On to our talented Guest Designer for this week. Please join us in welcoming Heidi Van Laar.

Hi, my name is Heidi and I have been paper crafting in some form or another for as long as I can remember. Art supplies were always on the top of my Christmas wish list! I had always made my own cards, but they were simple and usually printed from the computer. Then, when my fist child was born about 7 years ago, I discovered scrapbooking and all the super yummy papers and embellishments! As a busy stay at home mom of three finding the time to do a layout isn't always easy, but a card is the perfect size project to squeeze in at nap time! It's something I truly LOVE doing!


Here's Heidi's take on the sketch. What a gorgeous color combination! To view more of her fabulous creations, please click HERE.


Our mixed talent of Design Team members are going to wow you with their creations! Let's start with:

"Hi my name is Jane and started scrapbooking about 13 years ago and well basically not a day goes by that I am not doing or thinking something scrapbooking. I started making cards so that I could use up my scrap pieces of paper after I had done a scrapbooking page (okay I didn’t want to put away or throw away anything) so I started making cards....now it’s a total addiction which I just love".

And for our Sketch #5 . Remember, you can always switch images around, flip them, turn them upside down, what they only need is your imagination!

We have a great interpretation of this sketch from our talented Design Team. Hop in over to their blogs to see more creative projects, whether it's cards, home decor, scrapbook layouts, painting and even jewellery making! You won't be dissapointed!
