Hi everyone

Hope you are all enjoying the beautiful start of this spring. Plenty of photo opportunities especially here in Canberra with the Floriade happening!! I'll make sure to have my camera with me when are going to enjoy all the gorgeous flowers there.



Let me introduce you to Laura Overdyk, our guest designer of this month.



Hi I'm Laura. I'm a stay at home mum to my wonderful children, Kaytie and Luke. They are my inspiration for my scrapping creations. I have been scrapping for about 4 years but more seriously this year. I love the CIS community and have learnt so many things here and all the girls are great! I'm so excited to be part of the CIS sketch blog this month, so join in and have fun!

I have made the sketch for this week. Mine is an 8.5" x 11" but feel free to adapt it to any size you like!!





Here are the gorgeous examples of the girls. Enjoy!!
