Please give a big Pencil Line's welcome to the lovely Stephanie Hamen who is our Guest Artist this week and who also provided this lovely sketch to inspire you.
Here are a few words from Stephanie:
I am Stephenie Hamen and I am proud to be Fiskateer #003! I am one of Fiskars fab four founding Fiskateers and love every minute of it! I started young playing with paper. Whether it was making things from the scraps of ribbon and wrapping paper my Grandma Fetters kept, or playing office with note pads and phone message books, I have always had an affinity for anything paper. In college I made my first scrapbook - not that I would ever share it and often deny its existence... however, I got started and was hooked! It was after a trip to Colorado in 2001 that I really jumped in whole-hearted. With the birth of my kids, my passion was solidified and I have never looked back! I live in the northwest suburbs of Chicago in the US, am the mother of two wonderful boys, Owen and Jacob, a wife to Matt, a full-time teacher in Deaf Education, and a part-time Fiskateer. I also do some freelance design work for My Kits and Pieces as well. I have loved all of my new adventures in scrapbooking and feel consistently blessed by the fun, creativity, and opportunities that I have had in the scrapbooking world. When Annie asked me to be a guest blogger, I was floored - I was just going to donate a little bit of product! I am a huge fan of this site and have stalked it for months. When I need inspiration, this is the first site I come to because of the sketches and amazing work that I can see here. Thank you so much for having me and Happy Scrapping!Fiskars have kindly donated this weeks RAK, so don't forget to email us your artwork for a chance to win some gorgeous Fiskar's goodies!
Here is this weeks layouts.

But I've also sended it in...
I normally never scrap with more then 2 pictures so this was a real challange... I've combined it with the Elsie 6 challange... Create a ribbon cluster
Many greetings and already looking forward till next Sunday. :D

Here is my layout using the sketch. I loved it. I'm not used to layering that much so it was a fun challenge for me.
