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



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



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


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


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
