~Patti


~Lucy Edson~

Hi! I'm Lucy Edson. I have 1 daughter who was my inspiration to start scrapping 2 years ago. I have been married for 12 years. My artistic background is varied - I love many mediums: stained glass, quilting, fiber art, mixed media & of course scrapbooking. I also teach at my LSS. I am excited to bring my own take to Patti's sketches.


~Elayne Grueber~

Hi! My name is Elayne Grueber & I live in Michigan with my husband Jim & our four boys (Nate age 8, Josh age 6, Zach age 3 & Ethan age 1). I have a Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering and a Master's Degree in Civil Engineering and worked in the civil engineering field before my children were born. After my second son was born, I switched careers and am now a stay at home mom - it is a great job!! We are a pretty active family & enjoy spending time outside (hiking, camping, walks, or just playing at the park). I've been scrapbooking for about seven years and absolutely love it. One of my favorite parts about scrapbooking is the journaling - with journaling the layouts preserve not only the pictures but also the thoughts & feelings of the moment. I am excited to be on the design team & work with Patti & her sketches!


~Rachel Hall~

Hello! My name is Rachel Hall. I was born; raised, and still reside in Prescott Arizona with my wonderful husband Drew and our beautiful daughter, Roslyn.

I began scrapbooking in late 2001 when my best friend showed me a couple of projects that she was working on. With my head filled with ideas, I went out and bought some supplies and have been scrapbooking ever since!

Throughout my time scrapbooking I have been honored to serve on several online design teams, creating layouts and altered projects as well as writing articles. I am currently residing as the design team coordinator for Café Prima. In 2006, my dream of someday being published came true when I was published in the Memory Makers book, “Imperfect Lives”.

My style varies as I learn and am inspired by new things, but it always remains on the shabby/vintage/girly side of things. I love all things feminine and beautiful and find that I get to do all of that to my hearts content in scrapbooking.

Aside from scrapbooking I am an avid reader and writer, amateur photographer and history buff. You can usually find me with my daughter, doing any one of those things and consuming copious amounts of caffeine!

I am so honored and excited to be a part of such an amazing design team here at PHutch Sketches and look forward to being inspired and inspiring others!


~Hilde Janbroers~

Hi, my name is Hilde Janbroers and I'm a 28 year old SAHM of 2 daughters. I am married to Andries, my lovely DH. We live in the Netherlands in a town called Leidschendam. I started scrapping 1,5 year ago. I never stopped since. I really love all those gorgeous papers and embellishments! My favorite style is vintage. I love lace and beautiful flowers.
I really hope you will all enjoy the gorgeous sketches made by Patti!!


~Emily Jones~

My name is Emily Jones, I am a Wife to my super hunky hubby James, and Mommy to Joey (5), Jake (3) and Lily (Born 11-27-07) I have been scrapping for 12 years now, but have become OBSESSED since my oldest was born!
If I had to describe my style, it would be, color, layers, texture! I absolutely love mixing and matching patterned paper, and finding unique embellishments!
When I'm not scrapping, (which is rare) you can find me enjoying my other hobbies which are: Singing Opera, playing board games with my family, and hanging out with our Black Lab Molly!
I am so excited to be a part of Patti's Design Team! I love her sketches and continuously find inspiration from them! I can't wait to begin working with this amazing team, and hope to inspire you!


~Molly Peckham~

Hi, everyone! My name is Molly Peckham And I am soooo very excited to be a part of PHutch Sketches Design Team! I've been blissfully married to Paul, my Navy man (been in 12 years!!!), for these past 8 years, and have been blessed to be a Mom for over 6 years now, to 3 wonderful Children; Brendan, who is 6, Alex, who is 4, and Caitlynn, who is one. I have been scrapping for over 6 years now, and I still am as excited, if not more then, with this hobby (way of life, etc), then when I first started. I am so excited to be partaking in this adventure with Patti, and the rest of the PHutch Sketches Design Team, and am so happy to be here.


~Christine Penaflor~

Hello! I’m Christine, and I live with my husband of 17 years, our five children, and a Shih Tzu named Suki. I’ve been scrapping for over four years now. It all started when I was introduced to rubber stamping by a relative of ours five years ago, and I thought it would be a great thing to do with my daughters at the time. Little did I know that it would lead to a passion for card making, scrapbooking (both paper and digital forms), and almost all things paper crafting!
I am honored to have been asked to be a part of this team and thank Patti for giving me this wonderful opportunity!

