Renee Lamb

The loves of my life are: The Lord my Savior, my husband, Tom, and his 4 amazing girls, Gracie (my dog), my two nieces, my mom and grandparents. Without the influence of these amazing people, I may not be who I am today. I am blessed and thank the Lord each day to have such a wonderful close and loving family.
My favorite color is: Yellow but orange, red, and lime green are VERY close behind.
My favorite products and embellishments are: Well, anything! Making Memories, Basic Grey, QuicKutz, Cuttlebug, K&Co, Scenic Route. I am drawn to any product that has bright colors, stripes, flowers, or polka dots. I love ribbon. I have tons and tons of ribbon. It's a sickness really and who can resist bling?! I have to admit I am drooling over the Pink Paislee and Glitz lines right now too.
My favorite scrappy tool is: My Cuttlebug and exacto knife. I like to draw my own embellies and use that exacto a LOT.
My favorite time to scrap is: Anytime I can! I usually get the most done on the weekends though since I work full time during the week.
Am I a morning bird or a night owl? I am definitely a morning person. I do not like to sleep my day away, and I like to be in bed no later than 11 or 11:30. I think the latest I can function is 1:00 am. After that the brain shuts down! But I am still up no later than 7:00 a.m. (and that's late for me).

Be sure to check back next Friday when you can learn more about our other amazing design team members! Have a joyous week!

Coming Soon & RAK!

Welcome to Triple the Sketch! We are excited to debut our first sketch on April 4, 2008! Triple the Sketch is the creation of Patter Cross. She named the site Triple the Sketch for two reasons. First, our very simple sketches are to be used as a springboard to inspire you to create at least three different pieces (cards, layouts, and tags). Patter also has identical triplets so creating things in threes comes only natural to her. Our sketches will not limit your creativity in any way. These sketches are not structured. Use any page size, card size, tag size, adjust the sketch as needed, or even use it as an element on part of a layout or altered art. The amazing design team will show you how versatile these sketches can be!

Since we have three weeks until our big debut, we will spend that time letting you get to know our amazing design team. Each Friday, beginning March 14th through March 28th, three of our design team members will be highlighted so that you can get to know them! They are amazing designers and women. I am sure you will be inspired by each of them! You don't want to miss the next three weeks!

And if you subscribe to our blog, you will be entered into a RAK for some amazing scrapping goodies! Those of you that subscribe to Triple the Sketch between March 13th and April 3rd will be eligible for the RAK. A picture will be posted next week sometime, and the winner will be announced on April 4th, the day of our first sketch posting! So, be sure to subscribe to the blog so you will never miss a sketch! Sketches will be posted with design team inspiration on Fridays begining April 4th. Grab a blinkie, subscribe to the blog, and get ready for our big debut! Can't wait to have you join us!
