<span style="font-size: large;">The challenge this week was to use this gorgeous photo to inspire a layout.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">For example, this could promote textural, colour, shape, or topic inspiration,
or <u>anything that makes you feel creative</u>. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Please be sure to tell us what you took from the inspiration piece when you post it to your blog and link it below using Mr. Linky. We'll be by to peek and leave you some "loves"! </span><br />

complete sweetheart, was a Percheron/Thoroughbred cross. Standing </span></span><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">18 hands high,
he was the largest horse that many of us at Rohan Wood Stables had ever seen,
let alone ridden. He was black in color with three white socks, and had a
striking number 1 shaped blaze running down the length of his face. I had the
opportunity to ride Patrick when his owners were kind enough to loan him to me
for my C1 level Canadian Pony Club Testing, as Grace was not quite ready for
that level of technicality. Although he was very lazy while being ridden, he
was calm and aimed only to please. Sadly, Patrick passed away from colic at the
age of 6, several months after these photos were taken. He was loved by all, and
will always be remembered as a gentle giant. </span></span><br />

Angela sent along her Bio so we could learn a little more about her.<br />
<u>Bio:</u> <br />
I'm an artist through and through! From my home in northern British
Columbia, I create art every day. As a homeschooling mom of three children, ages
7, 8 and 10, and a wife of fifteen years to Wade, I have a lot to juggle, but
courtesy of my large studio space and an understanding family, I have an
exciting part time business as an art educator, teaching both watercolour
painting and paper crafting. I'm a member of several art societies, and a
published paper crafter, and it is true what they say about creativity - the
more you use it, the more you have! I'm also a newly born athlete, discovering a
love for sports after I turned 30 (I'm 36) and I love to play soccer, cross
country ski, bike, run, swim and this Sunday I'll be doing my second sprint
triathlon, which is both scary and thrilling!<br />
<br />
My web site and blog can be
found at <a href="http://angelafehr.com/" title="http://angelafehr.com/">http://angelafehr.com</a> and I can also be found
on Facebook as <a href="ttp://facebook.com/angelafehrarts">Angela Fehr Artist</a>.<br />
<br />
Angela sent me three recent favourite projects, which I'll share here with you. <br />
<br />
The first is a beautiful card using the "Claire" paper collection from Close to My Heart.<br />

<b><span style="background-color: #ffd966;"><u>How do you win?</u> </span></b><br />
<b>Well, we will do things exactly the same way as we have done in other months! </b><br />
<b>Here's an explanation.</b><br />
<b><br />
</b><u><span style="font-size: x-small;"><b style="background-color: #ffd966;">How does the Challenge work?</b></span></u><br />
<u><span style="font-size: x-small;"><b style="background-color: #ffd966;"><br />
</b></span></u><span style="font-size: x-small;"><b>We will draw for a prize at the end of EACH MONTH. There will be TWO layout sketch challenges every month, so that means you'll have two chances to win the monthly prize. </b></span><br />
<b><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span><span style="font-size: x-small;">The amount of time you have to enter varies with each Challenge, so be sure to check carefully in the info on the Sketch you are creating your layout for. The due date will be CLEARLY NOTED for you. :) </span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span></b><span style="font-size: x-small;"><u style="background-color: #ffd966;"><b>LAYOUT SKETCH CHALLENGES: </b></u></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><b><u><br />
</u></b></span><span style="font-size: x-small; font-weight: bold;">When a new layout Sketch is posted on the Blog, you will also see an inspiration piece accompanying the Sketch.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small; font-weight: bold;"><br />
</span><b style="font-size: small;">Three things make up an S: CY "Sketch challenge"... </b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: x-small;">1) The layout sketch </span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: x-small;">2) The inspiration photo</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: x-small;">3) A Challenge described in words</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span></b><u><span style="font-size: x-small;"><b style="background-color: #ffd966;">What should you do for a chance to win the monthly prize?</b></span></u><br />
<u><span style="font-size: x-small;"><b style="background-color: #ffd966;"><br />
</b></span></u><span style="font-size: x-small;">1. Look at the layout Sketch and Inspiration photo. Read the challenge.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">2. Check and <u>write down the due date</u>! It will be clearly noted in each challenge. (One challenge will be finished <u>before</u> the next one starts.)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">2. Create a layout that fits the challenge.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">3. Post your PAPER OR DIGITAL layout on your Blog and share it with us by the Due Date, using "Mr. Linky." Mr. Linky can be found at the bottom of the post, but ONLY until the due date! Once the due date passes, Mr. Linky disappears. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span><u><span style="font-size: x-small;"><b style="background-color: #ffd966;">What does the Team at S: CY do?</b></span></u><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">1. After links are posted, the S: CY Team will visit every one of them to leave some "love." :)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">2. I will send you an <b>"I Played Along..." badge </b>to proudly display on your Blog! :)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">3. I will compile a list of all the links to LOs for each Sketch Challenge into a permanent link list in a post on the blog. Each entry will be numbered in the order it was received. This number becomes the number that will apply to you in the prize draw. (Example: If you are the third person to post your work, yours will be link #3 in the list.) Then, if, using Random.org, your number (ie: "3") is drawn, you are the winner!!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">3. We will do a PRIZE DRAW using Random.org at end of the month. Draw dates will be announced as each month starts.</span><br />

