Sketch #5

Please give a HUGE PencilLines welcome to this week's Artist - the Wonderful Ali Edwards. Anyone who’s familiar with Ali Edwards knows her style – a popular blend of clean graphics with fresh color combinations, warm photography, and Ali’s signature handwritten journaling. The sketch is based on Ali's "Today You" mini album and is so versatile.

 
 
   
 

 

Ali Edwards is a fantastic Life Artist who is also the author of A Designer's Eye For Scrapbooking and A Designer's Eye For Scrapbooking With Patterned Paper.  Ali can be found at her Blog and in the Creating Keepsakes Magazine. 

My name for scrapbookers/creative people who are into celebrating life through art: life artist! "Scrapbooker" just doesn't cut it - it is so much more than that name implies. life artist it is.

So who is a life artist? Do you take photos of your family, yourself, your environment, your world? Do you tell stories? Do you bring them all together onto paper, into your computer, onto a canvas (or some other cool concoction)? Do you create art journals with all kinds of wonderfully interesting pieces of your life and thoughts and emotions? Do you celebrate your life through your art? 

You are a life artist. I am a life artist. And man, I love it.
