Sketch 266 and Farewell

It is with much sadness that tonights sketch will be our last.

I have spent the past few months thinking long and hard about the future of Pencil Lines. As some of you may remember I started Pencil Lines with a group of scrapping friends back in October 2006 just for fun. Six years later Pencil Lines receives over 15,000 visits a week, I have published a book and had six wonderful years working with the most amazing and talented deisgn team I could imagine!

My heart is not in scrapbooking and I am neglecting Pencil Lines. My career has taken a different path and I am now a full time photographer. It is unfair of me to try and continue with Pencil Lines when I cannot give you the readers and my design team 110%.

Tonight is our last sketch, the website will remain active, and I will PDF all our sketches for you to purchase at a small cost with a percentage going to a chosen charity.

This weeks sketch is by myself ironically, and I was to be your design team spotlight. I havnt done a layout though, my heart wasnt in it :(
