Where has February gone? Its the 22nd already and we haven't posted the winners from last month yet! January's prizes have been generously donated by Scrapware...a fantastic chipboard manufacturer located in Australia.
As usual, the winners have been drawn at random....drumroll please.......
Congratulations ladies!! You have each won a gorgeous chipboard pack from Scrapware! Each pack is worth well over $40!! Ladies, please email your address to us at inspiredblueprints@gmail.com so that we can forward your prize.
As always, the design team have been so inspired by all the layouts and cards submitted during January...here are a few that caught our eye in January 2010.
Please welcome our lovely Guest Designer for Sketch # 42 .... the talented Jody Dent-Pruks !!! She is an Aussie gal and a member of Write. Click. Scrapbook., the inspiration collective. Here is a peek into Jody's life and her creative process as well as and her lovely take on the sketch !!
My name is Jody Dent-Pruks and I live in
My addictions include, but are not limited to: blog hopping, magazines, ferrero roche chocolates, bad reality TV and movies from the 80’s (think Dirty Dancing and you will be on the right track).
I squeeze my scrapping in by staying up very late at night, usually on the weekends. When I scrapbook I must have my computer always on hand. You will never see my hand writing on any of my layouts! I also need a clean and tidy table to start…it doesn’t stay this way, but it has to start off clean.
I would say my style is clean and simple – I love straight lines and lots of white space to keep me calm! My favourite scrapbooking colours are white, kraft and greens, although I am trying to cast my colour net a little wider these days and I went wild and crazy with the blues for the layout I did for this sketch.
My camera is a Canon 450D and my favourite lens is my 50mm. I also love my Canon IXUS990IS point and shoot, which travels in my handbag all the time and was the only reason I was able to start and finish Project 365 in 2009!

Note:
I loved the sketch because it appealed to my “straight edges” heart! After printing out my photos and seeing where I had space I decided to flip the sketch. I used patterned paper to give the layout some pop and added dimension with the circle accents that I attached with foam dots.
