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



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



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


to read more about her card and to
find out more about her great artwork

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