This Friday marks the last week for our current team. Although change is always exciting it's hard to say goodbye. I know this is something we say each time our Design Team switches hands, but it is so true. Thank-you for all the inspiration gals. :)
edited: If you want to stay in touch with our retiring designers, just scroll down and you'll find a list of all their names in the sidebar. Just click and *presto* you're there!
Before we get started I want to remind you that you still have a couple of more days to lift our Guest Designer, Dena's layouts. Here's the link to that challenge. Also, all the info for the challenges can be found here.
We have another sketch for you. :)

Challenge 150
Oh no. I'm so bad. I don't have a layout for this week! I have so many irons in the fire with craft shows & now photography clients that my time has fizzled away to absolutely nothing! Please forgive me, my faithful blog readers. I hate it when life happens and I can't get any scrapping done. Not my favorite thing.
But, on with what we can do and that is show you what everyone else has created. I'm sad to not have had a chance to use this week's sketch because I made it and really like the concept. I'm plotting to use the boys' school photos for this layout I think. We'll see...
We've got the fabulous Dena Coe with us this month and her layouts are just to die for! While you're reading this week's post, don't forget to make a plan to scraplift her layouts in THIS POST. Upload the link to your lift of Dena's work in the comments section of the introduction post.
And the biggest news of all, we're on the hunt for a fresh Design Team. Wanna get the lowdown? Go HERE and find out all the details of being on our team. We're accepting applications until the 20th so don't delay, email us your applications right away!

So here it is. This week's challenge. A great, versatile sketch. Remember, when using sketches you can rotate it a quarter turn and completely reinvent the whole layout. Try it and see what happens!
Oh, and before I forget, if you've never participated in our challenges, get the lowdown on how it all works here. You should have most if not all of your questions answered there. If you still have questions after checking out our FAQ, please email me {info at lotuspaperie dot com}.

Challenge 149
Well hello again! Another Friday is upon us and with it comes a little pre-holiday craziness. I am up to my eyeballs in newly-crafted paper goodies for the craft show circuit this year and can't seen to crank 'em out fast enough...taking the morning to create this week's layout was a welcome change of pace. I have been stewing on my page concept for this one for a while and I gotta tell ya, this is probably my favorite recent challenge.

Meet Dena
This is always so sad...saying farewell to one Guest Designer so we can make room for a new one. Thanks so much for sharing such personal and creative pages, Dani! We loved having you on the team and we hope you stick around and participate in our challenges!
We will be reviewing all the entries in the Scraplift contest of Dani's pages shortly and we're starting another one for November's designer. Speaking of whom, meet Dena Coe. I found her when reading updates on my FB for Webster's Pages (I think it was Websters pages??) and instantly fell in love with her work. She has graciously answered our standard Guest Designer questionnaire below and has also shared three of her favorite layouts. We invite you to scraplift her layouts and upload the link to your version in the comments section below. You have ALL MONTH to share your version so don't delay! Get your work in the running for a wonderful freebie!
So here she is, Dena Coe
Q:Tell us a bit about you and your family.
A: I am a stay at home mom to my 8 year old daughter Zoe. She keeps me ever so busy and on my toes. My man works hard in an office during the day and plays drums in a heavy metal cover band at night. I get to help be his roadie sometimes!
Q: How long have you been scrapbooking and where did you get your start in this craft?
A: I started scrapbooking when Zoe was about 3 years old. My sister dragged me to my first class at a now defunct local scrapbook store. I always giggle when I look at those first layouts with their star shaped photos! I was immediately hooked though and have been head over heels in love with scrapbooking ever since.
Q:What inspires your creativity when you are scrapbooking?
A: I am inspired mostly between my photos and my paper. It starts with those two things for me. But I love to glean inspiration from wherever I can. From websites to billboards to CD covers. It also helps to have some amazing friends who inspire you creatively on a daily basis!
Q:Describe your creative style
A: I would say I am all over the place. I can scrap shabby chic and muted tones one day and the next day switch it up and use bright funky colors and be throwing paint everywhere. My pages tend to reflect my mood.
Q:What are your three favorite products/techniques right now?
A: 3 favorite products would have to be Shimmerz Tuscan Sun Spritz, Webster's Pages Postcards from Paris line and anything Prima!
A: I am all about spritzing my products right now. I love the funky iridescent look it gives to your pages and embellishments. And I am hopelessly addicted to my craft knife and Cutterbee scissors. I love to cut intricate designs out.
Q:What project(s) are you currently working on?
A: I just finished up 4 projects for Scarlet Lime Kits and am going to be working on some fun stuff for Webster's Pages.
Q:Describe your perfect day
A: I get to sleep in til noon. Wake up to the smell of freshly brewed coffee and bacon. Get to stay in my jammies all day and curl up with a blanket and a good book. And a back massage somewhere in there would be nice!
Q:What are your three favorite layouts of all time that you’ve created (published or not)?
A:
Geez that is a hard one! But here are some that make me smile!
