Today I can finally share some exciting news! Jennipher Lowery chose me to be one of her new design team members for her new sketch challenge site, Scrappin' Silhouettes!

Here's a little information about Scrappin' Silhouettes by Jennipher Lowrey:

"First of all, your probably wondering what is a Scrappin' Silhouette.
Well here is the definition of silhouette:

A representation of someone or something showing the shape and outline only, typically colored in solid black. Starting to get the picture? Or should I say, Silhouette?

So, if you take the definition of "Silhouette" and you combine it with what you know scrappin' to be, you should end up with something like a scrappin' diagram, scrappin' sketch, a page plan etc. and that would be absolutely correct.

Scrappin' Silhouettes is my name for the scrapbook sketches I will be creating and sharing with you. For years now I have been following along with everyone else's sketches and one day I said, "wait a minute, why don't you create your own? You have the software, you have the time." So, I decided it's time for me to stop being a follower and do my own thing.

Since I know everyone has a different style of sketch they prefer I have set up a rotation that will offer something for everyone. Here goes...

First Thursday of every month will be a one-photo sketch
Second Thursday of every month will be a two-photo sketch
Third Thursday of every month will be a three-photo sketch
Fourth Thursday of every month will be a four-photo sketch

When there is a Fifth Thursday in a month we will have a double-page sketch with five or more photos.

I firmly believe that sketches are meant to be a starting point. Feel free to adapt any of my designs to suit your scrapping needs. Rotate or flip the sketch. Add or take away a layer or photo. Include more or less embellishments. Place the title in a different spot. All that matters is that you are inspired to create something!"

Every Thursday, Scrappin' Silhouettes will post a new silhouette and samples by the Design Team. Link up your finished layout based on the silhouette to be entered into a monthly drawing for a Rak!

Now on to my layout. I have been neglecting my scrapbooks lately so I was super excited when I was asked to be part of Jennipher's team! When you use a sketch or silhouette, your layouts come together so much faster and easier because it takes a lot of the guess work and design work out which I usually spend too much time stressing over!

My layout today uses these adorable pictures I have of our youngest Isabella! Products used:  The Girls Paperie - Paper Girl dp, SU cs and ribbon, Distress inks, Sizzix dies, Lil Davis Chip alphas, Making Memories paint, u/k buttons and machine stitching. The flowers were made using my new Tim Holtz Alterations Tattered Floral die.

Here's a look at this week's silhouette. I hope you play along!
