Pencil Lines

It's that time of the week again.............. Monday what a fabulous start to the week a new sketch at Pencil Lines. Tammy Brownlee is joining us this week as our Guest Design Team member. Tammy has also provided the lovely Sketch for this week's Challenge. I was a little cheeky with mine this week as I used a very favourite layout that I already had in my album. This layout was done as an online class with Kim Archer and it suited the sketch so well that I just had too use it. Kim does fabulous classes online through her blog, you use your own stash to do the layouts which is a good thing to do. Anyway here it is.........



Also a BIG reminder that each month we choose our favourite layout from that month's sketches - we normally wait till the 1st Saturday of the next month to allow people time to get their artwork to us. We have been working hard to get great sponsors for the RAKS because we like to ensure our favourite layout's artist gets a fabby rak and this month is no different - The winner of February's favourite layout will get a YEARS subscription to the fabby scrapbook magazine: Scrapbook Inspirations

so get your artwork into us :) so we can share it with everyone in our Reader's Gallery.(please click this link for more information on how to send us your artwork).

And the winners are......

SM, CK and Pencil Lines

It's been a while since I shared my latest layouts in the mags, I know they have been out for a while now but anyway I'm going to share them here anyway.

So this was my decorated bust in the BTP section of Scrapbooking memories. I was really happy with how this turned out. I'm not so much into BTP's but this was something I enjoyed doing and love how it looks in my living room.

Then I had a single layout in the Aussie Creating Keepsakes, it was a layout I did for a Design Team project for
Scrap Happy I loved stamping on the velum and then cutting it out, it looked really effective.



Now onto the new Pencil Lines sketch for this week. We have the lovely Cathy Zielske joining us as our Guest Design Team member. Cathy has given us this fabby 81/2 x 11 double page sketch to work with. All the Design Team Members have done awesome layouts that are so different to each others, just love when we all come up with layouts that are so different. Head over there to have a look, it's a great sketch and really easy for anyone to do. Don't forget to send in any that you do so you can have a chance to win the monthly prize. No sneak peek today just the whole thing.

New Deluxe Kit

Is out now at Scrapping Angels our Fabulously talented Angel Designer, Carole Janson has done the most sensational layouts and a card with her kit. She is the true Queen of 3D. Her Deluxe kit is a riot of delicious fruits salad colors which have been highlighted with black and pink in her projects. Fabulous Fancy Pants chipboard and Heidi Swapp embellishments liven it up so there plenty in there for everyone. Here's a quick peek at her projects, which the instructions for, come with your deluxe kit. Then at the end of the month you can head into our chat room and talk to her yourself, she will be there to help you out with anything you might need. For some more information on Carole's kit head over the the Blog to check out what Carole said for herself about her kit.

Well the kids are all back at school now, hurray!! LOL. Not really I love having them home and I must admit it's me that struggles the most with getting up early everyday. I just love sleeping in late. I have some really exciting things brewing, I mean really exciting!!!! For me anyway. I have a few things to confirm yet, but I'm so excited I can hardly concentrate on anything else.

Next Saturday is our local workshop day, we have a few spots left so if anyone local out there wishes to come, there is still time to book your spot.