March Sketch LAYOUTS are here!!

Sorry I'm so late this month. It's been crazy busy and I'm just getting back into the swing of things!! I hope you enjoy the sketches this month. Two Page Sketches are back again this month. I slacked off a little over the last few months but two page layouts seem to be popping up in the scrap mags so I wanted to give you a little inspiration!!


~One Page Sketch~

It's time to break out the rubons and stamps for this layout. The three photos are 5.5 x 3.5. There is plenty of room for journaling and a large title. Enjoy!

~Two Page Sketch~

Two page layouts are back. This one has lots of room for photos. The large focal point photo is 5.75 x 7.75 (not counting the mat). The NINE smaller photos are 3x3. You can use the spaces for photos, paper, or embellishments. Again, plenty of room for journaling and a large title. Enjoy!

And...if you're feeling up to it, check out my challenge on A Million Memories. There is a RAK involved!!!



~Card Sketch~

I love BIG cards. This one measures 8.5 x 5.5 (or one 8.5x11 sheet of paper folded). I'm also inpsired by all of the shaped paper availble so I wanted it on my card this month. Add some ribbon and a flower (or other embellishment) and you're all set. Enjoy!

February Layouts are in da house!

I'd like to thank my friends on the Design Team at A Million Memories for allowing me to post their layouts. They are an amazing group of talented ladies! Here is just a few of their layouts & cards.

February Sketches - It's all about LOVE baby!!

Do you love Valentine's Day as much as I do? I'm not THAT romantic but I really do get spoiled by Mike. He usually doesn't spend a ton of money but he always has a nice little surprise waiting for me. I hope you are inspired by these "love-style" layouts. And of course, you can use them for any occasion by replacing the hearts with your own embellishments.

Check back later this month to see what amazing projects the gals from the A Million Memories Design Team do with these sketches!!

Enjoy!!

~One Page Sketch~

For this sketch you only need 3 4x6 photos, some paper scraps, (heart) embellishments and something for a title. You can add your journaling anywhere or replace one of the large boxes.

~Card Sketch~

The finished size for this card is 8x5" because I thought it would be cool to receive such a huge card. Of course, you can make it any size. And again, replace the hearts and sentiment for any occasion!

January Layouts!

Once again I'd like to thank my friends on the Design Team at A Million Memories for allowing me to post their layouts. They are an amazing group of talented ladies! Here is just a few of their layouts & cards.

Happy New Year!! January 2008 Sketches

WOW!!! I just looked back at my "older" sketches and I've come a long way baby. I have been doing sketches for THREE YEARS now!! Can you believe it? I remember thinking when I saw my first sketch, "Why would someone do that? What would you do with a sketch"? LOL...if only I knew then what I know now.

I hope you are inspired by these sketches. Later this month I'll be adding layouts. Wait until you see what the A Million Memories Design Team did this month....can you say WOW!!! (Ok..that's my new word....I've been using it a lot lately).

~One Page Sketch~

For this sketch I was inspired by all of the gorgeous shaped paper that is on the market. Even shaped cardstock will work just beautifully. There is one 5x7 photo with (5) 2x1.5" supporting photos. There is room for a small title and a cute journaling block. I can't wait to see what you come up with.

~Card Sketch~
Also inspired by shaped paper, this card is perfect for any occasion. The finished size is 5.5 x 5.5 which fits perfectly into a 6x6" square envelope. There is a spot for a simple greeting or any other journaling you might want to add. (I think this would also make a cute cover to a mini album). I hope you are inspired too!

December Layouts!!

Check out the December Layouts!! I have to give a HUGE THANKS to my peeps from the A Million Memories Design Team for allowing me to use their projects on my blog. I love how each project and card truely shows their scrapping style. If you love their work, you should check them out at A Million Memories!!!

December Sketches

Well....it's that time of year when things get a little crazy. This month, I only had a few minutes to put together a one page sketch and a card sketch. If I get a chance, I'll try to post a two page sketch later in the month. ENJOY!!!

~One Page Sketch~

This sketch is perfect for that one special photo with a smaller space for an accent photo or other special memorabilia. There is room for journaling and a long title, which wraps around the smaller photo. You can add your own embellishments but I decided that birds are hot so I went with the bird. Don't you just love it!

~Card Sketch~

I thought it would be fun to keep the card sketch simple so that you can use it for your holiday cards. I'm sure you have plenty of scraps and leftover embellishments taht would work perfectly where the small accent circles go. Finished size: 9x4".
