6.2 sketch challenge


Hello! It's Thursday, so we have a new sketch for you to play along with. The DT really outdid themselves this week. Take a look...










Welcome our Guest Designer for June, Smitha!


Hello everybody! Thanks so much for voting and making me the guest designer for this month! A little bit about me. I am Smitha Katti, a complete scrapbooking addict, I love everything scrapbooking; be it paper, digital or hybrid and you will always find me in the middle of some craft project or another. All my life I have been drawn to crafts of all kinds—paper crafts, photography, knitting, crocheting, sewing, painting, sketching or sculpting. To me scrapbooking is so versatile, it allows me to bring my other hobbies into a layout or card and that is always refreshing.

You can see more of my work at my blog www.smilingcolors.com. I currently am designing for Jessica Sprague and Let's Capture these Sketches. I was recently also invited to join the Fiskars design team, and am very excited about this!

I live in Minneapolis, Minnesota with my husband and darling baby daughter who is 21 months old. We are also expecting another baby real real soon :)


Thanks, Smitha, for joining us this month! Love your page, and congrats on all the good news!

Roberta: Mother of 3 said...

Whew! I got it done and linked! I enjoyed the simplicity of this sketch with one photo! This is a challenge for me because I tend to want to fill up all the white space!!! Natalia: love the green monochromatic theme to your example! DT: Everything you created is beautiful, and best of all, each layout showcases the photo you chose! Thanks again! Roberta
