I'm Becca Huber and I live in Ohio with my DH of 28 years and our college age DD. I've been scrapping for over 11 years and have completed around 60 albums. Like so many, I started with a CM class and found out quickly that there were so many other cool items I needed to have out there.  I'm a real paper  junky!  If I see new paper, I just have to have it.  I also love gadgets.  I have quite a few that I don't use as often as I should.  Maybe if I had a dedicated scrap room and everything was organized,I'd be better at utilizing my stash of goods.  Oh well, a girl can dream!

I'm a fast scrapper.  Most of my pages are clean, graphic styled with no lumps and very little fru fru items.  My favorite technique is printing my titles and journaling directly on my 12x12 pages with my 13" printer.  I also love strips of paper on layouts with the occasional circle and using Stickles glitter glue.  In my opinion, every layout also needs a touch of black for contrast.  Just don't go and see how many of my layouts have no black in them. :)

Hi!  I am Tiare Smith.  Not only am I the proud owner of Classy Coordinates but I am an avid scrapbooker.  It is truly my passion!  I have the most wonderful supportive husband and family.  No children or pets.  However, I do have a beautiful niece who provides me with plenty of inspiration.  I find inspiration in all that I do and my life in general.  I am surrounded by wonderful people, places and things and I scrapbook them.  Whether it is a fun vacation, a walk along our lake, looking out our back door, sharing a meal with my dh or friend, being with family I find joy in sharing and saving those memories.  For me the creative outlet is just as important as saving the memories.  It is relaxing, freeing and can be therapeutic in times of need.

Not only do I enjoy scrapbooking but I enjoy creating sketches and I find that having a supply of sketches I have created helps me to get my pages done a bit faster, when I decide to sit down and create.  Of course, being the owner of tons of cardstock, way too much patterned paper, more rub ons than you can imagine and plenty of flowers, ribbon and other embellies helps a bit too!  I can literally sit down any day and have everything I need...the right colors and all.

I am so glad to share this site and the Plush/Classy Paks with you each month, along with a collection of sketches.  I hope that you find inspiration here.  I know that every scrapper who has crossed my path has inspired me in some way and I’d love to do the same!  Enjoy your visit!

Hi, my name is Tena Ellison; I am married and we have a very intelligent, beautiful daughter. They are both very supportive & so much of my inspiration. We live in Georgia , but being a retired military family we have lived in many places, both state side & abroad. I started scrapbooking around 2000 and like so many of us, was hooked right away. At my first crop, I knew that this was definitely for me. I don’t really know if I have a signature styleor if I want one, I love trying out new techniques. This hobby/craft has endless possibilities and I never want to stop being inspired to learn new things.

I’m very excited and honored to be a DT member at Classy Coordinates. I hope by sharing my layouts and other projects that I can help inspire others, as well as being inspired by this wonderful hobby/craft we call scrapbooking!

INTRODUCING OUR 2010 SKETCH A DAY DESIGN TEAM!!!

My name is Judy Wright and I live with my husband of over 26 years on a farm south of Battle Creek, Michigan. By day I am a high school science teacher, but in the evenings and weekends I am a scrapaholic. My favorite subjects are my grandchildren.  I have been involved in crafts all my life and scrapbooking the last 3 years. I love sketches and how easy they make it to put a layout together. I credit them for helping me complete well over 250 layouts in 2008. I am looking forward to the new challenge of being on the Sketch A Day Design Team and using the 2009 sketches to show just how easy it is to complete a layout using a sketch. Sketches can also be great motivators to get started on a layout and sometimes after getting started, the layout takes on a life of its own and ends up looking nothing like the sketch. Another great thing about sketches is that even when using the same sketch, no two layouts are ever alike. Did I say, I love sketches?

My name is Aysha Livingston and I currently live in Maryland, although I am a proud Bronx, NY native.  I’ve been scrapbooking “the safe way” since 2000 but have always had a way with creativity.  Once in JHS I did a science project on dinosaurs and my teacher said, “You’ve created a nice piece of art but where’s the science?”  Well, I’m still searching for the science.  In the meantime, I express myself artistically through scrapbooking, photography, journal & card-making, graphic design and occasional soap & candle making.  I’m not sure how to define my scrapbooking style but I do believe that scrapbook layouts should tell a story either with pictures and/or journaling…otherwise it’s just a photo album.

I am thrilled to be a part of the Sketch A Day design team!  I hope that by sharing my layouts, others will see how quick & simple scrapbooking can be with the help of a sketch.  Yet, you can easily add your own flavor to them, making each layout a unique creation.

My name is Thomisia Francois, born and raised in Dallas, Texas. I've been with my husband since high school and we have four daughters. I love having fun all while having my camera in one hand. Needless to say, I have a great love for photography and scrapbooking. If it's not in my scrapbook, then it just didn't happen.

