Sketch 104

Please give a big Pencil Lines welcome to this weeks guest designer Dawn Inskip. Dawn also provided this weeks sketch.

Here's what Dawn had to say:

Hi, I'm Dawn Inskip and I'm honoured to be guest designer for Pencil Lines this week.  I've been an avid crafter for as long as I can remember, but 'found' scrapbooking about 6 years ago and very quickly became hooked.  I've been published in several craft magazines and publications, the most recent being Scrapbook PageMaps  - by my friend and ultra talented Becky Fleck.

A little over a year ago, I started digital scrapbooking and loved the flexibility and totally different way of creating memories… this lead to me selling my products online, which has now grown to three stores; my main store is Natural Designs in Scrapbooking. I've never
worked so hard for so little, but never have I had so much fun.  Doodling is my passion and much of this spills out into my digital kits. I'm also excited to be going back to my roots and starting crops in my home town, with Sue from Crafty Stash…  we'll be providing unique kits, to include products which will only be available to crop attendees on the day, in a fun and relaxing atmosphere.  It's exciting to be able to mix both digital and paper scrapping.

I live in Bedfordshire, England with my patient and understanding hubby Paul, our precious daughter Carly, who's just turned 17 and a handful of pets.  When I'm not scrapbooking, I'll be spending time relaxing with family and friends, at a local zoo or wildlife park or in front of the TV watching anything falling into the 'reality TV' bracket or something spooky!

You can visit my blog for a giggle and a little inspiration.  Thank you for having me here.

Please give a big Pencil Lines welcome to this weeks Guest Designer, Becky Novacek.

Here's what Becky had to say:

I have been scrapbooking in some form since high school, and for the past 5 years, I’ve really gotten into it, and I can’t go for more than a few days without creating something! I’m on the Autumn Leaves, Fiskars and Melissa Frances Design Teams, as well as the website, ScrapinStyleTV. I am so thankful for the opportunities I’ve had through this hobby to do what I love and to meet such amazing people who I now call friends! I’m married to the most supportive man in the world, Tom and between us we have 4 grown children, 8 grandchildren and 2 goofy dogs.
