August guest designer... Marie!

I'm a retired teacher who started making cards and scrapbooks in 1994. I've been a Close to My Heart consultant since 1996. My other passions include golf, Cricut crafting and quilting. For several years I was the moderator for the Color My Heart Color Dare Design Team challenge blog and have served on the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog, Heart2Heart Challenge Blog, Addicted to Stamps and More and Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge Design Teams.

Since I'm an avid golfer and have lots of golfing friends who have birthdays coming up, I decided to use a golf theme for the repeating image on the card sketch. I printed the greeting from my computer with my laser printer and used Minc gold holographic foil and leftover scraps from holographic poster board as the focal mats. The golf ball image is from last year's Stampin' Up Clubhouse stamp set.

August guest designer... Jean!

I am a mom of two grown adult children and am now a grandmother of a three and a one year old! Having adult kids slowed down my scrapbooking, but now with the little ones, I am back at it. I am an avid reader and also play with watercolor paints making cards.

When I saw the sketch, it made me think of the hiking we had done in Phoenix this winter. I changed the diamonds to triangles and added chipboard mountains for dimension. I used a mulberry like paper and added a mountain top to a piece of cardstock. I would love to have you visit my blog—Pagesintime.

Welcome Sherry to our single page team!

We are adding a new member to our single page team! Sherry will share her first project with you in September!

Here is a little bit about Sherry:

Married for 28 years, mother of twins (now adults), Registered Nurse for 33 years, Entrepreneur and Designer.

I did own a papercraftering store for 5 years, which I enjoyed beyond words. My children were still home and in school so I had to decide between keeping the store or continuing on with my nursing career and nursing won as it was the most logical at the time. I've never stopped crafting and now my joy comes from sharing projects with people like you and being part of the virtual community.

Since childhood I've always been passionate about Paper Crafting, Vintage items, DYI and just being creative. As far as a "style" I would have to say I am the most comfortable with vintage, grunge and distressed. With that being said I will often get out of my comfort zone to try something new and different.

Highlights in my crafting journey thus would be:

Attending CHA (now referred to as Creativation)
Participating in classes ( in person ) from some of the best in the industry such as Tim Holtz; Vicki Boutin; Heidi Swap; Angie Blom; Hero Arts; Amy Tangerine; Spellbinders and so many more
Creating the opportunity to start, own and operate my own papercrafting brick and mortar store
Attending several Crop and Create events
Having the privilege to design and create for several companies such as Magenta and Canvas Corp Brands
Being published in creative magazines such as Creative Scrapbook and Scrap-N-Art
The beautiful and lasting relationships built with people who share my passion

You can also find Sherry on her BLOG, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, & Pinterest.

August guest designer... Laurie!

Please welcome Laurie as our August double page guest designer!

My take on the sketch was to keep the vertical photos in a line, but instead of using lots of patterned paper behind the photos, I backed the photos with paper and then spritzed the white cardstock with Shimmerz misting spray. I utilized leftover branding strips to create a bottom border underneath the photos, as well as draw the eye upward to the top sticker cluster.
