Our February Guest Sketch Artist and Designer...

is none other than the fabulously talented Monika Martinson!

Monika designs beautiful sketches and has created TWO layout sketches PLUS TWO interpretations of her sketches for us here this month!

February 5th will be the reveal day for the first of these sketches PLUS Monika's and the S:CY Design Team's fabulous interpretations!

I asked Monika to share a bio with us...

Guest Designer and Sketch Artist Monika Martinson

First of all I would like to say thank you for the honor of being selected guest sketch artist.

My name is Monika (aka Moma). I live in Sweden, just outside of Stockholm with my husband and our daughter who is now five.

I have been scrapping since 2004, when my DD was born. Like every one else I wanted to save those precious first photos in a special way. Now I have to admit, I don’t just scrap to keep our memories but also because this is the best way ever for me to be creative.

My scrapbooking style is romantic, shabby, but I also enjoy digital scrapbooking. That has actually been a perfect way for me to learn Photoshop, a skill that I need in my work.

Here is Monika's sketch site! Have a peek, you will be bowled over by her beautiful creations!
Welcome to Sketches: Creatively yours Monika! We are so thrillled to have you with us!

Be sure to check in on Friday morning everyone! There will be some beauty and creativity here at S:CY yet again!

Very excited...

today as it is the first of February!!!!

Don't you just love a new month?

Warmest thanks to my amazing friend and scrappy aficionado Deanne Burton who provided us with 2 gorgeous sketches in January! Thanks so much Deanne! YOU ROCK!

On to February...We have a special combined Guest Sketch Artist AND Designer to introduce you to this month.... her talent is jaw-dropping!

Plus we have a brand-spankin' new Card Sketch from our Senior Designer, Ann Seleshanko, all ready to share.

More to come, so stay tuned!!!!!

It's going to be ANOTHER great month here at Sketches: Creatively Yours! So glad you're along for the fun~!

Sherry writes:"I needed to make a gift and I found the sketch most helpful when it came to the composition of this canvas. I'm sending you both views - with the "trap door" open and closed."
(I love it Sherry! It's ingenious!)
