It is with much sadness that tonights sketch will be our last.
I have spent the past few months thinking long and hard about the future of Pencil Lines. As some of you may remember I started Pencil Lines with a group of scrapping friends back in October 2006 just for fun. Six years later Pencil Lines receives over 15,000 visits a week, I have published a book and had six wonderful years working with the most amazing and talented deisgn team I could imagine!
My heart is not in scrapbooking and I am neglecting Pencil Lines. My career has taken a different path and I am now a full time photographer. It is unfair of me to try and continue with Pencil Lines when I cannot give you the readers and my design team 110%.
Tonight is our last sketch, the website will remain active, and I will PDF all our sketches for you to purchase at a small cost with a percentage going to a chosen charity.
This weeks sketch is by myself ironically, and I was to be your design team spotlight. I havnt done a layout though, my heart wasnt in it :(
Here are this weeks deisgn team layouts :
Camilla
Carole
Jen
Ria
Solange
Don't be a stranger, we will still be here just not providing a new sketch each week.
Thank you for all your support over the years its been so appreciated by myself and the design teams.
Happy Scrapping!
Anna and the Pencil Lines Team xx

I have been a fan of Pencillines for many years, and it was a dream come true to become a part of the design team last year. Thankyou so much for the wonderful opportunity Anna... I will miss pencillines, and working with all of you greatly

What a sad moment for you, however I am curious as to why these blog spots are not offered to others to take over??? Or did no one want to take it on. Good luck with the photography!!!
