Hi there!

Today we are excited to reveal  our April Sketch Challenge as well as introduce our

April Sketch Artist

Laura Whitaker

Laura:
Hello! I am so excited to be a guest designer here at Scrap Our Stash, it was such an honour to be invited. 
Let me tell you a bit about myself, 

I am a mom to 3 boys (Chris 25, Jon 23, and Timmy 12) and a crazy Olde English Bulldogge puppy named Max! I have been married to my sweetheart (Ian) for 27 years. As well as being a homeschooler, I am a very passionate papercrafter. I have been crafting in various forms all my adult life and scrapbooking for about 15 years and loving every minute of it. I am in love with my Silhouette, and really enjoy creating my own cut files, I usually offer a couple of freebies on my blog each month. 

I also run my own challenge site called Stuck?! Sketches, and am fortunate to be on the DT’s of an online and mobile store called ScrapMuch?, a kit club called Boys Rule Scrapbook Kits, and a Canadian manufacturer called Evalicious which offers embellishments, stamps and journaling cards.

Laura:

"I loved the mood board that S.O.S is showcasing in their challenge this month, the vibrant colours and geometric shapes really spoke to me. I do not often play with hot pink (being the mom of boys), so I loved adding it to my page for this challenge! I used lots of Crate papers goodies on my page as well as some other odds and ends, like the rub-ons that have been in my stash for probably ten years (yikes!). 

I would love for you to visit my blog and if you let me know you were there, I will come and visit yours!"

With this month's awesome sketch, the color inspiration photo and Laura's beautiful reveal, you should be inspired to get your scrap on!
