This week's Design Team Spotlight is...

Wendi Robinson

Hey everyone. My name is Wendi Robinson and I am a super scrappin addict... Love everything about this art- being creative, including photography and working with my hands, and getting them dirty. I have always loved taking pictures, and loved to display them. I started out, what is extremely basic scrapbooking, in high school, I made some albums for my littlest sister- construction paper, markers, stickers and whatever I could find. Then, I really started scrappin before my son was born, and was introduced to scrapbooking from my sister, Caroline, who started when she went away to school. My first album was of a trip my husband and I went on to New Zealand and Australia. Then really got into it, once my son was born. I had to put my scrappin on hold for a couple of years, when my daughter was born, and in a two bedroom apartment, there was no place left to use. When we got a house, I finally got my own area, and about 4 1/2 years ago, I REALLY got into scrappin and have never turned back. I love it ALL- layouts, cards, mini albums, and love to alter!!!

I married my hottie, Jeremy and have been married for over 10 years now.. WOW.. We have two beautiful and amazing kids, a boy and a girl, who are my total inspiration and what I mainly scrap. We are California natives and are calling Utah home for now.

My favorite things are: itunes/ ipod, Wild Cherry Diet Pepsi, the beach, going for walks, love shopping at Target, pedicures, going to concerts, Lost, ER and The Office, guilty pleasure shows are MTV's The Hills, and The City, and LOVE Depeche Mode.

I have really enjoyed being on the Layout DT team here with Tamara's sketches, they are amazing, and I love to see everyone's take on them. Thank you Tamara for all your creativity, and letting me be on the team. You can always find my latest creations at: http://scrappydayinparadise.blogspot.com/. My scrapbook ahh-ha moment was when I was asked to be on the American Crafts Local DT team, talk about a dream come true.

My favorite sketch to use so far, was a recent one, Layout Sketch #84, it REALLY made me think outside the box, and try something new.

Recipe Challenge #39

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 Carol, one of the Recipe Design Team Members.

Create a card or layout using the following items:

• a button trio
• the color black
• a punched border

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!

Sketches! Guest Designer: Amber Korn

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

AMBER KORN

My name is Amber Korn. I am 28 years old, will be 29 in two weeks, and live in Carthage, MO with my husband of 10 years and our two children, Levi who is 6-years-old and Lilly who is 4-years old.

I am currently attending school, WTI, to become a Medical Assistant and am also an Independent Consultant for Close To My Heart.

For as long as I can remember I've also been into making things as early as age five, my great-grandmother helped to teach me about hand quilting, my mom got be hooked on cross-stitching, machine quilting and making my own cloths, I even have my grandmother's passion for cooking. All the women in my life have been a great influence on me and my crafting and creative abilities.

Scrapbooking is my major obsession, I started around July of 1999 right after the death of my father, it just blossomed from there after the birth and adoption of our children, I even have a little helper/scrapper in my daughter. I just recently got into card making it is especially easy with these beautiful sketches.

About two years ago, I also became addicted to blogging, and hope to some day see some of my artwork published in some publications. My blog address is http://www.kornyscrapping.blogspot.com/ and my Close To My Heart web page is http://www.lifetimeofmemories.myctmh.com/.

I am deeply honored that I was chosen as Guest Designer, and I hope to get to know each of you better. Thank you so much!

Amber

I asked Amber to choose a Card Sketch to work with and she chose Sketch #60.

And here is her her card using the Sketch.
