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

As always we have a guest designer joining us. Please help us welcome Heather Robertson to our April 1st challenge!!

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

"Hi - I'm Heather and I'm thrilled to be a guest designer for Stuck?! Sketches - hope you enjoy my take on the sketch  I was born and raised in Northern Ireland but now live in Alaska with Dan (husband of 20 years), son Nathan (18), daughter Lauren (16),a cat, Meow and a Chesapeake Bay retriever Willou.

I have been scrapping for about 12 years . I was invited to a Creative Memories party I had 3 photos and nothing else. Everyone else had bags full of “stuff” (now I understand why !!) I enjoyed the process but immediately knew that I had to break a few of the traditional scrapbooking rules and do my own thing. I searched online and discovered a wonderful digital site which totally inspired me. From there I branched out into paper scrapping. Ever since I’ve been trying to find more rules to break !! Recently, I opened my own etsy cutfile store, Cut Mania, and have been enjoying the creative process

Aside from scrapbooking I love working with my hands Dan and I are renovating his mom’s house, adding new flooring, painting etc. Next job will be refinishing our wood floor. I also love to play racquetball, bike and hike."

Here is Heather 's layout based on our sketch.

Thank you for joining us Heather, we love your page!
