Getting to know Lindsay:
I am so honored to be the guest designer for sketch 57! Thank you so much! I really love this sketch for its versatility! It can be kept simple and clean or can be dressed up and added to. Just a little about myself, I started scrapbooking in 2005 and very simply at that! At the time, the thought of making a card sent me into a cold sweat. I obviously got over it and have been serious about my card making for a little over a year and a half. I enjoy being "known" for my cards within my family and group of friends, but I feel even more excited to be able to inspire and be inspired by other papercrafters and know that we share a creative passion for works of art in the form of cards! I am married to a wonderful man who puts up with my crafty ways and together we have a 2 year old son, Jonathan. I feel very blessed to be able to share what I love with others!

ReplyDeleteThanks for the fabulous sketch!
ReplyDeleteLovely sketch. Entering for the first time and tried to do the best. anita
ReplyDeleteOK, I entered. Lovely sketch, I really enjoyed it. I am sorry, I forgot to change my link info so the first entry in my name brought you to my general blog...second entry is the actual entry. I'll get the hang of this!!
ReplyDeleteI entered..... I don't have a blog or image gallery, so I used my Dropbox, which allows a public link to a file. This was a great challenge, I really enjoyed doing it.
ReplyDeleteKaren G (BC)
I think I may have accidentally linked to the wrong photo, so I resent the link.. but it entered me twice... the second photo should be the correct one, on the server, not on my hard drive.
ReplyDeleteFound your challenge from the HA blog, had a lot of fun!
ReplyDeleteI missed this challenge, as this is my first time on your site, that said, I will be checking frquently! Loved all the cards and will be creating some of my own with this sketch. My girls like simple cards, but I like to "dress" them up! With this sketch they can do as much or as little as they want! Thanks for sharing!
