Guest Designer for Challenge 95 - Back To School

Hello and happy Friday

********

Today the Fussy and Fancy girls

are happy to introduce

our very talented guest designer

Millazin

Here's a little about Millazin:

I'm 35 and live in Drammen, Norway with my
boyfriend and work in the city of Oslo.

I've been crafting for about a year and a half and have
been completely hooked by this wonderful hobby. There
are so many exciting techniques and materials to play with.
I'm very fond of making grungy projects, such as this, but I
also make more delicate ones too. I like to try different
things all the time, but folding techniques and metal tape are
my favourites.

And here's the altered notebook
and pencil holder that Millazin has
made for our current challenge

Back To School

Who would think that you could make
these with an old kitchen roll tube,
recycled cardboard and a notebook!

Just add a dash of Tim Holtz, a spray
of dylusions and a whole lot of metal
tape amongst other things and these
wonderful projects have been created.

Aren't they stunning?

We hope that you can visit Millazin's blog

to read more about her project and to find

out more about her great artwork

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

Guest Designer for Challenge 95 - Bingo Board

Hello and happy Friday

********

Today the Fussy and Fancy girls

are happy to introduce

our very talented guest designer

Sari Jokinen

Here's a little about Sari:

Hello my fellow crafters!

My name is Sari and I'm a 38 year old mother of

4 children living just outside of Stockholm, Sweden

with my hubby, kids, dog, parrot and a few fish too.

I've been a crafter all my life but it wasn't until I needed

a Mothers Day card for my Mum a few years ago (the

shops were closed) when I discovered card making and

after my first attempt I was hooked! My favourite style

is vintage and shabby chic, I call it shintage lol.

For me there is nothing better after a hectic day than to

unwind in my little craft room.

And here's the beautiful picture frame

and baby bootees that Sari made for

our current challenge

Bingo Board

Sari has used the full house from

our bingo board - WOW!!!

We think it's great that you've used all

the elements from our bingo board and

created such a memorable keepsake

too. The delicate blue along with the

lace and flowers on the frame are just

stunning and those tiny bootees are

just soooooo cute!

********

We hope that you can visit Sari's blog

Sari's Cards & Altered Art

to read more about her card and to find

out more about her great artwork

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

Challenge 95 - Bingo Board

Happy Friday Fussy and Fancy followers

********

Our new guest designer and top 5 from

challenge 94 "more than one fold"

will be announced next Friday

(Friday 16th August) so please
pop back then to see

if you are amongst the winners

********

Before we announce our new challenge,

we'd like to introduce a new member

to our design team.

Katharina Wikholm was our guest

designer from our last challenge and

we're pleased that she accepted our

invitation to join us.

Here's Katharina to introduce herself:

I'm a 59 year old Swedish spoken Finn, living in the city of

Vasa in Finland. My husband and I have four grow up

children and four grandchildren.

I've always been interested in handicrafts and at the

moment I'm enjoying different stamping techniques, card

making and papier mache. I'm always looking and trying

new techniques too. My style varies from pretty things, bling,

lace and ribbons one day to fantasy, mystic and abstract.

Travelling to different countries gives me a lot of inspiration

for my artwork.

I currently work as a leisure supervisor for retired people

********

Our challenge for the next fortnight
is hosted by Sazzle

And the theme she has chosen is:

Bingo Board

Sazzle would like to see your projects

using the lines on the bingo board,
either running horizontally, vertically

adventurous you may want to go for

Please make it clear when you enter

easier for us to identify.
