Sketch 128

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

Here's what Birgit had to say:

Hi, my name is Birgit Koopsen and I feel honored that I was asked to be a guest designer here at Pencil lines!! Thanks a lot Annie!!

I am together with my husband Erik for almost 23 years now. Together we have 3 beautiful children (2 girls and a boy) and we are living in a little village in the North of the

Netherlands

. I started scrapbooking 6 years ago and have been addicted ever since! I love scrapbooking because it’s not only a way to preserve my family’s history but also a creative outlet!

In 2004 I started organizing crops at my home, soon to be followed by teaching workshops and doing demonstrations for craft/scrapbook stores and a Dutch wholesales company.

I had the honor of being a member of several DT’s and have had my work published in various international scrapbook magazines and idea books. By now I have my own business and am I working as a freelance designer/teacher for f.i. Creatief met Foto’s (a Dutch magazine). Besides that I’m the co-owner of The Creative Buzz who offer creative workshops in the North of the

Netherlands

I would say my style is graphic with a freestyle touch. I love to use a lot of fun details and lots of color. I´m in love with transparencies! If you like to see more of my work you can visit my blog.

I hope you will be inspired and have fun using my sketch!

Smiles,

Birgit

Oh wow, Oh My Gosh, Oh Wow! I thought what a cute sketch after reading Birgit's post. When I saw her LO from the sketch I just have to say it is the most stunning LO I have ever seen! And the design team also did a fantastic job! The inspiration is incredible!

Thank you, Kim

I spent two whole days just not getting the sketch out of my head. Toying with it and putting together how I would do the LO. Birgit, Thank you again for wonderful inspiration.
