I am excited to announce that this weeks Sketches! Guest Designer is:


Wendi Robinson



Hey there!! My name is Wendi Robinson.. and I am I am very lucky to be married to a wonderful hottie, Jeremy (10 years this week) and have two of the cutest kids ever, one boy and one girl, so I get the best of both worlds. I work part time doing AP/AR at the school district office, plus being mom, and a scrapper...
I am just in lovin with scrapping and soo glad to find my passion and excitement in life. I love taking photos and capturing memories and then turning them into a creative outlet. I've been scrappin on and off forever, but really got into it about 4 1/2 yrs ago and not ever stopping. I love everything from layouts to cards, and really enjoy altering and mini albums. I just love to create.

When I'm not scrappin, which I try not to... I love reading and diving into a good book, love going to concerts and am totally addicted to my ipod, but love just hanging out with my family and hubby.. I love the beach and miss it soo much, and hoping to one day be back by it.

You can check me out on my scrappy blog http://scrappydayinparadise.blogspot.com/ where I like to share my latest creations and what I've been up to.

Thanks so much to Tamara for this wonderful opportunity to be a guest designer and really enjoy the sketches that she creates.



I asked Wendi to choose a layout sketch to use and she chose Layout Sketch #58.





And here is her layout she made using that sketch.

Charlotte Hansen



Hi,I am so excited to be on the spot light this week. Thanks Tamara for doing this - you are such a sweetheart!
My name is Charlotte Hansen. I am married to the most wonderful man on the Earth. We've been married since 2001, but have been together since 1995. We have two boys, who are 9 years old and 11 years old. We live in Denmark - the tiny country up North.... in Scandinavia. I work in a hospital nearby as a medical secretary.
I have been scrapbooking since 2003 or so. At that time scrapbooking wasn't known in Denmark. I went to different hobbystores and kept asking for acid- and linguinfree paper and embellishments - but no one knew what I was talking about. he he!! I found out about scrapbooking via the Internet. And I have been hooked ever since!Now we have severeal of scrapbooking stores in this country and that's just so great. :-) I love to document our everyday moments through my layouts.



I asked Charlotte to choose her favorite Sketch since being on the Sketches! Design Team, and she chose Layout Sketch #58.





And here is her layout she made using that sketch.

Recipe Challenge #25

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 Lori, one of the Recipe Design Team Members.

Create a card or layout using the following items:
  • polka dots
  • felt
  • something sparkly (glitter, Stickles, bling, whatever . . .)
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!
