Here's a little info about Anja:

Hi, I'm Anja Curvers, also known as "scrappie". I am thrilled and honored to be given the opportunity to play along with card patterns this week as their guest designer.

I have been playing along from the first sketch and never have missed one, so you can say I'm a little bit hooked. Aren't we all?

I live in the Netherlands together with my husband and my 4 kids. They mean the world to me.

I have been scrapbooking about 6 years now, but lately my passion is making cards and I'm hooked to sketches.

I can't wait to see what you all come up with and hopefully I'll inspire you all as much as you inspire me.

And here's Anja's gorgeous take on the sketch!
