Sketch 113

Please give a big Pencil Lines welcome to this weeks guest artist, Ingvild Bolme, who also supplied this weeks sketch.

Here is what Ingvild had to say:

My name is Ingvild Bolme, also called Spinnvild, and I am so honored to be Pencil Lines guest today! I really love Pencil Lines and their sketches, so this is a opportunity that I appreciate very much!
I'm a Norwegian scrapper and lucky mom to two year old girl named Iselina, that I have together with my dear Esben. They both are my favorite scrapping objects ;-) I first discovered scrapbooking for the very first time in March 2006. But in 2006 I had a busy life, so I didn't have much time to scrap at all. But after I gave birth to Iselina I found out more about scrapbooking.  I then discovered all the great possibilities with scrapbook, and really started scrapbook for real in March-April 07 and have been TOTALLY addicted since! And wow, what a life it has been! ;-) I became the Norwegian Champion in scrapbook 07! I was in shock for months!  
To describe me and my scrapbook style... I'm a maximalist, just love to embellish and LOVE all the details! I am addicted to details, love to put my heart and my soul into my work, and I have tons of patience and can use hours and hours on every single work. Usual I let the picture lead me to pick style and the chose of colours, but I am weak for the vintage and romantic style.  

I am honoured to be on the DT for Prima, Scrapbook Outbooks and Bad Girls Kits
If anyone would like to follow my work, I post it all on my blog. I appreciate all visits and would love to see you in there ;-)
Wish you all a fabulous day and hope you like my sketch, good luck! ;-) *hugs!

Sketch 112

Please give a big Pencil Lines welcome to Claire Wheatley, this weeks guest designer. Our very own Michelle provided this weeks sketch.

Here is what Claire had to say:

Hi all, I'm Claire Wheatley a mother of two young children form the UK.
I have been scrapbooking for 3-4 years now and this has also led to a passion for photography which I am keen to develop!
 
As a child I was hooked on art but unfortunately as I grew up and started a family like most mums time becomes very limited, so scrapbooking now provides that creative outlet for me.
I currently design for  Crafty Stash and enjoy helping Sue choose lots of the yummy products that she stocks in her shop!.
 
I am just starting up a new crop in my local area, along with my close friend Tracie Oakes who introduced me to scrapbooking.
I am really excited and looking forward to teaching classes, and sharing ideas with many new friends.
 
Pencil Lines is such an inspirational site and I'm very honored to be invited to guest design with one of Michelle's lovely sketches.

Sketch 111

Please give a big Pencil Lines welcome to Sarah Jane Dowsett aka Scrappyfairy. Sarah also provided this weeks sketch.

Here is what Sarah had to say:

Hi, I am Sj *Sarah Jane for long*
I am 27 and a mother of one, to Finlay age one.
I have been crafting since I was small, but discovered scrapbooking in America when I briefly lived in Upstate New York. I scrapped my cat and hubby non stop till Finlay was born; now it's all about the boy!
 
I love scrapping in a freestyle way, and often find my style is to one side, with white space… I don't intentionally scrap this way, but it just happens!
I adore paint, and bling and lettering. I don't think I could scrap without alphabet stickers.
 
I am on various Design teams, including Fidgeons Crafts and The Dream Girls Blog.
I also have a range of funky clear stamps out with Kat Stamps which I LOVE doing!
I have a passion for robots Sci fi and cupcakes!
 
I am honoured to have been asked to guest spot for Pencil lines, it's a fabulous and inspirational blog, and I just hope you like my sketch!
Xxxxxxxx

Sketch 110

Please give a big Pencil Lines welcome to this weeks guest designer, Cecile Lundstad. Cecile also provided this weeks gorgeous sketch.

Here is what Cecile had to say:

My name is Cecilie Lundstad, and I am so honored to guest design for Pencil Lines this week! I love to work from sketches, and I often visit this blog to find inspiration.
 
I live in Norway with my husband and three kids. I work as a web designer in an advertizing agency, and find it refreshing to play with papers, glue and paint whenever I can. I started scrapbooking in 2004, and have never looked back. I love the diversity of this hobby; there are no rules and no limits to what you can do! I love to experiment with products and techniques, and I refuse to stay true to any style. I just play with whatever I like to at the time. For me, scrapbooking is so much more than just a hobby - it is a passion and a lifestyle! I recently discovered the exciting world of mixed media as well, so I can hardly wait to dive into that new dimension :).
 
I have designed my own line of clear stamps, and would love to create more items for scrapbooking. Only time will tell if my dreams come true ;).
 
I hope you like my sketch, and please feel free to play with it! Remember: no rules ;). 
I wish you all a great week, and thanks for having me here!

Sketch 109

Please give a big Pencil Lines welcome to this weeks guest designer, Sasha Holloway. This weeks sketch has been provided by Annie.

Here is what Sasha had to say:

Hello everyone it' s me Sasha and I am just an ordinary girl, that loves to read, weave baskets, scrap and keep it real.  We run a dual military home, hubby and I are both active duty military and in the process of all the deployments and TDY's, we are raising 2 beautiful, energetic sneaky little boys that are 6 years apart.  I have been enjoying this hobby for about 2 years and I really love what it does for me, and what it will do for my family.  I do not have a set style, matter of fact I try and change it up a bit, I am starting to push myself and practice new techniques.  I do however love to journal it is such therapy for me to get it all down on paper.  I pretty much do it for the sheer therapy of it, with of course a few splashes of cardboard. 
I am so thankful for my friend I met while stationed in Japan for introducing me to my first paper cutter making invitations; I have yet to look back.  Now if I can find the time to scrapbook all the wonderful pictures I have from being able to travel the world I will be set.  As far as the other side of my life, I have my Master's degree and when the time is right I will start my PH.D.  One day I will start a shelter for battered women and children until then I am just a girl that loves color, cutting and making waves.  Thanks so much Pencil Lines for asking me to guest design.  It was an honor.
