Today the Fussy and Fancy girls

our very talented
Guest Designer

Mian Hahne


 
Here's a little about Mian:

Hi, my name is Mian and I'm from the beautiful west coast of Sweden.

I've been crafting for as long as I can remember, doing
cross stitching, crocheting, scrapbooking and card making.

I started with scrapbooking 16 years ago and only made
cards for family and friends.

Now, I enjoy card making so much that I'm not
doing any scrapbooking at all.

I started to blog and enter my cards into challenges in February 2012.
It wasn't long before I got the courage to apply to
some Design Team calls.

I am currently on three Design Teams.  Simply Create Too,
Love to Create and QKR Stampede.

Unfortunately I had to step down from other design teams due
to my ME/CFS - But that's another story.

I'm so honored and excited to be a Guest Designer at
Fussy & Fancy this week.
Thank you so much for this opportunity!

Happy Crafting!!  Hugs Mian

 
********
 
Here is the beautiful,
 "chocolate candy bar holder"
that Mian has made for our
current challenge

Cream and Brown




 
What a beautiful way to package
such a yummy Christmas treat, Mian!

This Bildmalarna, "Christmas Angel"
stamp is adorable, and
your coloring and shading is beautiful.
 
The gorgeous cream papers and satin ribbon
along with the chocolate brown paper
make a very elegant presentation.

And I just have to say that, the
chocolate candy bar looks
so delicious!

Featured Guest Designer for Challenge 101 - Black and Blue

Hello and happy Friday!

 
********
 
Today the Fussy and Fancy girls
are happy to introduce
our very talented
Guest Designer

Kim DeRuosi

 
Here's a little about Kim:


Hi Everyone

I am Kim and I live in Topsfield, MA.

 

I have been married to my charming husband for 29 years,
 (I know poor soul he he).
We have two grown daughters who are 26 and 24 years old.
Our youngest still lives at home with us. 
My in laws also live with us in a separate apartment (Phew!).
 
I have two dogs. 
A six year old dachshund named Max and a
six month old dachshund mix named Lola. 

I work full time from home doing transcription and
part time out of the house at a nail and skin spa.
 
I craft every chance I get. 
I started paper crafting back in 2004 when my oldest daughter started her
last year of high school and I decided that I
 would make her a scrapbook with some of the
mementos that I was saving.
 
I had never even heard of scrap booking or card making.
(such a novice was I).
It was four albums later when
I finished her surprise gift
and my love of scrapping was born!
This eventually led
 to me finding craft stores and magazines,
thus card making.
Need I say any more?
 
You all know how it goes,
Here I am, years later with mountains of
supplies!
 
Like everyone else I am just trying to squeeze in all the fun
I can into this great life of mine!
Thanks for indulging me!

 

********
 
Here is the adorable card that Kim
has created for our 
Black and Blue Challenge


This is such a lovely holiday card, Kim.
I love this adorable stamp from Penny Black.

He is so adorable as he sits in the snow and enjoys
the wonderful feeling of soft snowflakes falling on his face!

Your coloring and shading is beautiful and your
snowflake embellishments are gorgeous!

The fun black and blue gingham ribbon adds
the perfect finishing touch.
