Simple Sketches # 17

This week's guest designer is Lisa Peeples! Lisa joins us as our last official guest designer of 2013. Next team A sketch will reveal our new replacement for the rest of this term. I bet you are all excited to meet her!

Hi! My name is Lisa Peeples and I was super excited to be invited to guest design for Simple Sketches. Melissa is a friend that I met online through our passion for scrapping and I have loved using her sketches. I started scrapbooking shortly after my oldest son was born 16 years ago. My style has definitely evolved over the years. I would classify myself as having mostly a clean, simple style. I like trying my hand at new techniques and love to use all kinds of different embellishments, inks and my new favorite, washi tape. I have recently delved into the mixed media world and am trying to build my confidence in off the page projects. It's funny that I have never seen myself as having any artistic talent whatsoever and am only recently seeing that I can push myself to express my creativity in different ways. When I am not scrapbooking I am very busy being a wife to my sweet husband David. We just celebrated twenty years this last summer. I am also a mother to Nathan, who is turning sixteen on Monday and beginning to drive (YIKES!) and Chris, my fourteen year old who adds humor to our lives in droves. I have stayed home with them since Nathan was born and have only recently began to substitute teach a few days a week. I love to cook and am lucky enough to have a son who enjoys cooking and watching Food Network with me. I would love for you to take time to visit my blog at www.snappinandscrappin.blogspot.com.

And without further adieu, here is sketch 17 and all of the beautiful pages it inspired!

This week's Simple Sketches sketch is a quick and easy layout for those 4x6 photos you may have lying around! I know I do. Or, you can change the sizes to meet your needs, add or take away photos--whatever tickles your fancy! This week's team really created some beautiful pages with this sketch and we can't wait to see yours... Make sure to share your page at the inLinkz at the bottom of this post!

Simple Sketches # 15

This week's guest designer on Simple Sketches, introducing Sketch 15, is Debbie Piercey!

Hi, my name is Debbie Piercey. I live in sunny Arizona with my hubby of 35 years, our son, and his three daughters. I have been scrapbooking since around 1999 and it is what keeps me sane. I love playing with paper and glue and creating something pretty. I am pleased to be a Guest Designer at Simple Sketches. I love to play along whenever I get the chance.
