Plesae give a big Pencil Lines welcome to this weeks guest designer Sabrina Donnet, who also provided this weeks sketch.
Here is what Sabrina had to say:
.. when I accepted proposal to make a sketch for PENCIL LINES, I jumped of wouaho joy!! what a happiness!
I love every week to come here to see the weeks sketch and the design teams layouts.. Thank you still to have thought of me.. It is a honour..
Born in 1975, I live in small village in Switzerland with the love of my life (Sébastien) of 12 years 1/2 and 3 fury ones (cats).
Since I do not have any little monsters (children) of my own, I scrap my brother and sister's kids as well as my good friends and family.
I've always been fascinated with photography and was introduced to scrapbooking in 1999 by my best girlfriend, Sophie.
Back then, we didn't have much scrapbooking shops in Switzerland and I had to be very creative and innovative in my attempts to make things look pretty.
Now, it is pure pleasure and happiness as I LOVE TO SHOP!... and of course buying all the pretty embellishments to arrange on my work.
My style is very much 'freestyle' and I do some classic styles too. I love all styles and spent countless of hours leafing through books and magazines admiring the work of other talented scrappers which serves as an inspiration. For me, it is the details and the journaling that matters most in my work and there is nothing more enjoyable and uplifting than to indulge myself in a trip down memory lane whenever I leaf through albums I have made.
favourite hobby
hmmm... it has to be both scrapbooking and photography (here) . I HATE it when something pretty catches my attention and I do not have my camera on hand. I also love it when the weather is bad and I can't go out and take photos as that gives me an excuse not to leave the favourite part of my home - my scrapbooking room.
Scrapping is so fun and this has no inventive border...
life is even nicer with scrapbooking!!
thanks to you very for your attention and I am delighted to see your layout with this sketch.. AND thanks team Pencil Lines

Please give a big Pencil Lines welcome to this weeks Pencil Lines guest designer, Jeni Boisvert. This weeks sketch was provided byMichelle.
Hi Pencil Line Addicts!! My name is Jeni Boisvert, I am very honored to guest design for this amazing blog! I live in Southern Idaho with my family. I've been scrapbooking for over 10 years now. Besides playing with paper I spend way too many hours playing in Adobe Photoshop, and I am extremely passionate about Photography! I have learned that I have to create in order to be Happy. I like to add the unexpected on my layouts whenever I can, such as popsicle sticks, wooden blocks, pipe cleaners, metal and pretty much ANYthing that will stick to paper! I don't care how 3 dimensional a layout gets, I figure out how to put it in the album later....usually much later. ;) I am very fortunate to serve on design teams for Graphic 45 as well as Bad Girls Kits and a local scrapbook store Scrappin Girlfriends'. I am very inspired by the girls I'm so lucky to work with! Thanks again for having me, I loved the sketch, it was a Blast!
