Scrap Africa Sketch Challenge no.82

Hello Everyone

Welcome to 2017! ;-)

We wish you everything of the best for you and your families.

Just a little thought for this year too.

So with the start of this new year, we have a new sketch challenge for you.

You can create a card, tag, layout, an altered project, journal pages or even a digital project!

You can create whatever you like! ;-)

We would just love to know what inspired you from the sketch and the sentiment behind your project!;-)

As always we have a Guest Designer for this challenge and Marlei was a previous TOP HAT.

A warm welcome to Marlei.

Here's a little bit about this lovely and creative lady.

My name is Marlei Moreira Couto, I'm 72 years old and I live in the interior of the state of São Paulo, Brazil. I'm a retired teacher, I've been doing crafts since I was a young girl and I've been scrapbooking since 2011. I really like the romantic style like shabby, vintage and, more recently, Mixed Media has got me so captivated. I like to be always learning something new and to overcome my difficulties ... so I love to participate in challenges, they are stimulating and I take much of the inspiration that the designers give us. I do not have an atelier, just a little corner in my room, very reduced material, but as the will to create is great I'm inventing ways to continue.

I am very grateful for the invitation to create something like inspiration for this challenge - I am so looking for inspiration in you !!! - hoping that my little project will please them.

Thank you very much, Denise! A big hug and all my admiration and affection! Hugs to the entire Africa Scrap team.

Marlei created this gorgeous piece.

Isn't this just gorgeous, festive and beautiful! ;-)

Let's look a little closer...

We love this creative and amazing project.

Thanks ever so much to Marlei for creating this piece and we hope that you will pop past her blog and check out more of her beautiful inspiration! ;-)