Note: This is my little guy, Noah, with his Educational Assistant, at a school dance. (Noah painted the inspiration piece for this week.) He has Autism Spectrum Disorder and was enjoying himself so much, the school staff had a hard time getting a great photo.

<b><span style="background-color: #ffd966;"><u>How do you win?</u> </span></b><br />
<b>Well, we will do things exactly the same way as we have done in other months! </b><br />
<b>Here's an explanation.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<u><span style="font-size: x-small;"><b style="background-color: #ffd966;">How does the Challenge work?</b></span></u><br />
<u><span style="font-size: x-small;"><b style="background-color: #ffd966;"><br /></b></span></u>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><b>We will draw for a prize at the end of EACH MONTH. There will be TWO layout sketch challenges every month, so that means you'll have two chances to win the monthly prize. </b></span><br />
<b><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">The amount of time you have to enter varies with each Challenge, so be sure to check carefully in the info on the Sketch you are creating your layout for. The due date will be CLEARLY NOTED for you. :) </span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></b><span style="font-size: x-small;"><u style="background-color: #ffd966;"><b>LAYOUT SKETCH CHALLENGES: </b></u></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><b><u><br /></u></b></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small; font-weight: bold;">When a new layout Sketch is posted on the Blog, you will also see an inspiration piece accompanying the Sketch.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small; font-weight: bold;"><br /></span>
<b style="font-size: small;">Three things make up an S: CY "Sketch challenge"... </b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: x-small;">1) The layout sketch </span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: x-small;">2) The inspiration photo</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: x-small;">3) A Challenge described in words</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></b>
<u><span style="font-size: x-small;"><b style="background-color: #ffd966;">What should you do for a chance to win the monthly prize?</b></span></u><br />
<u><span style="font-size: x-small;"><b style="background-color: #ffd966;"><br /></b></span></u>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">1. Look at the layout Sketch and Inspiration photo. Read the challenge.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">2. Check and <u>write down the due date</u>! It will be clearly noted in each challenge. (One challenge will be finished <u>before</u> the next one starts.)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">2. Create a layout that fits the challenge.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">3. Post your PAPER OR DIGITAL layout on your Blog and share it with us by the Due Date, using "Mr. Linky." Mr. Linky can be found at the bottom of the post, but ONLY until the due date! Once the due date passes, Mr. Linky disappears. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<u><span style="font-size: x-small;"><b style="background-color: #ffd966;">What does the Team at S: CY do?</b></span></u><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">1. After links are posted, the S: CY Team will visit every one of them to leave some "love." :)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">2. I will send you an <b>"I Played Along..." badge </b>to proudly display on your Blog! :)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">3. I will compile a list of all the links to LOs for each Sketch Challenge into a permanent link list in a post on the blog. Each entry will be numbered in the order it was received. This number becomes the number that will apply to you in the prize draw. (Example: If you are the third person to post your work, yours will be link #3 in the list.) Then, if, using Random.org, your number (ie: "3") is drawn, you are the winner!!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">3. We will do a PRIZE DRAW using Random.org at end of the month. Draw dates will be announced as each month starts.</span><br />

