Love the Cards from the design team this week. I know I say it every week. But I can't help it. They seriously rock!

Sketches! Design Team Spotlight: Bethany Stouvenel

I am excited to announce that this weeks Sketches! Design Team Spotlight is:
Bethany Stouvenel



(Yes, this is a picture of Bethany and myself. I can't believe this is what she turned in when I asked her for a picture. giggles. We got to meet each other when I was in America this summer.)


Hi, my name is Bethany Stouvenel. I am a stay at home Mom to 3 kiddoes, James (13), Logan (2) and Kenzie (11 months). I am married to a wonderful & very supportive man, Trent.

I have been scrapping for a little over 3 years now and I adore this hobby! It has become such a big part of my life & I have met so many wonderful friends because of it! I love being on Tam's DT here on the Sketches blog! Her sketches are the greatest! & I feel very blessed to have this opportunity! and to have the friendship that she & I share. I enjoy working with the design team here. The talent is just amazing! & I love seeing the diversity of what each member does with the sketches each week! Such an inspiring group of talented women!

I am also on the design team for 3scrappyboys, the BEST scrappy kits out there! I am new to the DT there but am loving every minute of it! & I am loving how much scrapping I have been getting done by being on the design teams!! gives me the push (or sometimes the shove LOL) I need to get to scrappin'!

I also just want to take a quick mintue here to thank Tamara for all the greatness she does here on the blog! & just for being the amazing & wonderful friend & woman that she is {hug} lots of love to you my dear friend!!!




I asked Bethany what her favorite Layout she has done since being on the Sketches! Design Team. Currently, it is her layout using Layout Sketch #68.






Bethany, I admire you and am so grateful for our friendship that we have formed over the last 1 and 1/2 years. I am so glad we were able to finally meet one another this past summer while I was in America. I truly believe that has only helped our friendship grow stronger.
You are a very talented person and I appreciate all the time you put into the Sketches! Blog. I love seeing your layouts each week. And a extra thank you for uploading to the Sketches! Blog while my computer was down.
I Love You!

Scrapping Recipe Challenge #21

These challenges can be used on cards or layouts.

I will give a list of three items that must be used on a card or layout. You are not limited to only the three items listed. You can use as many items on your layout or cards as you wish. But the minimum on it must be what is listed in the recipe.

This weeks Recipe came from Trudi, one of the Recipe Design Team Members.

Create a card or layout using the following items:
  • Bling
  • A punch
  • Non-scrapbooking related item.

Check out what the Design Team did with this recipe.

As usual, if you would like to share your take on this challenge, link it up in the comment section. Your layout or card could be featured here on the Sketches! Blog for our Friday Inspiration next week.

Have a great day Everyone!
