A little bit about me

My name is Vanessa but everyone calls me Ness. I'm 40 years young and live in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. I live with my husband, Andrew (happily married for 20 years) and our 3 girls - Sarah 19, Shannon 15 and Chloe 12. I love them to bits!

I am definitely a girly-girl and love to have fun just being myself (crazy at times LOL!!). I have had a love for arts and crafts for as long as I can remember. Have tried almost everything over the time but have found that Scrapbooking is my passion. I started scrapbooking in 2001. I am thankful I have a very understanding and wonderful husband, and girls who support my passion. My girls are almost always my main scrapping subject. I have spread out into designing sketches and now designing for Let's Capture these Sketches and I am loving it.

I am so honored and excited to be a part of the Lets Challenge These Sketches Team.

This is the sketch for the Blog Hop which has been designed by me

and my take on the sketch