<a href="http://www.keelyy.blogspot.com/">Keely</a> is a very talented lady and I am so excited to have her with us! She was part of the Design Team here at Sketches: Creatively Yours 'long ago' in 2008. So happy to have her back! </div>

<u>Keely's Bio-</u><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">"Hi, I’m Keely Yowler. I have been paper crafting for 12 years. My passion is scrapbooking 12x12 layouts, but
I do enjoy the occasional altered project, card, and mini album<a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=5806624806946996333" name="_GoBack"></a>.
I love combining different patterned papers and lots of layering. Other than
patterned paper, my favorite crafty products are ink, chipboard, and bling. I
live in Georgetown, Kentucky with my 2 teenaged sons. I love visiting blogs and galleries admiring
the creativity of fellow crafters. I’m a
proud designer for Want2Scrap. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">When I’m not scrapbooking, I work as an
advanced practice nurse. I’m an avid
runner, love playing ball with my sons, and I’m addicted to Starbucks.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">I maintain an active blog at <a href="http://www.keelyy.blogspot.com/">http://www.keelyy.blogspot.com</a> and
love posting my projects on Pinterest and Facebook." </span></div>
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://want2scrap.com/blog/">Want2Scrap</a> is where Keely designs. She says it has "Such amazing chipboard and bling!" She also told me that <a href="http://want2scrap.com/blog/">Want2Scrap</a> is a small business, "run with TLC." She also said it's a place where there are "wonderful
products that inspire each of my crafty projects." Why not check it out? You will also find the Want2Scrap link in our sidebar.<br />

Speaking of crafty projects, here are some of <a href="http://www.keelyy.blogspot.com/">Keely's</a> favourites...<br />

never really used to “notice” the horses at the Zoo until we had one of our own
for Kate. As soon as we got Oakley in 2007, and then Grace in 2009, I took more
notice of these magnificent animals. Pete took photos of them more often, too.
They were just more “special” to see and watch. Even the miniatures at the Zoo commanded our
attention! They are such perfect little creatures--Noah knows that, too! Just
look at this special photo of him connecting with this baby pony!</span></span></b><br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;">As you know, we have a Sketch Challenge involving a monthly PRIZE here at S: CY every 2 weeks. Here are the details!</span><br />
<u><span style="font-size: x-small;"><b>How does it work?</b></span></u><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">We will draw for a prize at the end of EACH MONTH. There will be TWO sketch challenges every month, so that mean you'll have two chances to win the monthly prize.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">A photo of the prize will be posted. :)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">From now on, when a new layout Sketch is posted on the Blog, you will also see an inspiration piece accompanying the Sketch.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><b>These two things, together, make up a "Sketch challenge" which will be described to you in words. </b></span><br />
<b><span style="font-size: x-small;">1) Sketch </span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: x-small;">2) Inspiration piece</span></b><br />
<u><span style="font-size: x-small;"><b>What should you do for a chance to win the monthly prize?</b></span></u><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">1. Look at the Sketch and Inspiration piece. Read the challenge.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">2. Check and write down the due date! It will be clearly noted in each challenge. (One challenge will be finished <u>before</u> the next one starts.)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">2. Create a layout that fits the challenge.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">3. Post your PAPER OR DIGITAL layout on your Blog and share it with us by the Due Date, using Mr. Linky. Mr. Linky can be found at the bottom of the post, but ONLY until the due date!</span><br />
<u><span style="font-size: x-small;"><b>What does the Team at S: CY do?</b></span></u><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">1. After links are posted, the S: CY Team will visit every one of them to leave some "love." :)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">2. I will send you an <b>"I Played Along..." badge </b>to proudly display on your Blog! :)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">3. I will compile a list of all the links to LOs for each Sketch Challenge into a permanent link list in a post on the blog. Each entry will be numbered in the order it was received. ##This number becomes the number that will apply to you in the prize draw. (Example: If you are the third person to post your work, yours will be link #3 in the list.) Then, if, using Random.org, your number (ie: "3") is drawn, you are the winner!!##</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">3. We will do a PRIZE DRAW using Random.org at end of the month. Draw dates will be announced as each month starts.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">4. QUESTIONS? Shoot me an email at peteali@ eastlink. ca (NO SPACES).</span><br />

