August guest designer... Lisa-Marie!

I live in the beautiful, green and leafy wineland suburb of Durbanville, which is in the Western Cape, South Africa.  I share my home with my beloved 8 year old, Isabella,, and my life partner, Andre (aka Wolfie), two dogs and two cats.  I have always loved doing anything crafty from a very young age; and it was about 11 years ago when a friend introduced me to scrapbooking - and it kinda stuck!  I have NOT looked back and I can say with all honesty, that scrapping is my therapy, an outlet and undoubtedly a passion of mine.  I love taking photographs too - so to be able to combine two art forms that I love so much is nothing short of amazing!  I'm fortunate enough to not work, so you will find me in my art room every single day!  I'm also very blessed, humbled and honoured to serve on 5 design teams - CSI: Color Stories Inspiration, Off The Rails Scrapbooking, Mix It Up Challenge Blog, The Studio Design Team and Fabscraps (which is a proudly South African scrapbooking company!).

I really enjoyed working with this sketch!  In lieu of using 3 photographs, I used one of my favourites and then added, in my layering, three chipboard frames.  To add a bit of interest, I added these frames at varying angles.  I used smaller corner elements so that the eye is drawn to the photographs / subject.

August guest designer... Wendy!

My name is Wendy Crowe and I have been scrapping for over 15 years.  I am happily married to a guy who loves my hobby and since he does Graphic Design, he always has plenty of input...lol.  I have 3 children - a daughter who is married, a 16yo daughter and an 11yo son.  So I always have PLENTY of different subjects to scrap.  Needless to say, I will NEVER reach the end of my boxes of pictures - and that is NOT a complaint!  My styles change with the mood I am in, the subject I am working on, and the time I have.    I always find my inspiration through sketches.  I start off with the sketch and then the creativity takes over.  Sometimes I end up with pages that look nothing like the original sketch

I consider my style to be more whimsical.  I usually let the photos tell the story, so I don't journal a lot.  You are more than welcome to check out my different pages and hopefully will also be inspired.  Thank you to Stick It Down for giving me the opportunity to be a Guest Designer on their blog.  Looking forward to spending more time working with their sketches and making new friends!

JUNE WINNERS!

I'm so sorry, I just realized that we never announced our June winners! I don't know how I missed this!

We had so many double page entries this month, which is amazing!! We had 31 total entries for June but those of you who played along with the double page sketch, please share what you liked best about this sketch. Or was it just that you had more time or the right photos to work with it?

Without further ado...

July guest designer... Lynne!

Please welcome Lynne as our July card guest designer!

I live in Northern Ireland with my hubby and our Westie, Ruby, and I work full time for a charity in Belfast.  I've always enjoyed making things and used to do a bit of painting and cross-stitching, but I've been card making for about 15 years now.  I sometimes think that my love of card making stems back to my childhood when I loved nothing better than a nice new set of crayons and a colouring book!!  Here's my blog if you'd like to come visit: https://rubydoobydoocrafts.blogspot.com/

I thought this sketch would be harder to put together than it actually was!  I cut out a panel slightly larger than my card base, and used the cut off remnants of each section as a guide to cutting the next one, so there was no faffing about trying to work out angles and whatnot.  Hope that makes sense!! I wasn't too worried about matching up my edges as I then die-cut my panel once I'd all the bits stuck down.  For my sentiment I cut 3 sets of each letter (the top layer is a lovely white glittery card) and then stuck them all together for some dimension.

July card team!

 White Rose Crafts owner, Kay Barnes, is a paper-crafter of many years' standing, who hails from Yorkshire, England. The White Rose is the heraldic symbol of Yorkshire, and dates back to at least the Fourteenth Century - possibly even before that! And it's well known in the UK that Yorkshire people are proud of their roots!

Kay moved to the United States, initially, to work as director of an organization providing help to the homeless on the outskirts of Washington DC. When that contract came to an end, she moved out of the city to enjoy country life... and with time to devote to it, and the encouragement of a whole set of crafty friends, she decided to embark on a new path that would give expression to her other great passion in life...  for all things glittery, shiny, and papery...!

You can visit Kay and White Rose Crafts store at their BLOG, Facebook page, and Instagram.
