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 Sandra Brimelow to our April 1st challenge!!


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

"I have been scrapbooking now for about 11 years, with a style that has been evolving over that time. I am not sure how to define my style, but am often using a mixture of mixed media and traditional scrapping. I think really I am fairly eclectic.
My favourite products include stencils, texture paste, glitter paste and find myself often heading down the track of a mixed media. I also love handmade embellishments.
I really enjoy working with sketches. I find they are great to recharge the scrapping mojo when it goes missing, and are a great starting point, if you find yourself stuck for ideas for a layout.
I have been married to my husband for nearly 28 years, I have 2 adult children and one fur baby. I work as a Child Health Nurse, which is a rewarding job.

Here is Sandra's lovely layout based on our sketch.


Thank you for joining us Sandra!

Now lets have a look at our gorgeous DT reveals (in alphabetical order!)....

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

"Hi! I’m a Anita a stay at home mum, living in a small town by the name of Maryborough, situated in Queensland, with my partner and our three girls. I first started scrapbooking and paper crafting way back in 2001, after being invited to a crop.
If I’m not in my craft studio creating up a storm, I’m usually playing with my camera and working on my photography skills, cut files or just enjoying some quality family time.
Photography has become a large part of my scrapbooking and crafting as I capture a lot of my everyday life and many memorable moments that can be looked back on; I enjoy every moment of it!
