Say Howdy....

.... to another returning CT member.

Chloe Nielsen

Hi there, my name is Chloe Nielsen and I live in Queensland, Australia with my husband and 2 children. I have been scrapping for 6 years, but only seriously for 4. (Having children means so many pics to scrap!!) Scrapping for me is my creative outlet, my stress relief and a perfect way to record our precious family memories. I find it hard to define my style, I'm not even sure I have one, but I guess you could say most of my pages are clean and simple. I am on two Design Teams at present and I am very excited to be continuing on the Creative Team here at Stuck?! Sketches for another six months. I just love Sara's sketches and love being part of this fun challenge site!!

This is Chloe's layout from our Application sketch.

Returning....

.... Returning for another term, we welcome back:

Charmane Koch

My name is Charmane Koch and I have been a Scrap-A-Holic since May 2004, not many days go by that I don't scrap! I have recently moved back to my "hometown" of Mount Gambier, with my partner and 3 children, Chei 6, Harmony 4 and Ryarne 9 months old!

I have been blessed with being designing & guest designing for a few different Websites/Wholesalers and been lucky enough to have had my work published quite a few times in magazines including Scrapbook Creations, Scrapbooking Memories and For Keeps. I am currently designing for Bon's Scraps, a website FULL of inspiration! I've also enjoyed being on Sara's STUCK CT - I LOVE Sara's sketches and am inspired by each and everyone that she puts up! I LOVE being inspired and to be ABLE to inspire too!!! Looking forward to another 6 months on the CT and seeing all the lovely work that you all create!!!

Let's welcome....

..... another new member to the team.

Amanda Winchester

I have been married to my wonderful husband, Kevin, for 8 years. He is very supportive of my scrapbooking addiction. I am also a SAHM to 3 gorgeous, sweet (if at times crazy!) kids; Riley (5 1/2), Kieran (4) and Bridget (2). I started scrapbooking when Riley was a baby to document milestones but it quickly became more than that. I love that scrapbooking is such a wonderful creative outlet. I love creating art while preserving memories at the same time. Combines so many loves in one hobby...memories, photography, crafting. My kids also love to do layouts and cards with me. It's also such a great social hobby and I love the friends that this hobby has given me! In addition to scrapbooking I am a runner, love to read and bake and hang out with my awesome family (and all our siblings, nieces/nephews...we're quite a crew!). Life is good!

Here is Amanda's layout based on the Application Sketch:

And one of her own creations.

Introducing...

.... so that now that we have a list of team members, let's learn a little bit more about them.

Starting with:

ALICIA RANSLEY

My name is Alicia (Leesh) and 33 years old. I am married to Ben (7 years) with 2 beautiful children (Charlotte 4 & Oliver 7 months). I have been scrapbooking for about 5 years and only recently started to become a lot more serious about it. I am currently on maternity leave from work which is Executive Assistant (PA) to Director of Nursing at our local hospital. I love doing sketches, challenges and browsing the web for inspiration. If I am not scrapbooking I love to cross stitch, quilt and have also dabbled in some mosaics. I am always looking for that new technique or idea to try.

And the layouts that Alicia submitted for our call.

Based on the sketch:
