Sketch #49

Please give a big Pencil Line's welcome to the lovely Jeanette Herdman from Scrap in Style TV (SiSTV) who sponsored the Design Team this week and this week's sketch challenge is by Pencil Line's very own Jolene Pienaar.

Here's a few words from Jeanette about 'Style' and Scrap in Style TV:" "Style" is all about being confident in who you are and how you express that. It's not about using the trendiest techniques or just emulating someone else's expression of themselves. Don't get me wrong, I'm all about finding inspiration through others, but ultimately, you want to take that inspiration and put your own twist on it so that it becomes yours.

Don't be afraid of the creative choices you want to make…no one will judge you at Scrap in Style TV. I have a friend who once said, "You know, I just want to be able to use Suzy's Zoo stickers on a page once in a while without people making fun of me!" Well darn it, we don't ever want people to feel like that here! I'm not trying to create some elitist clique of scrapbookers. High school is over people! My biggest hope is that you come to us and feel welcomed by our design team and the other SISters.

Whether you have been scrapbooking for half your life or you just got your first roll of film developed in ten years and thought you might try preserving them in some way, the point is to get you excited about creating. Period. I truly believe that we are all driven to create in some way. Now, this may offend some people, but I want to be true to who I am here, and when someone says to me "Oh, I'm just not creative." I respond to them by saying, "I believe that we were all created in the image of God. God created the universe, so how can you say you're not creative?" That's just simple algebra! If a=b and b=c, then a=c, or whatever…I was never really good at algebra. But you get my point, right?

Keeping memories is important, and doing it with style is important too, because when you apply your style to your pages, they are going to mean so much more to you and to the generations after you."

The Pencil Lines Design Team would like to thank Jeanette & Scrap in Style TV for their generous sponsorship of the team for this weeks sketch with Scrap In Style's "I *heart* Candy Town' Kits by Adrienne Looman.
