Meet our Guest Designer for Sketch #58...

The fabulously talented Deana Boston! Her work is so bright, colorful and happy...it just puts a smile on your face! We are so excited to share her work with you and happy that Deana is here with us at IB this month!

Here is a little bit about Deana and her take on Sketch #58...

Hi, I’m Deana Boston & I’m so excited and honored to be guest designing for Inspired Blueprints! I started scrapbooking about 15 years ago when I attended a Creative Memories party. Thankfully my style has changed quite a bit since then, but I still have a love for multi-photo layouts with LOTS of journaling! I really do think journaling is the most important part of the page. I also love to make cards! I have the honor of designing for Nikki Sivils, SRM Stickers & Hip 2B Square kit club, as well as for the challenge blog These Are A Few of My Favorite Things.

My work has been published in Scrapbook Trends, Cards, Entre Artistes & Scrapbook Inspirations. I’m excited to say that I’ll finally be in Creating Keepsakes in January & February after trying over & over again. Never give up! When I’m not creating, I love to work-out daily & have run two half marathons, I love fashion, travelling the world, music, interior design, volunteering at school, dark chocolate & a really good glass of wine. But my favorite thing in the whole world is being a mom to Bryn & a wife to Bob. My life is full of love & laughter because they are in it… I feel very lucky!

I love Deana's take on this sketch...soooo cute how she used the hearts as smoke for the chimney! Darling! Thank you again Deana for being here at IB. Check out all the other design team creations and member gallery HERE!!!

Meet our Guest Designer for Sketch #57...

Give a warm IB welcome to the adorable Jillian Cassity!!! She has such a fun and whimsical style and we are so happy to have her here to kick off October!

Here is a little bit about Jillian...

My name is Jillian but call me Jill for short. I'm 25 years old and just moved to Oklahoma a couple of years ago. I LOVE living here and getting to be a stay at home mom- I adore that I get to devote most of my time to my son and my hobbies. I live with my husband, John and our 4 year old son, Alex. I love them a ton. You'll find that they are almost always my main scrapping subjects.

I am a girly-girl in most ways but I also have a weird and goofy sense of humor. :) I love people who make me laugh! I'm a pretty happy person almost all of the time, I always try to look at the positive side of things.
I have had a love for arts and crafts for as long as I can remember. My parents always encouraged my creativity and I owe much of my love for art to them. Scrapbooking is my number one favorite hobby but I also love sewing, crocheting and decorating my home as well.

Thank you so much for the chance to guest design for Inspired Blueprints! I had a blast scrapping with this months sketch! :)
