Diane Hover

Hi, My name is Diane Hover and my blog is Nellies Nest,

named after my dog Nellie.

I always get a good laugh when people leave me a comment and say

"beautiful card Nellie",

I didn't know she was so talented!!

I am married a second time to a wonderful man and we have

5 kiddos between us,

and they have blessed us with 18 grandchildren and

we now have 2 greats...

and I am NOT that old, really!!

I live in the winter wonderland state of Michigan...pretty, but it can get

darn right cold at times!!

I LOVE paper crafting and got into it years ago when I was in a

business with my sister called, "Cabin On The Creek".

We used to stamp all our own primitive tags for our sewn

Santa's and such.

I think what really got me into the paper crafting, besides doing

scrapbooking was all the gorgeous papers that were

available, they remind me of fabric.

So now I use my million dollar sewing machine to sew

on my cards...lol...but I love that look and at least it is getting used!!

Besides my paper crafting I love to cook (and eat) and have

big weedy flower gardens that I work in whenever I can.

I have a great sense of humor, but take my card making very seriously!

As for a style, I think my favorite is Shabby Chic..I just love that look!!!

I am looking forward to being on this amazing team of the

"Fussy and Fancy" girls

and can't wait to get started with my first project!!!

Thanks for listening and I can't wait to see all YOUR projects in our challenges!!

Hugs!!!

Diane Hover

Gunn-Eirill

Hi everyone
My name is Gunn-Eirill, I am 45 years young,
living in South of Norway with 3 children and my lovely husband,
and one cat called Gardfield along with 100 fish.

I have always been crafting. When I was 5 years old I was cross stitching,
at 6 years old, I was making my own clothing, and so on....

in 2007 I was hooked on paper, and now I am a hoarder.
I just love paper, trims, bling, pearls, flowers....you know girls..

My style as a scrapper is easy to explain: 3D, building weird things for
no use and no reason. I am using my Shilhouette machine to make my own
templates. I do always have some crazy ideas in my head
for what I am going to make, so I have 3-5 projects on my desk,
and 50 more in my head. I wish that I had more time to make all the things
I want...one day I will....I hope...

Hugs from Gunn-Eirill

Pat K

Thank you so much for having me Sheryl.

What a wonderful surprise when

I returned home from vacation to find your lovely note. I’m thrilled to be joining

this talented team of designers.

I’ve been a blogger since 2011 and have had the good fortune to be on some great teams,

Fussy & Fancy Friday now being one of them.

I love to colour with Copics, collect designer paper and digital stamps.

I like to use stitching on my cards and have a very eclectic style….some days CAS,

other days throwing everything on.

My dear husband and I love to travel and enjoy time spent with family.

I look forward to working with everyone and seeing all of

your creative entries here at Fussy and Fancy!

Hugs, Pat K xx

You are in for a lovely treat when you
visit these ladies blogs!

Fussy and Fancy Featured Guest Designer for Challenge 124 - Orange and Black

Hello and happy Friday!

********

Today the Fussy and Fancy girls

are happy to introduce

our very talented

Featured Guest Designer

Tracey Rogers

aka - Lalkygirl

Here's a little about Tracey:

Hi! My Name is Tracey Rogers ..aka Lalkygirl and I am originally from England

(Liverpool) but I am now very happily living in a gorgeous little town in Wales

called Milford Haven with my partner, Tony.

I have a fabulous daughter called Danielle who is now 28...

I am addicted to paper crafting ....I love the amazing things that can be created from a blank

piece of paper or card.

My favourite crafty pastime is stamping and colouring any hand stamped

or digital images. I guess my style is very girly and I love learning new techniques.

I am, also, very lucky and get to teach paper crafting three times a week!

I am so looking forward to being a Featured Guest Designer for Fussy and Fancy and seeing all the

wonderful entries for this challenge!

Happy Crafting

Here is the Halloween gift set that Tracey
created for our current challenge

Orange and Black!

What a wonderful Halloween card and treat bag set, Tracey!

Your stamp is adorable and beautifully coloured by you!

We love all of your fun black die cuts! They really pop

against your pretty orange design paper and your

bat and owl are so very cute! The black brads and ribbon

add the perfect finishing touches.

Whoever receives this fun Halloween set will be sure to feel very special!

I can't help but want to peek inside your treat bag!

I wonder if it's chocolate?
