Sketch 100!!!

Hi everyone,

What a milestone we have reached, this week is sketch 100, not only have we been inspiring you with 100 sketches, but all the Pencil Lines DT, old and new have reunited for this special week.

So lets give a big Pencil Lines welcome to this weeks Guest Designer Kelli Crowe, who also provided this weeks sketch.

Here's what Kelli had to say: 

Hi!  My name is Kelli Crowe.
I am an outgoing introvert.
A messy organizer. An avid reader...of the same books over and over. My closets are clean but my house is a mess.
A simple and cluttered scrapbooker.
And did I mention I'm married to a very patient man?
I love scrapbooking and have been thrilled to work with
Autumn Leaves in their Designing With book series over the past 2 years. I am currently a Garden Girl at the web site Two Peas in a Bucket.
But mostly, I spend my time homeschooling my 3 boys,
traveling with my husband and looking for my keys.  And
watching TV.  Is that ok to admit?
Thanks for having me here:)!

Please give a big Pencil Lines welcome to this weeks Guest Designer, Mellette Berezoski. Our very own Anna Bowkis provided this weeks sketch.

Here's what Mellette Berezoski had to say:

 

Hi there! My name is Mellette Berezoski and I am so honored to be this week’s guest designer. I have been designing in the scrapbook industry for almost six years now and still love it. I am very proud to be part of the Autumn Leaves Design Team. I am also excited to be part of the Scrapbooks Etc. 2009 All-Star Creative Team. I consider myself blessed and fortunate to have been given opportunities to work with some of the industry’s most talented and inspiring companies; Making Memories, Creating Keepsakes, Chatterbox, Two Peas in a Bucket, KI Memories, Deluxe Designs, and Junkitz. Recently, I opened up my own online shop on Etsy, creating handmade paper crafts and embellishments. I love creating, experimenting, and getting my hands dirty!

I live in Texas with my sweet husband, Joe, and my two loving children, Maysie and Dayton. When I’m not scrapbooking or creating products for my Etsy shop, I live a very simple and quite honestly, pretty boring life. I love spending time with my family, especially family movie nights and slumber parties with my sister. I also enjoy sewing, reading, writing in my journals, and watching my favorite TV show, Lost.

Please stop by and visit me on my blog or my  Etsy Shop . Thank you, Pencil Lines, for the opportunity to contribute to such an inspiring and unique site!

This week's sketch is sponsored by Jenni Bowlin.  Each member of the DT received an amazing kit packed full of her well known and well loved products.  For many years Jenni Bowlin has offered incredible monthly paper crafting and project kits and well as limited edition kits.  She is also the creator of an amazing paper line as well as many other "must have" paper crafting products.  Be sure to check out  Jenni Bowlin Studio.

Sketch 98

  Please give a big Pencil Lines welcome to this weeks Guest Designer, Mou Saha. Our very own Anna Bowkis provided this weeks sketch.

Here's what Mou had to say:

I am a stay-at-home mom to my two kids and married to Ashis for 8 years. I am from India and been living in the US for as long as I have been married. After my first was born, I shelved my career in Clinical Psychology and Counseling and eventually filled the emptiness with scrapbooking. I love to experiment with products and techniques. My biggest support are my kiddos who don't mind me chasing them around with a camera...well, most of the time! I also like to paint, read, watch movies and sharing bits and pieces of my daily life in my blog.

Sketch 97

Please give a big Pencil Lines welcome to Shiho Okamoto. This weeks sketch was provided by our own Anna Bowkis.

Here is what Shiho had to say :

Hi everyone!  My name is Shiho Okamoto and I am living
in Japan.
I have been married over 10 years to my loving hubby
Naoki and my adorable daughter Rinka is 5 years old.
Let me tell you how our life is so filled with
laughter!

I encountered Scrapbooking when my daughter was 1
years old and it has grown into my ease from busy
house work and nursing.  I am now almost obsessed
;)!! and just love to turn those pages back and feel
my daughter's growth.

I am a proud member of the design team for
scrapaholic! -http://scrapaholic.jp -  (this is
Ikuko's shop who was guest DT for #35 sketch).

Thank you Pencil Lines for your continuous
inspiration every week and you guys are the talk of
MONDAYs here in Japan!
Keep rocking;p)!

Sketch 96

Please give a big Pencil Lines welcome to Hebe Ambler who also provided this weeks sketch.

Here's what Hebe had to say:

I'm Hebe, married with four children aged between four and eleven. I run a parent and toddler group called Sticky Fingers four sessions a week and do other voluntary work for church. Designing and preparing craft for over 200 pre-schoolers a week certainly is a challenge which I love. I've always enjoyed craft and mostly made cards before 2004 when I discovered scrapbooking. It was instantly perfect for me as it combined so many of the crafts that I enjoyed as well as photography. I still like to make cards and other projects especially now that there are so many amazing products on the market. Winning The Scrapbook Magazine's Scrapbooker of the Year and Best of British Scrapbooking in 2005/6 was a real privilege and opened up opportunities to contribute to The Scrapbook Magazine and other craft magazines.

Apart from crafting, I love to read and watch musicals with my kids and then we sing and dance all our favourite songs. My other great passion is ballroom and latin dancing. 

With this sketch I wanted to leave space to be creative simply for the fun of it.  I tend to carefully plan all my projects, though I'd love to loosen up and not care so much about how the end result looks. I challenge you to dig deep and get really creative with this sketch.