So happy you're here with us! <br />
It's already March 1st-- and that means we are here to reveal a brand new Sketch and our Design Team's interpretations.<br />
<br />
First of all though, I promised you all that things would be a little different at S: CY this term. So, a little explanation is in order! :)<br />
<br />
<u>How will things work?</u><br />
<u><br />
</u> We will draw for a prize at the end of EACH MONTH. There will be TWO sketch challenges every month, so that mean you'll have two chances to win the monthly prize.<br />
<br />
A photo of the prize will be posted. :)<br />
<u><br />
</u> From now on, when a new layout Sketch is posted on the Blog, you will also see an inspiration piece accompanying the Sketch.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>These two things, together, make up a "Sketch challenge" which will be described to you in words. </b><br />
<b>1) Sketch </b><br />
<b>2) Inspiration piece</b><br />
<br />
<u>What should you do for a chance to win the monthly prize?</u><br />
<br />
1. Look at the Sketch and Inspiration piece. Read the challenge.<br />
2. Check and write down the due date! It will be clearly noted in each challenge. (One challenge will be finished <u>before</u> the next one starts.)<br />
2. Create a layout that fits the challenge.<br />
3. Post your PAPER OR DIGITAL layout on your Blog and share it with us by the Due Date, using Mr. Linky. Mr. Linky can be found at the bottom of the post, but ONLY until the due date!<br />
<u>What does the Team at S: CY do?</u><br />
1. After links are posted, the S: CY Team will visit every one of them to leave some "love." :)<br />
2. I will send you an "I Played Along..." badge to proudly display on your Blog! :)<br />
3. I will compile a list of all the links to LOs for each Sketch Challenge into a permanent link list in a post on the blog. Each entry will be numbered in the order it was received. This number becomes the number that will apply to you in the prize draw. (Example: If you are the third person to post your work, yours will be link #3 in the list.) Then, if, using Random.org, your number (ie: "3") is drawn, you are the winner!!<br />
3. We will do a PRIZE DRAW using Random.org at end of the month. Draw dates will be announced as each month starts.<br />
<br />
QUESTIONS? Shoot me an email at peteali@ eastlink. ca (NO SPACES).<br />
<br />

