My son's birthday is coming up in a couple of weeks so I made him a card. I used a sketch from the Sketch n Scrap blog as my basis for the card. He is really into video games so I decided to make a controller to put on the card for him.

I'm beginning to scrapbook the summer of 2018 and it makes me yearn for summer! I can't wait for camping and family time and warm weather! For now I will take all the warmth I can get from memories!

My name is  Jamie Arthur  and I'm so excited to be a guest designer at Stick IT Down this month. I love scrapbooking and really love working with sketches. I have been scrapbooking for over 20 years at this point. I have two children, a Golden-doodle, and I'm married to the best man a girl could ask for. And when I say the best I mean it! This man puts up with my scrapbooking obsession as well as my coffee addiction and my love of books (which are everywhere)!  I enjoy spending time in my craft room creating layouts for our family scrapbook albums. It is so fun to be able to open our family albums and not just look at pictures but relive the memories through the layouts themselves. I put my albums in the order in which things happened and I go year by year. The only problem with this method is that I end up with a lot of albums!

I don't make cards near as often as I should these days. I've most been scrapbooking! However, it's my mom's birthday as well as Valentines day this week so I figured I'd better start making some cards.
