Challenge 94 - More Than One Fold

Happy Friday Fussy and Fancy followers

********

Our new guest designer and top 5 from

challenge 93 "lemon and lavender"

will be announced next Friday

(Friday 2nd August) so please pop

back then to see

if you are amongst the winners

********

Before we announce our new challenge,

we'd like to welcome a new member

to our design team.

Diana Fernandez was our guest

designer from our last challenge and

we're pleased that she accepted our

invitation to join us.

Here's Diana to introduce herself:

I'm a lover of all things crafty!  I enjoy spending time

creating not only paper craft items, but also mixed

media and altered art projects.  I love to scour thrift

and second hand stores for treasures that I can

transform into something new and beautiful

I live in beautiful (but hot) Phoenix, Arizona, where

I'm outside all winter, and hiding from the heat in the

summer!  I adore entering crafting challenges and am

always making lists of new challenges that I can

play along with.

My favourite products are generally from Ranger or

Tim Holtz, but I'm also really enjoying Bo Bunny papers,

 Angie Delarie, Saturated Canary and Dilly Beans digi

stamps.  I'm trying my hand at colouring and like that

I can see slow but steady progress.

When I'm not crafting I work full time as a 911

operator/police dispatcher.  I adore my work and can

truly say that every single day I work is different from

the last.  At home my husband and I have a house full

of furry kids (3 dogs and 3 cats!).

It's a wonderful and rewarding life.

********

Our challenge for the next fortnight

is hosted by Norma

And the theme she has chosen is:

Norma would like to see your

projects using more than one fold, so

this is where you get your fingers tied

in a knot and your brain lets off steam

as you try to remember the

measurements for your steppers,

trifolds, gatefolds and criss cross cards.

Let your imagination run wild and if

you can create anything like our

challenge theme picture we'd love to

see you enter it into our challenge.

Here's some ideas from

the design team:

Guest Designer for Challenge 93 - Lemon and Lavender

Hello and happy Friday

********

Today the Fussy and Fancy girls

are happy to introduce

our very talented guest designer

Diana Fernandez

Here's a little bit about Diana:

I'm a lover of all things crafty!  I enjoy spending time

creating not only paper craft items, but also mixed

media and altered art projects.  I love to scour thrift

and second hand stores for treasures that I can

transform into something new and beautiful

truly say that every single day I work is different from

the last.  At home my husband and I have a house full

of furry kids (3 dogs and 3 cats!).

It's a wonderful and rewarding life.

And here's the gorgeous card that Diana

has made for our current challenge

Lemon and Lavender

We can see your love for Dilly Bean

digi's by the image that you've chosen

for this card.  She has been coloured

to perfection and we adore her

sparkly tail.

We're sure with your love of altered

art that the background and

ribbon have both been created by you.

They both set off your image

beautifully and show your skills

We hope that you visit Diana's blog

Creations for a Star

to read more about her card and to

find out more about her great artwork

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