Guest Designer for Challenge 84 Flowers

Hello and happy Friday

********

Today the Fussy and Fancy girls

are happy to introduce

our very talented guest designer

Tracey Boley

Here is a little bit about Tracey:

Hi my name's Tracey, I'm 41 years old and I'm happily
married with two teenage children.

I've always been into crafting in one form or another for
as long as I can remember, but I've been making cards for
roughly 10 years now which I enjoy just about every day.

I started blogging in June 2012, but I wish I'd have started
earlier. I've made so many blogging friends and my card
making has greatly improved. I'm always learning new
techniques and ideas and I totally enjoy taking part in
challenges and looking at DT cards. I'm also extremely lucky
to be a member of the Forever Friends design team.

Thank you so much for having me as a Guest designer
on your lovely challenge blog

Here's the gorgeous card that Tracey

has made for our current challenge

Flowers

Those subtle design papers and your

layout make the perfect background

to showcase those lovely red flowers

which have been beautifully coloured

Your corner embellishments, flowers

and dragonfly charm add the perfect

finishing touches

We hope you can visit Tracey's blog

Tracey's Corner Cards

to read more about her lovely

card and to see more of her work

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

xx Happy crafting and glittery hugs xx

Challenge 84 - Flowers

Happy Friday Fussy and Fancy followers

********

Our new guest designer and top 5 from

challenge 83 "pink and black" will be

announced next Friday (15th January)

so please pop back then to see if

you are amongst the winners

********

Updated: The new guest designer
and top 5 for challenge 84 "flowers"
can be found here

********

We seem to be saying "hello" and

"goodbye" a lot just lately but I guess

that's just the way it goes!! Craft is

meant to be enjoyable and not get in

the way of our lives so occasionally

we have to give in don't we?

We are saying goodbye to Ann who

is going into her last year of study

at university to become a nurse so

she is going to be dedicating her time

to studying. We wish her well in

her last year and in her future career.

We are also saying goodbye to Vicki
who is taking a break from crafting
for a while.

Thanks to you both for sharing your
talents with us xx

On a happier note I would like to

introduce you to 2 new arrivals to
our design team. The first is

Sue Booth (aka Sioux) and the
second is our guest designer
from challenge 83 Annie Mehew.

Both of them will be joining team
B in the next challenge

(click on my photo to visit my blog)

Hi there, I'm Sue, but I tend to spell it Sioux just to be
bit different!

I've been married to Garry for almost 32 years and we
have 3 sons and 3 adorable grandchildren. I work full
time on a retail investment team upgrading supermarkets.

Craft shopping is my passion, but I also adore fancy papers
however I can never bear to cut them up so they get
stroked and put back! When I'm not craft shopping or
stroking my papers I just love colouring digi images.

********

(click on my photo to visit my blog)

Hi, my name's Annie and I'm retired which gives me lots
of time for my 4 grandchildren and my crafty pastimes.

Like so many other crafters, I've crafted in one form or
another for as long as I can remember. I was taught to
sew, knit, embroider and cross stitch by my mum. Paper
crafting became my passion when I was given a handmade
card by my daughter in law. I was fascinated to know how
it'd been made which opened up a whole new world to me.

I like to try many things but stamping and die cutting are
the things I always return to. I recently decided to try my
hand at blogging after following other people's blogs
over the years.
