This week we have another guest designer joining us. Please join me in welcoming Melissa Vining!

Here is Melissa to tell you a bit about herself....

"Hi I'm Melissa and I'm from Queenstown, New Zealand. I love playing along at Stuck?! Sketches and have been a huge fan of Laura's gorgeous sketches for many years. I'm married with three kids (8, 6 and 21 months) and I've been scrapbooking for nearly 8 years. I love capturing our family memories, and of course playing with pretty supplies! Traditional 12x12 layouts are my love, but I also make mini albums. My style is clean and fresh with extra added detail. I love machine and hand stitching, and I have a current obsession with gold colour shine! I'm blessed to be on several design teams. You can find me on my blog (http://yesterday2day4ever.blogspot.co.nz), Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/melissajanev/) and YouTube Channel (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0W-mT33Thho-f2O3WHGCTA). Thank you so much for having me as the Guest Designer for this reveal."

Now let's get started with the challenge, here is your sketch....

This week we have another guest designer joining us. Please join me in welcoming Julie Evers to Stuck?! Sketches!!

I will let Julie tell you a bit about herself....

"I'm thrilled to have the chance to be a guest designer at Stuck!? Sketches are my favorite source of inspiration when I am having a hard time starting on a project. My name is Julie Evers. I live just southeast of Columbus, Ohio and have been scrapping for at least 16 years. I started with a little box of paper and expanded gradually until the dining room was converted into my scrap room. I have 3 wonderful children (23, 21 and 16) and a sweet husband who bring me joy and remind me of what's important on a daily basis. I started to scrap because I wanted to create albums for my children to share with their families in the future. That's still important to me, but now I scrap because I have learned that I am a happier person if I try to find a few minutes to create each day. I share my work on my blog, "Playing With Paper" http://plywthpper.blogspot.com/"

Here is Julie's fabulous layout based on our sketch.

Thank you for joining us Julie!
