Please give a big Pencil Lines welcome to this weeks guest deisgner Yoko Tsubaki. Anna provided this weeks sketch.
Here is what Yoko had to say :
Hi everyone! My name is Yoko Tsubaki
(also known as stila) and I live in Japan with
my loving family :hubby+ my two daughters at the age
of 5 and 1. I have been scrapbooking for over 4 years
now . I visited a scrapbooking shop to make my
own wedding welcome board and got to know what
scapbooking is.
Two years later I started this craft much seriously
and since then I find myself always doing something
with papers and scissors, making layouts;) I truelly
love these crafty moments!
Thank you for inviting me as a guest designer and I
am sure this will be my very special experience.
Please come stop by at my blog :

Yoko wanted to add a personal message with regard to the Japanese Earthquake and Tsunami :
As many of you know we are suffering from M9.0
earthquake and Tsunami happened on March 11th. So
many lives has been lost and there are still so many
missing victims.
I have hesitated to appear as guest DT here even
though I was asked to a few weeks back because of the
sad situation we are facing right now in Japan.
But I am here and ask all of you to support us, in
whatever ways you may find.
It will take long time but we will recover from this
tragedy with your support and help.
Thank you
Yoko
