Sketch #55: Rochelle Spears

This week we have our Guest Designer, Rochelle Spears with us. Let's find out a little more about Rochelle:

Rochelle Spears
Rochelle's Blog

Hi, my name is Rochelle Spears. I am currently a stay at home mother after working 15 years in Real Estate. I have 5 beautiful children (ages 2-21 years old) who are usually the focus of my Scrapbooking. I started Scrapbooking in 2003 after meeting my husband. I wanted a different way of documenting our time together besides photo albums. I called myself a “closet scrapper” because none of my friends, family or co-workers understood it. A year later, I meet a good friend online who taught me a lot about the Scrapbook Industry. Through her I met other scrappers and eventually starting going to crops. I now have many scrap friends that have the same passion and understand it!! I love it!

I haven't defined my style, but some would say it varies from fun, colorful and playful to shabby chic. I love sketches, kits and challenges. I haven’t been on any design teams yet, but that is one of my goals. I will be published in print for the first time in Memory Makers, The Big Book of Scrapbook Ideas, being released in May 2011. Besides scrapbooking, I love to travel, read, cook and spend time with my family and friends!

Here is Rochelle's sketch and she's challenged us to create a homemade flower to put on your layout.

Here is the layout that Rochelle created using her own sketch and challenge:

Hi my name is Zoe and I live in the beautiful province of Nova Scotia, Canada, with my husband of 8 years and our 3 children Yasmin 7, Aydin 6, and Ceyda 3, I work for Canada Post by day as a casual letter carrier and scrap obsessively on my days off and evenings, My husband is a Carpenter and he also volunteers for the local Fire Department. I was born in southern England and we all moved here to Canada in 2006 and have never looked back this is our new home and we are proud to be Nova Scotians! I've always enjoyed playing with paper and have dabbled in scrapbooking for many years however in February of 2008 I got bitten by the scrapping bug and have never looked back, I am now proud to call myself a scrap-a-holic. I am so excited to have been invited as a guest designer this month. Thanks so much Tina and Tanya, you really made my day! :)