reading poetry to get ready for the Mother's Tea in Mrs. Carlton's 3rd grade

<b>From the inspiration piece, I took the rectangular shape of the lamp and interpreted it with a striped tone-on-tone metal element. I used the metallic dotted swirls to mimic the floral damask print in the lampshade.</b><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span lang="EN-US">In the spring of 2012, as a grade six ELA and Art project, you retold a
Folktale with partner Ryan. It was quite a detailed assignment, and required the
creation of four puppets. You chose the “Lion” and the “Donkey.” Ryan did the “Warthog”
and the “Fox.” (I was <u>really</u> glad we didn’t have to create a warthog!) We sewed your puppets from scraps: a golden
yellow t-shirt sleeve became the Lion and a grey sock, the Donkey. You worked
the sewing machine, cut the yarn, and stitched on the manes with help. We stuck
the eyes on using Glue Dots and you drew the lion’s face with a “Sharpie”
marker. Both puppets turned out so cute, and from the look on your face, I
could see how those puppets ignited your imagination! Great job, Daniel!</span></b></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="http://sassyscrapper2010.blogspot.com/">Lynnette</a> sent in a Bio for me to share with you... </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hi! It’s <a href="http://sassyscrapper2010.blogspot.com/">Lynnette Nagle</a> reporting live from northwest New
Jersey where scrapbooking, candy making, ice hockey, figure skating and general
silliness occur on an almost regular basis in our home. I’m a busy stay-at-home
Mom of 2 great kids (11 and 5) and married (18 years) to my high school
sweetheart who works for a major candy company. It’s a sweet
life!</span><br />
<div align="left">
<span kerning="0" letterspacing="0" style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My love of paper and stickers started at a young age with my
scratch and sniff sticker collection and evolved into a part-time job at a
Hallmark card store in high school. I studied Elementary Education at West
Chester University, where in my free time I dabbled in rubber stamping. I used
my creativity to teach young children for 7 years, always trying to develop
innovative ways to make learning fun. Thinking back, the instructional bulletin
boards I would create in my classroom were sort of like scrapbook
pages.</span></div>
<div align="left">
<span kerning="0" letterspacing="0" style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I became interested in scrapbooking 11 years ago after the
birth of my son, but really only became passionate about the hobby 2 years ago
when I participated in Lain Ehmann’s Layout A Day scrapbook challenge. It was
there I “met” and was inspired by <a href="http://www.lovinglycreatedbyali.blogspot.com/">Ali MacDonald</a> and so many other talented
scrappers and started to take my hobby to the next level. Ali has also helped
me take my daily meal planning to the next level with her wonderful <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/243231955716241/">“Recipes to Share”</a> online resource. She has taught me to make my crock pot my best friend,
which in turn gives me more time for scrapping!</span></div>
<div align="left">
<span kerning="0" letterspacing="0" style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am currently on the Design Team at <a href="http://www.counterfeitkitchallenge.blogspot.com/">Counterfeit Kit Challenge</a>. This challenge blog focuses on
using your own stash to create fresh and current collections based on many of
the most popular (and often expensive!) monthly kit clubs. In addition to
creating layouts to document my memories, I love the process of creating kits. The thrill of hunting for papers and supplies from my own stash, the quest for
“making it work” and the chance to name and photograph my collection in an
inspired way really gets me excited. Of course, once you have a kit put
together, it is important to USE it. I am thrilled to be the March Guest
Designer for Sketches: Creatively Yours and to utilize this wonderful online
sketch resource to help transform my memories into meaningful and artistic
scrapbook layouts. You can visit my Blog <a href="http://sassyscrapper2010.blogspot.com/">HERE.</a></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Above is an example of one of my Counterfeit Kits and a layout
I created from it. This kit was from June 2012 and was inspired by our
daughter’s passion for gardening. She begged my husband to plant a garden, so
he did. I included papers and embellishments that gave the feeling of a summer
farmer’s market. I love to stage my kits for my blog posts using those
strawberry baskets to nestle all of my embellishments in and the little menu
chalkboard to display the name of my kit, "Farmer's Market". The creativity
goes way beyond just scrapping!</span><span kerning="0" letterspacing="0" style="color: black; font-size: x-small;"></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is an example of a true SCRAPbook page. I lost my Dad
last December and scrapbooking about him has been great therapy for me. While I
can’t bring him back, scrapping my memories makes me feel in control of what I
do have. I hemmed and hawed as to whether I should use pieces of his uniform
shirt on this layout. I wasn't even sure I was going to take it when we were
cleaning out his house. I then decided the patch and buttons will receive more
glory (if you will) here than sitting on a hanger in the back of my closet. I
am thrilled with the results and feel certain he is as well.</span></div>

<div>
<span lang="EN-US">I am a stay-at-home mom of 3 kids and live just outside of Richmond, VA. I have been memory keeping for a long time [</span><span lang="EN-US">When I was in college, I took on the task of putting together my fraternities’ scrapbook and won third place at the national convention for my work. That hooked me!], but I'm happy to say that my style has evolved quite a bit since the beginning. While I’m definitely more focused on layout and design than I used to be, I pay MUCH more attention to the story that I’m telling. I’m not just trying to get photos scrapped… I’m telling my children where they come from.</span><br />
<span lang="EN-US">My style is mostly clean. I tend to use three or more pictures on a lot of layouts, and I am a disaster when try to paint! Most of my layouts are about the kids or our family, but I also treasure my scrapped recipes... it makes cooking WAY more fun! I usually scrap during naptimes or after the kids’ bedtime. I average 2-3 pages in a week, but it’s mostly feast or famine… I’m VERY inspired and scrap a lot or I’m not feeling it at all and can’t bring myself to work on anything.</span><br />
<span lang="EN-US">I’m completely addicted to Pinterest, but I sometimes spend TOO much time looking for just the right inspiration for a page instead of trusting my own instincts. I do too much second-guessing. </span><br />
<span lang="EN-US">I love playing with paper and glue, and I love being back on board at S: CY! I hope you’ll join in the challenges and conversations on the boards. We have a lot of fun planned for the upcoming months!</span><br />

