Sketch 160

Please give a big Pencil Lines welcome to Kathie Link. Anna provided this weeks sketch.

Here's what Kathie had to say:

Hi, I'm Kathie Link. I live in Adelaide, Australia, with my husband Phil and our four year old son Jamie.  I work part-time as an occupational health and safety adviser but in the evenings, when Jamie’s in bed, you’ll find me at the kitchen table being creative.   I’m a current Australian Scrapbooking Memories Master, and have been contributing to Scrapbooking Memories magazine exclusively this year which has been fun. I’m also on the design team for Aussie Scrap Source, an Australian scrapbooking distributor.

My scrapbooking style is probably best described as quirky and whimsical. I love texture and dimension, and colour. Time moves far too quickly and I have a need to record as much of it as I can, so you’ll usually find some story scribbled somewhere on the page.  I’m delighted to have been invited to be a guest designer on Pencil Lines.

You can see more of Kathie lovely work on her blog.

With all the amazing inspiration we have offered already, you didnt think we would forget a new sketch did you! Please give a big Pencil Lines welcome to this weeks guest designer, Wendy Sue Anderson from Cosmo Cricket. Anna provided this weeks sketch, and Cosmo Cricketare this weeks design team sponsors.

Here is what Wendy had to say:

Hi there! I’m Wendy Sue Anderson and I have been a scrapbooker since I could hold a pair of scissors - honestly!  I grew up with a very creative mother and she passed her love of creating and crafting on to me.  There’s not a day that goes by when you won’t find me doing something creative…or at least thinking about it!  I’m hoping my four cute kiddos are as passionate about creating as I am – so far, so good.  Right now I’m having lots of fun designing for some of my very favorite scrapbook companies and I’ve been blessed to have several of my projects published in some fabulous magazines and idea books as well.  Thanks so much, Anna, for inviting me to be a guest designer for your site this week – and Happy Birthday!!! 
You can see more of Wendys work on her blog.
