Sketch-y Friday, a Guest, and a Winner

Happy Friday!

Today we are launching our first challenge for February, we are starting just a bit early since it is such a short month.  We lalso have a guest designer joining us for the month!

But first let's choose a winner for our January challenges!

Which means our winner is  Janine R.!  Congratulations Janine,  email us at scrapmuch@rogers.com to claim your prize!  And don't forget to post this badge proudly on your blog.

Now let's get started with our newest sketch challenge, as always we have a double pager for the first challenge of the month.

We would like to introduce you to our guest designer, meet Sharlene Nye-Petrone!

"Hello, my name is Sharlene Nye-Petrone. I am a wife, a mother, a teacher, a quilter, and a scrapbooker. I currently live in Cambridge with my husband, Robert Petrone of 14 years and two boys; Tyrone (13) and Jayron (11).
I love spending time with my family, taking photographs, scrapbooking and just about anything creative! I was introduced to the world of scrapbooking by a Creative Memories party back in 1997 but I didn’t start scrapbooking until I gave birth to my son, Tyrone in 2001. So I have been scrapbooking for almost 14 years. I enjoy taking snapshots of my children, places and events. Over the years, my style has changed. I like to try new techniques. I like to work on layout with variety of colours as I like to add different embellishments to play with until the page meets my satisfaction. I am learning as much as I can and get inspiration from other scrapbookers."

This is Sharlene's wonderful take on the challenge:

And here is your Team A DT inspiration!
