Welcome! This week's post is chock full of great stuff. Say hello to the new DT and the Oct. GDT, Ashley! SO, let's get to it. Here is your inspiration for this week's sketch.

































 Suzy





And this month's GDT is Ashley Horton! Let's get to know her.

Hi Everyone!  My name is Ashley Horton and I am honored and delighted to be the Guest Designer for the month of October, here at Sketchy Thursdays!!  

My husband, Tyler and I, are daddy and mommy to three energetic kiddies...Madison, Emma, and Reese.  I started Scrapbooking over 5 years ago and it has been my passion ever since.  My love of Scrapbooking, stems from being able to preserve the big and little moments of my childrens' lives.  I love being able to tell a story through the photos, the journaling, and the design of my page.  

Recently, I have had the privilege of being asked to serve on 2 Design Teams, so between scrapping, taking care of family, and tyring to keep a clean house, I stay fairly busy!  My work has also been published in Creating Keepsakes Super Fast Pages with 4x6 Photos Vol. 2 and the Sassy Lil' Sketches EBook.  I also have an upcoming layout that will be published in the January issue of Creating Keepsakes, that was chosen for the Reader's Pick Poll.  

It is hard to describe my Scrapbooking style, because I like to try a little bit of everything!!  Participating in challenge blogs has helped me to grow a lot over the past year, and I really enjoy trying new styles and techniques.  

Other than Scrapbooking, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, taking pictures, watching movies with my hubby, and reading!  

Once again, I am so excited to be able to share with you this month and I look forward to seeing what all of you create.  You can check out my work on my blog:  http://ashleyspaperdoll.blogspot.com/ and my Gallery at Club CK:  http://webmail.rochester.rr.com/do/redirect?url=http%253A%252F%252Fclubcreatingkeepsakes.com%252Fmedia%252Fg%252Fashleyhorton1675%252Fdefault.aspx%253FSort%253DMostRecent%2526PageIndex%253D1
