2.4 sketchy thursdays challenge


Happy Thursday everyone! We're here with another sketch for you to work with this week. Let's see what the DT did with the sketch.









Let's meet Sandra, our Guest Design Team Member for February. She wowed us with her vintage page last month, now she gets to join us for a whole month!

Hi, my name is Sandra van der Geest, 38 years young and married to the sweetest guy ever, Michael. I'm a stay-at-home mother of three kids in the age of 11, 9 and 2. We live in The Netherlands.
I am honoured and thrilled to be your GDT this month and I'm really looking forward to it.

I have been scrapping since 2004, but I've been totally addicted since the beginning of 2009. I'm also a digital scrapper, more or less by coincidence after reading a tutorial about Photoshop Elements. Soon after that I became a member of the digital creative team at Kaisercraft. I also design for a dutch distributor of Kaisercraft, mostly mini-albums and layouts, to promote their products at tradeshows.

My style of scrapping depends on the pictures I use. I prefer freestyle with bright and funky colours, paint and buttons, but I also like to try new techniques or styles, like my vintage layout for the GDT challenge.

My kids are mostly my scrap-objects, and sometimes I think it is hard for them having a scrapbooking mom...always me and my camera...always scrapping or thinking or reading about it!

Would you like to see more of my work, please visit my blog.
