Hi! My name is Charlene (Char) to everyone :-)  I am so excited and honored to be guest designing for Pencil Lines!!! Thanks so much for having me!!!! I live in Northern California. I'm a mother of 2 grown kids and a grandmother to 2 beautiful granddaughters ages 3 and 5! I started making cards 2 1/2 years ago and have been hooked ever since! I've had the privilege of meeting some wonderful and talented friends in the scrapbook world! I have designed for some on-line stores, and Challenge Blogs. I have been lucky enough to have been  published in Paper Crafts, Scrapbook Trends, and CARDS magazine.I'm not sure what my exact style is but my cards are always referred to as "cute" and I also love shabby! Although I enjoy clean and simple cards and Layout's I have trouble making them... I keep piling on the embellishments :-) Thank You so much for letting me share my work with you :-)

Sketch 249

Please give a big Pencil Lines welcome to this weeks guest designer Sharyn Tormanen. This weeks sketch is by Anna.

Here is what Sharyn had to say: 

 

My name is Sharyn and I've been scrapping ever since I was a young girl.  I have a life long love of bringing photos and stories together.  My desk is centrally located right in the kitchen, so bringing these stories to paper is something I try to get to each day. It's my calm in the middle of a busy hustling home filled with myself, my husband and four active children ages 4 - almost 16, and a newly acquired dog that I swore I'd never cave in to.  Never say never, right?  

I'm currently working on design teams for Technique Tuesday and Creative Memories, and teach several classes over at Get it Scrapped. I have also enjoyed the honor of being published in books and magazine publications. 

You can see more of Sharyn beautiful work on her blog here

Sketch 248

Please give a big Pencil Lines welcome to this weeks guest designer, Sarah Eclavea. Anna provided this weeks sketch.

Here is what Sarah had to say;

Hi, my name is Sarah and I am super excited to be a guest designer here at Pencil Lines! I was born and raised in Chicago, IL and still live near the city with my husband and two little girls. My girls- Frances (2 1/2) and Isabel (8 months) give me lots of material for scrapbooking and most of my projects revolve around them. I love cute, whimsical designs and lots and lots of pink. Just about every layout I create has pink somewhere on it which is perfect for two sweet girls. I have been scrapbooking for over 10 years now, but just discovered "online" scrapbooking in the last few. I have been fortunate enough to design for several online stores, kits clubs and challenge sites and currently am on the design teams for Nikki Sivils, Scrapbooker and Bo Bunny. Thank you so much for letting me share my work with you. You can see more of my work on my blog: www.scrapcetera.com.

Plesae give a big Pencil Lines welcome to this weeks guest designer Amy Parker, Anna provided this weeks sketch.

Here is what Amy had to say:

Hi Everyone!! I am Amy Parker, and I am so excited to be here! Pencil Lines is the first scrapbooking site I came across when I started several years ago, so this is a dream come true for me!

 

I am a stay-at-home-mom to 2 little girls, Creedence (almost 4) and Aurelia (5 months). My husband (Jed) and I have been married for 2 1/2 years, and we all live on the Central Coast of California. I started scrapbooking in the spring of 2008, and immediately fell in love with the craft!! It is a huge creative outlet for me, and I truly depend on it to keep me grounded! Laugh!

 

I have had many amazing opportunities to work with some wonderful companies since I started scrapbooking, and have also had the honor of being published several times in Scrapbook Trends Magazine, and in the Prima Marketing Idea Book. I currently design for Cosmo Cricket and Crate Paper, and feel so blessed to be a part of their incredible design teams!

 

Thanks again so much to Pencil Lines for having me here!! Please feel free to check out my blog if you would like to get to know me more or see more of my work!
