Sketch 58

Hello beautiful people!

First of all, we would like to let everyone know that we are all thankful for taking the time and sharing your talent with us each week. The team is working hard to visit each participant's blog & leave a comment. If we have missed your blog, we're truly sorry!

Our sponsor for this week is Prairie Fairy Design. Our team was once again was fortunate to have a chance and play with Prairie Fairy's supplies.

Hello! I am Roberta from Prairie Fairy Designs. I am a new digital stamp company featuring artwork not only created by me but also my two kids, ages 8 and 11. They are featured on the site as the Fairy Princess and the Prairie Prince.

I have been an artist for as long as I can remember and have always loved to create. Two years ago my sister-in-law invited me to a rubber stamp party. I laughed and said "Maybe I will buy something if I can use it to stamp on canvases.". Needless to say, I was hooked! Two years later and a lot of learning about computers, I have finally accomplished my goal.

While digital stamping is relatively new in the papercrafting scene, it is what I believe to be such an amazing tool. Printed images have such clarity and vibrancy and gone is the need to re stamp an image because you didn't press hard enough or maybe you pressed too hard! They are also a lot easier to store and they can be reprinted over and over again. The fact that you can rotate and flip files, print them off the size of a postage stamp or as large as a scrapbook page makes them such a versatile medium. It is my sincere hope that I can help anyone who has hesitations about using digital images to embrace these amazing creative tools. If you have any questions about going digital, check out the site and the blog (www.prairiefairy.blogspot.com) for more information, tips and tutorials.

Here's our sketch for this week. For those of you who loves layers, then we hope this is the one for you!
Our team has come up with such fabulous different interpretation of the sketch and we hope you can pick an inspiration from each one. You can also flip this sketch! Use a patterned paper with circles, flowers, or cut out a shape and layer it. It doesn't have to be circle - how about some stars too?

We're also fortunate to be joined by our guest Designer: Agata Pfister.

Hi ! My name is Agata. I’m Polish living in Switzerland from the day I got married to a great (and very handsome ;-) guy! We now have two cute kids, a boy of 3 and a girl of 1 year. They keep us quite busy! I was always interested in crafting. I tried cross-stitch, Handanger, ribbon stitching, beading etc. I started scrapbooking in Autumn 2006, soon after I discovered Clean & Simple and fell in love! But also I realized that it’s not as simple as it looks so I keep on trying… ;-) I started stamping about a year ago and soon became an addict, sort of. Today I can’t imagine a card without a stamp and some Distress inks! I’m very honoured to be a guest designer this week! I loved working on this sketch!
