Wrapping up our Month Long Birthday Celebration !!!

Thanks to everyone for participating in our month long Birthday Celebration !! It has been fun and we hope you've enjoyed the extra sketches and all the inspiration. The final sketch to wrap up the celebration is a first for Inspired Blueprints ... a circular layout !! You're going to love this !! The Design Team has had so much fun with the sketch and we hope you will also. So here is Sketch 34 :

Our guest designer is the lovely and oh so talented Ngaire Bartlam from Australia. Her style is colorful, eclectic and artsy. Here is a bit about Ngaire and her take on this sketch : 

 

A Brisbane based Artist and scrapbooker for over 10 years, Ngaire has written two books: "Lumpy Bumpy"  and   “Its all about YOU”.  She regularly creates for Tarisota Collections, Printblocks and Fiskars Australia … also contributing to several magazines and guest design spots each year. She has  been a sell out instructor for the Australasian Scrapbooking and Papercrafts Conventions. Previously a long-time tutor for the ISC conventions, she is now a freelance artist and instructor, teaching all over Australia and beyond.

“My style is eclectic and breaks the rules. I love using lots of colour, texture and embellishment.  I like to have fun with my art, and as such, my classes are all about enjoying the process as well as loving the end result. My passion is to encourage all class members to open their minds and their hearts, and to really experience JOY on their creative path, where ever it may take them.”

Isn't this gorgeous !! You can check out Ngaire's art here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ngaireb and please visit her very cool etsy shop : http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5004427.

Our new sketch is inspired by this gorgeous and fun layout by our design team member - April Yap.

 

Our guest for this sketch is Kimberly Garofolo Neddo. 

Here's what Kimberly had to say:
My name is Kimberly and I am both honored and proud to be a Guest Designer for Inspired Blueprints. I live in Bigfork, Montana and I am a Newlywed to Todd Neddo, the love of my life. I have 3 beautiful children, Noel, Foster and Olivia and 3 bonus (step) children Mike, Lexx and Charlie.  

I love to take photographs every day, love to online shop, and am addicted to Yoga…I have to find time every day to experience it and learn more. I love learning a little something new every day. I love eating graham crackers with buttermilk frosting and love old fashioned home made popcorn with olive oil and sea salt with milk duds! YUM! J I love to bake and try new recipes. My fetishes include, gel pens, bags/purses, shoes, cowboy boots and hats…I love fetishes! I love to find the JOY in every day in some way. 
I've been scrapbooking for 13 years and enjoy the idea of passing on a legacy of history to feature generations to come. I scrapbook a little every day…I just love creating. I've been honored to be published by Creating Keepsakes, Scrapbooks Etc, Memory Makers, Scrapbook Trends and Pine Cone press. I Design for Sassafras Manufacturer and have been with them for 4 years now. Another online website I enjoy designing for is the Got Sketch Blog, whenever they ask me to. I’ve had the honor and privilege to be a guest designer for Pink Paislee and many other online communities as well. Creating is a passion of mine, whether it be with scrapbooking or photography and love the challenges they both give me on an ongoing basis. I am thankful for this opportunity to be asked to design with one of the AWESOME Blueprint sketches. Thank you for taking the time to know me more. Blessings to you!

Kimberly has an awesome style and this is the layout she did for us...