<b style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 115%;">You slept through it all, but at 1:51pm on August 23, we had an earthquake. B was on the computer playing on the American Girl website, and Z and I were playing Brain Quest. I initially thought it was a truck or motorcycle next door or a train out back, until Z asked what that noise was. I never before imagined an earthquake as being loud, but it definitely had a dull roar to it. After I few seconds, I said, “I think it’s an earthquake,” and B screamed. I didn’t think until afterwards that we should have headed to the downstairs bathroom, but we huddled together in the living room until it passed. It probably lasted 30-40 seconds, but I was grateful once I could tell it was subsiding. Daddy was at work and went outside after the plants and shelves started shaking. I can’t imagine living somewhere that this occurs often. Ridiculously, I once said that I wished I could be in a small earthquake just to know what it felt like… I hope that’s the only one that ever finds me. While it wasn’t terrifying, it definitely disturbed the big kids because there were lots of questions for the rest of the day about how earthquakes happen. Just days after the earthquake, Hurricane Irene went through, and we lost power for almost 2 full days… played LOTS of games on Saturday, lit candles, and made shadow puppets.</b><br />

I am a traditional scrapper and my style is fun & playful. I enjoy using bright colors, mixing patterned papers, vacation layouts, decorating boxes, multi-photo layouts, working with sketches, and making cards from scraps. The <a href="http://loandread.blogspot.com/">LO and Read</a> blog is where I share my hobbies. It is mostly about paper crafts, plus a few commentaries on books I have read thrown in for good measure. I hope you get a chance to stop by and say Hi!<br />

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hello Scrappy Friends! My name is <a href="http://260loverslane.blogspot.com/">Elisha Pharr</a>. I am a blessed wife to my handsome hubby, Jason and momma to my Princess Carley, and my Super Hero Gavin. We live in beautiful North West Alabama, where I own and operate an in-home daycare by day and shuttle my little ones to dance and karate by night. </span></span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I began scrapbooking 7 years ago, when Carley was two and I haven't stopped since. I am a former member of the Scrapbookers Clubhouse Design Team and the Paper Piecing Artist Guild. My work has also been featured on numerous blogs, including <a href="http://www.3scrappyboys.com/">3 Scrappy Boys </a>and <a href="http://www.inspiredtoscrap.net/">Inspired to Scrap</a>. As a pre-school teacher with a love for paper, scissors, and glue, it was only natural that I would fall in love with this great hobby! It also makes nap time the perfect time to scrapbook.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> When I'm not scrapbooking, I enjoy getting lost in a good book, cooking all those recipes I've pinned on Pinterest, and spending quality time with my family. My husband and I both love to sing and are active in our home church, Hackleburg Community Church. Jason plays bass in the youth band and I fill in on the Praise and Worship team from time to time. Jason is also a T8 Level Paraplegic from a spinal cord injury he suffered in a car wreck at the age of 16. We enjoy visiting with others with spinal cord injuries to encourage and give them hope of a normal, positive and productive life. </span></div>
<div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am beyond thrilled to be a part of the Sketches: Creatively Yours Team and look forward to the next 4 months of sketches, inspiration, and fun!!

