Happy Mother's Day and Sketch #73

Happy Mother's Day! We hope you ALL have a wonderful, special day with family and friends. Take TONS of photos because we are going to keep you busy with another great sketch. Sketch #73 is one of my favorites ... I love the filmstrip look of the photo placement. The element below the photos can be interpreted so many different ways.  With every sketch we include a FREE digital template, so click >>>HERE<<< for the download. Without further ado, here's the sketch and samples from the talented Design Team.

Meet our Guest Designer for May...

The lovely and talented Ms. Sarah De Guzman!!! We are so excited to have Sarah with us this month at Inspired Blueprints. You have seen her work in many publications and you can see her designing for many of you favorite manufacturers! She even runs her own scrapbook store!!! Check them out on Facebook HERE!!!

Take a look at Sarah's take on this week sketch #72 and find out a little bit more about this California girl!

Hi, I’m Sarah. I live in the sunny (most of the time) state of California. Scrapbooking has always been a part of my life since my high school days, but it has recently become an everyday activity (aka. addiction)! On top of being a hobby, it helps me relax and relieve my stress. Besides, the best part about scrapping is there is no right or wrong way to do it, so I can never make a mistake at something I love!

You can find Sarah on her blogs here:

Sarah will be back later in the month for another beautiful take on Sketch #73! And don't forget to visit the gallery and see all the beautiful creations from our designers and members!

Have a Happy Mother's Day from all of us here at IB!!!
