Sketch 36

Glad to see all the lovely gallery entries for Sketch #35 !! Keep them coming because the E.A.D.Designs Rub-Ons are a GREAT prize !! You will love them !!

Now onto Sketch 36 !! The scalloped background in this sketch provides a stylish place to house photos and memorabilia. The photos can be swapped out and arranged in many different ways !! The Design Team used the fabulous E.A.D. Design rub-ons and we've all had a blast incorporating them into our projects !! Here is Sketch 36 ...

 

Our guest designer is the multi-talented Layle Koncar, a designer for Basic Grey !! She has a fun style and loves to travel and teach classes !! She has tons of publications and has created an awesome layout for us !! Here's Layle, her background and her gorgeous version of sketch 36 !!

Hi guys!  Layle Koncar here.  I've been scrapbooking in one form or another for the past 11+ years when my first son was born and jumped at the chance 3 years ago to take on scrapbooking as a real job!  I recently accepted a new job with Basic Grey and I'm super excited to be working for such a great company with such yummy products!  My scrap subjects are my 2 boys; since I don't have daughters to scrap, I like to get my pink, girly fix in by scrapping photos from my childhood.  I've been teaching for the last 5 years and truly enjoy the travel and the connections with other scrapbookers that comes with it.  My work has been published in Creating Keepsakes, Better Homes and Gardens Scrapbooks Etc., Memory Makers, Paper Crafts, Legacy, Scrapbook Trends, Paper Trends and Pinecone Press.  I authored and contributed to the book Memory Art and am a regular contributor to Paper Crafts books and special issues.  In addition to scrapbooking, I LOVE interior decorating, skiing, reading, traveling, shopping, going to flea markets and spending time with my hubby Nick and my 2 rambunctious boys Jack and Sam. 

You can read more about Layle on her blog at http://laylekoncar.typepad.com

Guest Designer !!

We hope you're enjoying sketch # 35 !! Our guest designer for this sketch is the lovely and talented Kelly Purkey from New York City !! Please stop by and visit her blog for some inspiring creations !! Here is Kelly, a little about her and her interpretation on sketch # 35 !!

bio: I remember the day I discovered my Grandmother's scrapbooks and was so delighted to have this glimpse into her life. It all became clear exactly why I take so many photos, save each piece of paper, and try to record every aspect of my life as a young single girl. I am lucky to currently live in New York City, where there is inspiration around every corner. Besides scrapbooking I love traveling, curling up with a good book, laughing with friends, and cupcakes with lots of icing.  I'm honored to be designing for American Crafts and Fiskars, as well as being part of the 2008-2009 Creating Keepsakes Dream Team and a Garden Girl at Two Peas in a Bucket.com.

 

Welcome November and Sketch # 35 !!!

November is here ... can you believe it ?!?! We want to thank everyone again for helping us celebrate our ONE YEAR Anniversary last month !! Your creations were all wonderful and we hope you enjoyed the extra sketches !! Prizes will be announced shortly !!

Our first November sketch is a great one to show off a memorable larger photo. However, several smaller photos can be substituted as well !! Our sponsor this month is E.A.D. Designs ... a Vinyl Lettering and Wall Art Company. They have generously donated very cool rub-ons for the DT to use for this month's sketch !! The DT had a blast incoprorating these gorgeously thick,durable rub-ons to their creations !! So click on the link above to check out their site - the color choices and styles are so FUN !! Please visit their blog which has some great ideas as well !!

So, here is Sketch #35 and some of the Design Team's creations using these fabulous rub-ons !!
