January guest designer... Amanda!

We're glad to have Amanda back with us this month. She's our January card guest designer!

I’m Amanda and I live in Essex in the UK, where I work part-time as a bookkeeper. My main hobby is scrapbooking but I’ve also been making cards for about 20 years. Even after all this time I much prefer working from a sketch to coming up with my own ideas for new cards. Many thanks to Laura for a good one this month and to Ashley for inviting me to be your guest here at Stick It Down.

Here is our January card sketch again:

and here is Amanda's card:

 Thanks so much Amanda!

If you're thinking you'd like to be a guest designer for us, just link up a project using any of our sketches this month. One winner from each sketch will be chosen as a guest designer!

January guest designer... Angela!

Please welcome Ang as our single page guest designer for January!

Hi!

I'm Angela, Ange (Anj) for short.

I'm super excited to be guest designing for Stick it Down this month!!

A bit about me: I'm mostly a stay at home mom, but do lots of side jobs to help with the cash flow. I have 4 kids; 2 girls and 2 boys, ages 18, 15, 13, and 7. They keep me running with all of their fun activities and keep me busy with my camera. I have lots of softball, volleyball, soccer, wrestling, baseball, dance, tumbling and play photos to scrap. And just recently we've added basketball and choir. I love road trips and camping. This summer we got to do a little of both. I also play softball and volleyball myself, I just need to work in a little more time for both. And like most scrapbookers I love to take photos.

I hope you like what I've made to share with you today.

And I want to say thanks to Stick it Down and all their designers for the great sketches and fun inspiration!

Here is our single page sketch this month:
