Let's Go To The HOP!!

Welcome to our very FIRST Capture These Sketches BLOG HOP!!! We have SO much to cover today... so let's get to it!!
First: We want to first of all welcome our Oct Guest Designer... JANA EUBANK!!! Let's get to know Jana a bit...Shall we? I love scrapbooking! It is my one-and-only crafty hobby and my passion. I enjoy the creative outlet it gives me, but I also love taking the time to reflect on family memories and seeing my kids' eyes light up as they look through our family albums. I have been scrapbooking for about 12 years in one form or another. I mostly create pages, but I also enjoy creating the occasional card or altered project. I enjoy designing for several online scrapbook kits and scrapbooking manufacturers. If I'm not scrapbooking, I'm perusing interior design magazines, hanging out at scrapbook message boards and galleries, or celebrating life with my family. I'm hopelessly addicted to chocolate, Diet Coke and Peach Fresca. I love to listen to Pandora radio to help me get in a creative mood while I scrap. If you'd like to see more of my work, stop by and visit me on my blog www.janaeubank.com. I am a stay-at-home mom to 3 daughters and 1 son and have been married to my best friend, Kevin, for 12 years. We live in Bountiful, Utah. Thanks SO much to Jana for playing along this month!! We have so much fun in store!!! Wait until you see her beautiful work! She is sure to inspire you just as she does me!! I'll show you her sketch in just a minute!! :) Second thing on the agenda... is out October Sponsor!!! Huge thank you to Bettina for sponsoring our team this month! you have several chances to win this month!! The blog hop AND for playing along with the sektches!! You'll be glad you did!!
