Some of you may have had some difficulty with last week's sketch, so here's a simple one for you. Very very easy pattern start up.

We're excited to be joined by our Guest Designer this week. Please welcome.....

Marjan Kuppers

Getting to know Marjan:

"Hi, my name is Marjan Küppers. I live in the Netherlands, in a city near The Hague with my family. My husband and I have a grown daughter and son, the daughter lives in her own home. I have been a part-time teacher in a primary school in the centre of The Hague for many years.

Like many other scrappers, I have had many creative interests in the past years, but when I discovered scrapping I knew this was it for me. Until last year, when I started making cards…. Now I am truly hooked!! And I’m not the only one, so I discovered! Cardmaking has two other advantages for me: no bulky albums to store and making someone happy with a handmade card is very nice too! I love to Photoshop and try to integrate it in my cardmaking whenever possible. My style… well, I like many styles, but most I like a clean, not too cluttered layout. I always try to make my projects well balanced and with colors that compliment each other. I was very happy to be a guestdesigner this week and loved working with the sketch!"

And here's Marjan's gorgeous card:

Here's our team's take on the sketch. Hope you all like it!
