Sketch #32

Please give a great Pencil Line's welcome to the fabby Fiona Beckman who is joining us this week as our Guest Design Team member. Fiona has also provided this lovely Sketch for this week's Challenge.

Here's what Fiona had to say: "
Hello!  I'm Fiona Beckman, obsessive amateur photographer and mum to two very photogenic li'l girls who are filling up my hard drive and feature in about 90% of my layouts.  I started scrapping in March 2006, although I've always been a crafter of one type or another.  Since first dipping my toe in the water (or should that be ink?), it's taken over my life, and I now spend most of my time working on designs for ScrapaGoGo kits , the UK Speshal Dares Blog and The Design Collective, as well as inflicting crafty gifts on my friends and family.

I'm still finding my 'style' - I love to try new techniques and ideas - but most of my work includes handcutting, inks and stamps.  I've not used sketches much in the past but I really enjoyed coming up with a design for Pencil Lines, and found it a really useful experience creatively.  I can see that this won't be the last time I work with a sketch!  A huge thank you to the Pencil Line girls for inviting me over to play :D "

You can see more of Fiona' s gorgeous work on the above mentioned sites or her personal Blog . Also everyone at Pencil Lines would also like to congratulate Fiona on winning the 2007 "Scrapbooker of the Year" run by The Scrapbook Magazine (UK), where you can find more of Fiona's work in print as she joins their Design Team.

Thanks so much for offering the pdf files of your earlier sketches. I am just starting to use them as inspiration for my layouts. I have included a link above to the layout that I created with Sketch 32.
