Meet our Guest Designer for Sketch #66...

Ms. Malin Dahl!!! She has such a gorgeous vintage, shabby chic look that you will fall in love with!!! We are so excited for her to showoff her beautiful style here at IB!!! Here is a little bit more about Malin and her take on Sketch #66...

Hi!
My name is Malin Dahlstrom and i am from Sweden where i live together with my family.
I started scrap booking in 2005 just shortly after we have had our first child, when she was born i wanted to be able to document all those precious moments, events, things in our life's that i wanted her to know when she grew up and now she is 5½ and her albums needs a shelf of its own! We are expecting baby number two in April and I can't wait to scrap cute baby pics again.
I love this hobby and it has become so much more then a hobby for me, it is a lifestyle!
Sometimes I even plan layouts in my head when I'm going to bed and I keep a sketchbook next to my bed so I can write my ideas down at any moment.
My style is best described as feminine. I love girly things, flowers, lace vintage items, bright colors, hand cutting details from papers and just get lost in the world of creativity!
I was so happy to be asked to guest design here at Inspired Blueprints I love creating from sketches, making the sketch my own and adding feminine touches to it.
Thank you so much Inspired Blueprints for having me!
♥-Malin

Meet our Guest Designer for Sketch #65...

Ms. Lynn Ghahary!!! We are so honored to have Lynn here this month at Inspired Blueprints. Her work impeccable and her attention to detail is right on. I was blown away by her take on Sketch #65 and I think you will be too!!!

Here is a little more about Lynn and her take on Sketch #65...

My name is Lynn Ghahary and I live in New Jersey with my husband and high school sweetheart Salar and our two wild and crazy boys, Darian and Brandon. I was first introduced to the wonderful world of scrapbooking way back in 2000. As a young girl I had always loved to be artsy and creative so this hobby was right up my alley and I was hooked immediately!

I took a break from scrapbooking in 2004 when my first son was born and didn't really come back to the hobby until 2008. Now that I'm back I am here to stay and have been completely in awe at how far this amazing craft has come since we first "met" nearly 10 years ago. Scrapbooking is my creative outlet - it lets me get in touch with who I am all while preserving our most cherished family photos and memories.

Not only do I love to scrapbook but I love to create paper crafts of all kinds including cards, mini albums, and altered projects. I am lucky enough to have had my work published in several magazines including Creating Keepsakes, CARDS, Paper Crafts, Scrapbooks ETC, Scrapbook Trends, and Scrapbook & Cards Today.

In addition to scrapbooking I am also an avid gardener, bookworm, and wannabe photographer. I am also a self-professed reality TV show junkie and organzing diva.

To see more of my crafty pursuits come visit my blog at http://lynnghahary.blogspot.com.

Beautiful stitching on the hearts. It gives such great dimension!

I love how she gave the smaller photo a home with the mini folder and

perfect placement for the journaling!!!

I hope this inspires you to have a little fun with Sketch #65!!! Show Lynn some IB love and leave her a comment!!! You can also stop by the gallery to see Lynn's work as well as all the Design Team Members layouts.

Happy Scrapping!!!
