Here's another look at the sketch:

"Hello all, I'm Helen and I'm an one excited West Australian thrilled to be the guest designer for this challenge. By day I am a primary school teacher and by night I love to escape to my craft room and create, well except on Wednesday nights when I am learning to play bridge. I started scrapbooking when my twin boys were 17 months old and boy time flies as they just turned 17 a couple of weeks ago. I am currently on The Crafty Maven Getaway design team and I really enjoy making scrapbook process videos, I even made one for this layout! I hope you enjoy it and find some inspiration. Take care and happy crafting."

I started Charms Creations back in 2010, after creating a few handmade creations for my own layouts I had a suggestion to make them and sell them to others. It started as selling only a few for a *Market* on a Scrapbooking Site, then selling them on my blog, then I started selling them on my Facebook Page.
I started selling them in a Big Cartel Store -http://charmscreations.bigcartel.com/ a few years ago, and still do, along with having sales & new releases over on the Charms Creations Facebook Page.
I am very lucky to also have a fantastic Creative Team who have been helping me spread the word with their gorgeous work around the web & in Scrapbooking Magazines.
I also have an AMAZING group of regular customers who also share their gorgeous work here in this fabulous group to give Ideas & Inspiration as well!
So please feel free to share YOUR work with us here - we would LOVE to see it!