<span style="font-family: Barrett;">Hi, I live in sunny northern <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Australia</st1:place></st1:country-region> and have been stamping for 16 years. About 2 years ago I discovered the world of blogging and just couldn't believe the amount of talent that is out there..it was definitely a real eye opener!! Since I started surfing the stamping blogs and stumbling onto the blog challenges...the fun has really begun. I have noticed just from joining in to as many challenges I have time for that my style has evolved and it just keep changing but for me, this makes crafting all the more fun. In my hunt for card challenges I came across an old sketch from Sketches: Creatively Yours and was invited to apply for the Card DT that was being called just at that time. Now I am so lucky to have been invited to actually create the Card Sketches and my stamping journey is off in another direction. I look forward to seeing the creations made with my sketches and I hope you enjoy your journey with us all at Sketches: Creatively Yours. </span><o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Hi, my name is <a href="http://www.adayinthelifetoo.blogspot.ca/">Ann</a> and I’m proud to have been a part of the Creatively Yours sketch site since 2009! I’ve been scrapbooking for 13 years and making cards about 10 years. I’m a very “clean” scrapbooker that doesn’t like clutter on her pages. I love patterned papers. I’m also a stamp addict. I’m Intermediate certified with Copic so I do a lot of coloring as well. Right now I’m in the middle of getting my Bachelor of Education and that keeps me really busy. I’m also juggling a family, my husband of almost 15 years and two boys ages 13 and 10. My favorite thing to scrapbook is our family vacations, so expect to see lots of those pictures. I find sketches are a great way to start a layout or card and I love looking at how everyone interprets them differently.</div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'm an RN (SAHM) and Mom to 4 kids (10-19) and multiple furry creatures in the Annapolis Valley of Nova Scotia. I married my best friend 20+ years ago. We're a military family-- Pete's in the RCAF (28 years!) I'm a scrapbooker with a clean style who loves to scrap horse and riding photos best... good thing we have a horse and 3 of 4 kids who ride! LOL Choosing colours and patterned papers is the easiest part of Sb'ing for me, followed by the journaling. Those who know me, know how I like to tell a good story on my pages. I find choosing embellies & using ephemera more challenging. I love to organize and write. I'm passionate about</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">animal advocacy and </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">supporting other families who have a child with Autism Spectrum Disorder.</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> I volunteer as a card-maker with three local non-profit groups: creating cards for them as needed. We live in a darling, tiny town with no LSS so I became a<a href="http://loveisthereason.myctmh.com/"> CTMH</a> consultant in 2011. Now I "shop my own store." I also <a href="http://theperfectcard-ali.blogspot.ca/">make cards</a> for clients: it sparks my creativity! </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'm really excited to have pulled together this strong team and to have Ann by my side yet again. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You will no doubt enjoy what we have in store for you this term! </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span><br />

<span style="background-color: white;"><b>FIRST: </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><b> Due to HUGE demand... </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><b>YES, the S: CY Design Team Call is coming <u>VERY</u> soon!!!!!!!!! </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><b>Please be on the lookout!</b></span></div>
<span style="background-color: white;"><u><b><br /></b></u></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><b>After much thought, and consideration of the Survey results, I have made some changes to the Blog. :) </b></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><b>So excited to announce that this is how </b></span><b>things will work at S: CY for a trial period of 4 months! </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
We will re-open on March 1st, 2013 with a brand new Design Team!!<br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white;">I'll post a Layout Sketch with corresponding fun "Scrappy Challenge" every second Friday during the month. You will get to enjoy our Design Team's interpretations at those times. There will be either 2 or 3 sketches posted EVERY month depending simply on how many Fridays fall in that particular month!! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white;">In months when there are 5 Fridays (ie: in March & May), I will use the "extra" Friday to post a Card Sketch and fun "Card-maker's Challenge!" DT interpretations will be featured here as well. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white;">Participants in all Sketch Challenges will be able to post their creations to the Blog by using Mr. Linky. They will have until a specified date to do so. That date will be clearly stated when the Challenge is posted. :)</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white;">Participants will be entered into a random draw for a scrappy prize at the end of every month. YAY!!! Prizes!!!!! </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white;">Guest Designers WILL be featured on the Blog in the coming months. </span><br />
<br />
An "I Played Along" Blog Badge will be mailed to all participants the first time they take part in the newly-developed S: CY Challenges. :)<br />
<br />
Now.... please stay tuned for the DT Call!!!!<br />
<br />
Some special people can also expect an email from me in the next 24 hours: be on the alert!<br />

Sharing a little local info this AM. It was sent to me by Merrilee, who was part of the Design Team here at S: CY a few years ago! Thanks for sharing it, Merrilee.<br />
<br />

The Band Association is holding a <a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/390332004373274/">Paper FUNraiser</a> on March 2nd, 2013.<br />
This is such a great idea I figured it'd be fun to share it on S: CY.<br />

Hope ALL local scrappers & cardmakers here in the Annapolis Valley area can come, enjoy, scrap and really make this a successful fundraising event for the band kids through the Band Association!!</div>
