Please give a big Pencil Line's welcome to the fabby Jessi Lute who is this week's Guest Design Team member. Today's sketch has been provided by our very own and lovely Trish Reed .
Here are Jessi's thoughts: "I am a 29 year old SAHM to 3 children. My son, Dakota, is 6; my daughter, Haillee, is 4; and my baby girl, Delainey, is a year old...and they definitely keep me busy and are most definitely my biggest inspiration!!! I am married to a pretty cool guy, Jason, who may harrass me about my scrapbook addiction...but he loves it just the same!!!
I have been scrapbooking for just over 5 years, teach classes at my LSS, and love the creative outlet it provides me. I love that I can combine art and stories and create something unique for my family...and generations to treasure for years to come! I love that it is something that is a continual process of change and learning...I love that it brings people across the world together...I love that there is so much inspiration and love shared by this art. Simply put...I just love scrapbooking!
Thanks so much to the pencil lines team in giving me the opportunity to play with one their sketches!!! I think this site is such a great idea for inspiration and have scene some amazing layouts posted here every week!!! Thanks again..it was a total blast!!!"

Ooh, am I the first to do it? I'll tell you, I found this very challenging, there is definately a skill in cutting thos wavy strips so they sit jut right without covering up your photo too much, I'm sure it's the hardest one I've done so far.
Fab challenge thanks Trish, (I like a challenge!) and I love all the DT's work, all so different and clever.
My attempt is here.
