Sketch 141

Please welcome back to Pencil Lines, this weeks guest designer, Christiane Muller. Anna provided this weeks sketch.

Here's what Christiane had to say:

My name is Christiane Müller and I'm living in Northern Germany near the Danish border not far away from the Baltic Sea.
In real life I'm working part time in a handicraft-store.
I spent half of my life doing all sorts of crafts. Then in 2003 I started scrapbooking as a CM-Consultant, but was not satisfied with this. After some research I found several links on the Internet that opened me up for other scrapbooking styles. A year later I learned even more about scrapbooking during my vacation in the USA and I was hooked. For four years now it is my passion.
My style is striking, bright and colorful. I love all kinds of colors and lots of embellishments. My layouts are mostly bilingual and I'm scrapping in 12x12. 
As a matter of nature I am focused to scrap about my two sons and my husband. They are my most scrapped subjects. I also love to scrap every-day-pictures and funny situations. Sometimes my black humor shines through!! ;)
I'm feeling very lucky that I have the opportunity to create for Prima Marketing and the German version of Scrapping The Music.
Since last year I'm teaching workshops in Germany, Denmark and Austria.
