Good Morning,
 
This week there aren't any top picks as we only had 4 entries for the challenge.  So what I have decided to do is show each of the four entries again and give each of the
 ladies an extra entry into the prize draw.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Thank you so much ladies for taking part in this challenge and good luck with the prize draw at the  end of the month.
 
Don't forget to get your entry in for our current sketch by 6pm Sunday 19th of May
 
 
for your chance to go into the prize draw for the La La Land Crafts rubber stamp at the end of the month.

Meet the new Design Team members

Hi sketchies
It is time for you to meet our new design team members.
 
Debi
 
I am an avid, happy & dedicated card maker & scrap booker, and hopefully my creativity does inspire other gals.  I have been creating with patterned paper since April 2003, & really not a day goes by when I don’t work on some paper, canvas, card…or sometimes I just blog, or look at other scrappers styles, or peruse the internet for papers, brands & all the newest techniques.  But still I love some older techniques which can be incorporated into a new page or card. I love working with whole kits, but then I love to jumble them all up too.  I am messy, don’t have straight lines, love adding stitching to most cards or pages, love bright, bright colours but then also I have taken to working on a lot of monotone LO’s as well – you can tell I am a Gemini, very versatile I think!! I also try to add love & warmth to each of my creations.
I believe I will add to your Design Team with my ‘inventiveness’ on my cards, I can design sketches for monthly challenges if needed, offer suggestions of ideas plus I will always add positive comments to other gals work.
I have my own blog, which I love playing with & shortly I am going to add a recipe tab …I am always cooking & decorating, so why not add that to my list of ‘achievements’? My blog’s address is - http://debisjoy.blogspot.com.au/
I work in media (heaven help me!) 28 hours a week, plus on a weekly fun, fun, fun Trivia team, walk with hubster and friends regularly, read, garden, look after 2 aging kitties, have wonderful family in town as well as Brissie, & rest rarely!
 
Morgyn
 
I am originally from New Zealand but have just celebrated my 10 year anniversary of living in Australia.  I am a stay at home mum to my little boy Sam.  I have been crafting since I can remember, cross stitch, beading, and scrap-booking + many, many more.  My main focus right now is card making and scrap-booking (mainly of my little man), as well as altered items and off the page. I don't think I could define my style as 1 particular type - I try everything and am always developing what I do and love learning new techniques.  I am looking forward to being part of the Feeling Sketchy team and hope I can inspire you.

Sharyn
 
Hi, I’m Sharyn and I live in Brisbane, Queensland with my husband of 39 years.  I have one son and one grandson.  I am now retired from full time employment but I did work for Telstra for over 20 years.
I started making cards in 2005 when I walked past a craft shop and saw all the wonderful greeting cards on display in their window and the rest, as they say, is history. I have dabbled a little in scrapbooking but my main love is card making. My style, while I appreciate all styles, would be classed as cute.
My other interests are repairing and upgrading computers, crochet, reading and watching the footy.
 
Debbie
 
 
I've been married to my hubby for 27 years.  We have two adult children.
We live in MN.  We also have 2 cats and 1 dog.
I have been doing crafts pretty much all my life.  Love it!  I do just about all kinds of crafts.
I was into making cards quite a few years ago...but got away from doing it.
I got back into it again in the beginning of January of this year.  Can't get enough.
 
 
Dani
 
(coming soon)



Welcome to the team girls!