Hello there! My name is Mandi King.  I live in Rogers, AR with my wonderful husband and 3 great kids that are the super stars of my scrapbook pages.  I love to create layouts that are fun and interesting to look at no matter what style or technique I use. Utilizing Tiare's sketches gives me an opportunity to take an idea and make it mine by adding special touches without having to spend all my time focusing on the basic layout design.  I hope to inspire and encourage others to take the sketches as the beginning of a great layout and make it their own.

Hi!  My name is April Smith. I currently reside in the mountains of West Virginia.  I was introduced to scrapbooking during a Close to My Heart Party at my church over five years ago.  At the time, I didn’t understand why so many women seem obsessed with "cutting and pasting" pictures in an album.  Little did I know that scrapbooking was so much more.  I love to try out new tools and techniques. I have an eclectic style ...combining vintage findings with modern flair. 

I am so happy to be apart of the SKETCH teams here at Classy Coordinates. Like me, you will  use the sketches and designer's ideas to create layouts effortlessly.  I hope I am able to inspire you to create treasured keepsakes for generations to come.

My name is Cynta Outterbridge and I live in Philadelphia, PA.  I have been scrapbooking since the birth of my daughter Danielle in 2004. My coworker introduced me to scrapbooking one day while we were at lunch and I haven’t looked back since.  I have been married to my best friend for the last eight years and we have one daughter, Danielle, who is my main muse for my scrapbooking pages.  We have recently been blessed with caring for my 20 month old nephew AJ who is a busy little boy.  I pour everything I have into my scrapbooking which is also therapeutic for me.  When I am not scrapbooking you would probably find me singing the praises of God at church or at home.   

I am not sure how to define my particular style yet because I am always seeking and trying something new.  So my style has variations.   I am so happy to have been chosen to be member of this team. I love working with Tiare’s Sketches they make me think and they are fun! I am hoping to pass on my excitement about Tiare’s Sketches onto you!

My name is Heather Gorhan and I currently reside in Texas. I have a wonderfully supportive husband and two fast growing boys who keep me on my toes with endless options to record. I have been in love with scrapbooking for almost 9 years now. I have always loved to create just about anything I can get my hands on. It all started in JHS with charcoal drawing, continued in HS with jewelry making and now as an adult with scrapbooking combined with mixed media crafting. I appreciate so much how capturing your life and recording it on paper can give you even more of an appreciation for what is important. If I had to describe my style I would say contemporary. I love the look of clean lines, patterned paper and I need my embellies to set it off just right.

I am so excited to be a member of the Sketch a Day Design Team! I have always been a slow scrapper, due to the fact that I am a perfectionist. About a year ago I found sketches and they have been a godsend. I enjoy the direction a sketch provides with endless possible outcomes and nobody ever sees a sketch the same. Fascinating. I look forward to working with a very talented team and leader! 

I’m Moanica Caston.  I am married to my high school sweetheart and we live right outside Atlanta, Georgia.  We have a 10-year-old rescue dog named Baxter and she is the source of lots of laughs and fun at our house.

I started scrapping about 11 years ago after attending a Creative Memories party and have been hooked ever since.  It has taken me a while, but I have discovered my scrapbooking style – I love clean lines, lots of patterned paper and I use a sketch 99% of the time.  So, being on the Sketch A Day Design Team is right up my alley! 

Hello! I'm Tammy Cunningham. I live in Virginia Beach Virginia with my husband of 13 years and our two wild boys. They are my true inspiration in all my scrapbooking ventures, plus they are great critics too!! LOL

I'm a stay at home mom, and a compulsive scrapbook shopper. If I see it I gotta have it! LOL I am also a graduate of Penn Foster Career School, with a diploma in Photography, which is my second passion next to my wonderful family. I also enjoy card making, and stamping.

My scrapbook style, that is a hard one for me to answer. I guess I would say that most of my pages are mostly boyish and neat. My cards are the only thing that I really get into the girly and frilly things. Plus I use sketches in everything that I do. I just love Classy Sketches!!

I am deeply honored to be part of Tiare's/ Classy Coordinates Design Team. I have lurked around the site for 2 years posting some things that I have worked on and decided to take a chance. Thank you so very much Tiare for this great adventure!

Hi my name is Melissa. I have been scrapping for about 10 years and in the last 2-3 the pastime has helped me keep my sanity through some really challenging times. I am originally from Joliet, IL --- about 30 miles South of the "Chi". I have been living in the Atlanta Metro area since 1998.

I scrap mostly about me (single; no children) chronicling my life, my loves, my losses and everything in between. I also really enjoy cardmaking, so this assignment is right up my alley. Part of the enjoyment of cardmaking for me is that once I have made the cards, I get to share them with others - either by using them to send greetings or giving them as gifts for others to use.

I am looking forward to a great experience as a member of the team and hope that others can get some inspiration from my submissions.
