Please give a big Pencil Lines welcome to this weeks guest deisgner, Denine Zielinski. Denine also provided this weeks sketch.
Here's what Denine had to say:
My name is Denine Zielinski, and I have been scrapbooking since the birth of my son, Ryan, in 1999. Scrapbooking is not only a way for me to document our memories, but it is a much needed creative outlet for me. I am proud to say that I have had my work published in several major scrapbooking magazines including Creating Keepsakes, BHG Scrapbooks, Etc, Memory Makers, and Simple Scrapbooks. I have also had the pleasure of contributing to several wonderful idea books by F&W Publications. I had the honor of being named a finalist in the 2006 Memory Makers Masters contest and a winner in the 2008 Creating Keepsakes Hall of Fame contest. I am also on the design team for Fancy Pants Designs. Outside of scrapbooking, I am an 8th grade Civics teacher. I enjoy dabbling in Photography and spending time with my son who is growing up way too fast.

Please give a big Pencil Lines welcome to Emilie Ahern. Emilie also provided this weeks sketch.
Here's what Emilie had to say:
I am a wife and mommy from Delaware. Many people recognize my work from my two red-headed girls who often grace my pages. They have perfectly beautiful names, but we find ourselves calling them Chicken and Fifi.
I have an unhealthy addiction to... Project Runway, creme brulee, the color orange, blogging, simple carbohydrates and cool Indie music. I know every single word to every single song on the ABBA Gold album. It's a crowning achievement of my life and I'm not ashamed to admit it.
I have been scrapping since 1997. I scrapbook because I want to live forever. I want to tell my story. I want to know myself inside and out. I have been fortunate to have been published in many major magazines and to be able to work on design teams where I can inspire and be inspired by others.
Bold colors don't scare me. I mostly use crazy-bold patterned papers and embellishments. I love using sketches when I get a mental block. It is so fun to start with a jumping off point and add your own personal touches that make the layout yours.

Please give a big Pencil Lines welcome to Celine Navarro, as a returning Pencil Lines guest artist. Celine also provided us with this weeks sketch.
Here is a little about Celine :
Celine Navarro lives in Montpellier, in the south of France, where she lives with her fiancé, Damien, who is a journalist. She’s been scrapping for 3 years now but has been a mixed media artist for over 10 years.
She’s a design team member for American Crafts, Prima Marketing, Hambly, Pink Paislee, ScrapinStyleTV and Kesi'art (A French stamp company). Celine launched her own Scrapbook and Mixed Media magazine in France in August 2008 and it is already a huge success.
How could we describe her style? Funky, fresh, colorful, sometimes crazy, sometimes melancholic, sometimes full of poetry... She hates rules in scrapbooking, but maybe that’s because her background comes from the Mixed Media world.
She has been published in some zines and magazines, like The ATC book by Stampington, Somerset Home, The Stamper’s Sampler, Scrapbook Answers, Legacy, Somerset Studio, Memory Makers... and will be published in several publications coming soon.
She is passionate about teaching mixed media and freestyle art / scrapbooking worldwide. To date she has taught in France, Belgium, Holland, Norway, Canada, the USA, Brazil, New Caledonia, South Africa and soon in Italy, Ireland and Singapore.
Scrapbooking helps her focus on what’s important in life, it helps her relax, cherish and honor the ones she loves in a creative way. What does she do when she doesn’t scrapbook? She reads a lot, goes to the beach, visits her family and plays video games on her PS3!
You can see more of Celines wonderful work on her blog
