Sketch 115

Welcome to Pencil Lines, the sketch challenge blog. Sketch 115 is the last of 2008, and we have a great competiton to end the year off with. But first, please give a big Pencil Lines welcome to this weeks guest designer, Brenda Hurd. Our very own Michelle provided this weeks festive sketch!

Here is what Brenda had to say:

My name is Brenda Hurd and I live in a small town in Utah.  I am married to a very supportive man and have 3 beautiful children - Mason (7), Ethan(5), and last but not least Baylee (2).  I have been scrapping since I was 16 years old which is more than half of my life - I'm 32 now.  I started when my husband - then boyfriend - left on a mission.  I haven't stopped since then.  My style changes every time I scrapbook - but I do have a certain design that I seem to turn to when I'm in a rut.  That's why I love scrapping so much - if I'm in a funky mood - it comes out on my layouts - or more conservative - it shows in my work too!  I'm so excited for the opportunity to be a guest designer for Pencil Lines - I love to come here for inspiration!  Michelle's sketch was a little outside my comfort zone but I loved working with it and getting multiple pictures on a layout and getting some of my Christmas pictures out of my stack!  So Thanks! 
 
I currently design for Fancy Pants Designs and also a challenge blog Method Playground.  I'm looking forward to this upcoming year for more design opportunities that have come my way and to share what I love to do most (besides hanging with my family)! I also share a lot of work on my blog!

Sketch 114

Please give a big Pencil Lines welcome to this weeks guest designer, Sandie Vincent. Sandie also provided this weeks sketch.

Here is what she had to say: 

Hi! My name is Sandie Vincent, I live in the UK with my husband and 3 children. I have been scrapbooking since July 2005 after being convinced by a friend that I should have a go. I was never very artistic as a girl, so when I started to make cards in 2002 I surprised myself how much I enjoyed it. I was adamant that I wouldn't get drawn into another craft, but after taking my first class I was hooked, and haven't looked back.
I am a designer for Memories From The Attic Kit Club, My Creative Scrapbook Kit Club and an inspiration blog called Sketches! {by Tamara}, and have had a few layouts published in The Scrapbook Magazine, Scrapbook Inspirations and the E-Zine Ready Set Create. I also taught for the first time this year at a Scrapbook Workshop, which was so much fun!
It's a real honour to be asked by Pencil Lines to GDT for them, as this is where my real love of sketches began. I check in every Sunday for my latest sketch fix, and even draw my own when there isn't time to scrap. I have made so many real and online friends through this hobby, which I am truly grateful for. And it honestly makes it more than just photos, glue and paper!!!
I hope you like my sketch and look forward to seeing everyones interpretations of it. Thanks again for having me here.

You can see more of Sandie's work on her blog.
