Guest Designer for Challenge 70 - Back To School


Hello and Happy Friday!

Today the Fussy and Fancy girls
are very proud to
introduce our very talented
guest designer

aka Butterfly
Here is a little bit about Alison:

I'm quite a newbie to the world of crafting, though
I've always made bits and pieces with my hands as I
was growing up, often to help with my mum's dolls
house hobby.  So when I recently re-discovered the joy
of crafting, it was sort of like coming home. I'm incredibly
lucky that my 'day job' is also deeply stimulating: I'm a
text and voice coach (if you want to know more, there's
a link on my blog), though I've recently gone freelance
and that's what's given me the time to play and explore
Craftyblogland - a place I've grown to love & a hobby
I've become hopelessly addicted to.  

I LOVE all things Tim Holtz, shabby chic, grunge
and especially distressing.   I'm very excited to have won a
GD spot here at Fussy and Fancy for the "Back To School"
challenge, though I'm afraid I'm one of those strange people
who never minded going back to school. I loved learning
new things I guess that's still going on today my crafting!


Alison created a wonderful
frameable collage to share with us
for our current challenge

Isn't this collage special?
We love the textured background and the
adorable vintage images along with the
distressed design papers and alphabet strips.
The contrast of the soft blue
math paper and the fun embellishments
compliment the sentiment perfectly.

We hope that you can visit Alison's blog

to read all about this very special project 
and to see more of her talented work

It's been a real pleasure Alison - thank you!

Challenge 70 - Back to School


Happy Friday Fussy and Fancy followers

********

Our new guest designer and top 5 will be
announced next Friday (31st August) so
please pop back then to see if 
you are amongst the winners

********

Our challenge for the next fortnight is:

BACK TO SCHOOL

It's that time of year again when Mum's
are rushing around getting those last final
bits and pieces for their little ones (and not
so little ones) to go back to school!  Some of
them will be going to school for the first time
and no doubt many a tear will be shed at the
school gate, I remember it well and that was
just me, lol :-)

So to cheer our little soldiers and angels up,
what better way than to make them a card or
gift.  It should put a smile on their faces and
also give them something for their first show
and tell and hopefully be the envy of all
of their friends too!

Here's the Mum's from our DT to give
you some ideas to get you started:
Hope your little ones enjoy their first
days at school and don't forget to take
plenty of tissues with you!  My
daughter is 21 now and I can still
remember that first day - a moment
to cherish forever...

You have until midnight on
6th September GMT to enter

Guest Designer Spot for Challenge 69 - Orange, Lime and Citrus

Hello and happy Friday!

Today the Fussy and Fancy girls are very proud
to introduce our talented guest designer

Sue McManus
Here is a little bit about Suzi:

My given name is Susannah but I'm known as Suzi and I live
in bonny Scotland.

I took up crafting as a hobby after taking early retirement from
my career as a professional musician 3 years ago.  That wee
hobby I took up to whittle away a few hours has now turned into
a (dare I say it) obsession.  I love stamping, colouring, altering,
recycling and I'm in my element when I enter my craft room each day.
I just wish I had found it earlier in my life.

Here's the gorgeous card that Suzi has made
for us using the colours orange, lime
and citrus from our current challenge:


The use of the colours in this challenge are brilliantly
picked out in the papers that have been used as well as
the superb colouring of the image along with all of
those pretty embellishments too. 

We hope that you can visit Suzies blog


to read more details about her fabulous card
and of course the rest of her lovely work

It's been a real pleasure Suzi - thank you!
