crafts so that I am happy to share it.

Hee Sun Kim's layout is absolutely beautiful! I love the subtle colors and the rich colors in the photos. The embellishments are wonderful as well, I especially love the title piece.
