Please give a huge Pencil Line's welcome to the fabby Stephanie Howell who is joining us this week as our Guest Design Team member and who provided this sketch for this week's Challenge.
Here's a few words from Stephanie: "Hi! I'm Stephanie Howell. I live in Texas with Jimmy, my husband, and Harper Elizabeth, my one year old. Jimmy is a Captain in the Army. We have been married 4 years and have lived in TX, NY, WA, GA, and now back to TX!! What a life. But he is my hero, and I'm grateful he's in my life.
I started seriously scrapbooking when I found out I was pregnant with Harper. It has since become a lifesaver. It has gotten me through several deployments, one when I was heavily pregnant. Who knew scrapping could keep your blood pressure down? I try to do something creative every day. Of course I love preserving memories, but the bottom line is, it makes me happy. And it is a blessing.
I would say my style is shabby chic with an edge. Journaling is very important to me. I have never had a layout without journaling…always handwritten. I want my children to know the stories behind the photos. I design for Cocoa Daisy Kits as well as Webster's Pages. You can visit my blog to see more of my work.
I'm thrilled to design this sketch for pencil lines! Can't wait to see what y'all do with my sketch!!"
