Please give a big Pencil Line's welcome to the talented Lucy Chesna who is joining us this week as our Guest Design Team member and Celine provided this sketch for this week's Challenge.
Here's a few words from Lucy: "Hi, my name is Lucy Chesna and I am from Billerica, Massachusetts (USA). I am married to my best friend for 11 years and we have two beautiful children. I am SAHM and love every minute of it!
I am completely addicted to scrapbooking, message boards and sketches. I started scrapbooking right after my son was born in 1998 but got into it more in 2001, when my daughter was born and the rest is history. I got into my first message board in 2002 and I got hooked. The sketches started in 2004 when I had to create a sketch for a contest, I didn’t win but it opened the flood gates to more sketches eventually to my own sketch blog this year.
I have been very fortunate to be surrounded by talent ladies in the past few years and I thank them for inspiring me every day. I am owner and designer of my own scrapbook community Memories from Scrap. I am currently DT for The Kits Meow, Scrapbook Doodle and Crop-a-Latte, Happy Scrappin Scrapbooking and Treasures to Scrap. I am a Sketch Designer for Scrapbook Oasis and Serendipity Kits. I have collaborated with Di Hickman and created sketches for Sisterhood of Scrap.
I have my own sketch blog called My Sketch World that I post weekly sketches and have layout examples from The Sketch World Divas. You can find more of my work at my blog.
I would love to say thank you to all the girls at Pencil Lines for giving me this wonderful opportunity to take part in this awesome site."
There is more from Lucy…. Lucy has teamed up with Tracey at The Kits Meow to provide an extra special prize this week of an Altered Kit for their favourite Reader's Gallery Layout. So make sure you email us your layout for this sketch by next Sunday.
Also Lucy has teamed up with Yvonne at ScrapbookDoodle to sponsor August's Favourite Reader's Gallery by providing a fabby scrapbooking kit so make sure you create from the sketches for August and get the layouts into here by the 2nd of September.
so big thanks to Yvonne @ ScrapbookDoodle and Tracey @ The Kits Meow for their generous sponsorship and don't forget that all prizes will be shipped worldwide!
and here is this week's gorgeous artwork:
Don't forget to check back on Wednesday for The Design Team Favourite Reader's Layout for July.
If you want to be in a chance for August's Reader's Favourite Layout, make sure you email us your layouts. Have fun & Create.
