HOMEGROWN GUEST DESIGNER #8 | EMMA ZAPPONE

Today we welcome our 8th Home Grown Guest Designer to Scrap the Girls. This ladys style is multi faceted and of course Amazeballs. She has a way with sketches that shakes things up and makes them her own. Whether she is turning, shrinking or flipping, you can guarantee it will a fun and interesting layout. This one is no exception.

Please welcome Emma Zappone!

" Hi

, I'm Emma and I live in the Clare Valley of South Australia with my hubby and 2 amazing boys. I've been living and breathing Scrapbooking for over 10 years now. I love a challenge and don't really feel I have a specific 'style' as I tend to scrap a little how I feel at the time. But in saying that I do love playing with embellishments....maybe sometimes a little too much

How totally awesome to be asked to join 'Scrap the Girls' as a guest this month! Just a little bit exciting I can tell ya, cos these girls are fab!!

When I saw this amazing sketch my initial reaction was

multi photo

lol!! But then I thought I can interpret this to suit me and my style!! So, because I like flicking ink and paint around I squished the sketch and pushed it over to the side. Instead of filling the whole page. I wanted it to be bright and a little silly and my subject matter helped this process, these two are my gorgeous friends who were very happy to help me out

'Awesome' the word is also my OLW for the year and I want to use it in as many of my creations this year, it's not just a word, it's the meaning and the believing of this word that I use so much. And I want to believe that what I do is awesome, but I want others to believe they are too!!

A big thanks to Krisy for asking me to be a part of 'STG'.....your awesome

Em xx"

Have you linked up yet? I hope Emma has inspired you to have a go and see what you come up with for this months sketch.

Remember you can always share it on the Facebook wall if you don't have a blog to link up.

FEBRUARY 2017 CHALLENGE | SKETCH "MORE THAN ONE"

Hi Again,

Now that I have introduced the NEW team, it is time to get down to business. This month we are easing the girls in with a Sketch. I have read a lot about people wanting inspiration on how to incorporate more than one photo on a page. They want to tell the story as well as showcase more than one photo they have taken. This is the sketch for you! Plus I think this is the start of a great double page layout if that is your thing. Or you can just simplify it down and use one Photo....Remember its all about inspiration!

Here is the Sketch:

And this is what the team has come up with

Sue

Sandra

Kareen

This month we have an awesome NEW sponsor to Scrap the Girls - Kit the Habit. A little embellishment kit club that is based on Facebook. I personally love their little kits and they have a surprise pack just for us.... You will want to win it. So make sure you link up your pages or add them to the facebook wall. Oh, and head over and like their page.
