Hello and happy Friday!

********

Today the Fussy and Fancy girls

are happy to introduce

our very talented
Guest Designer

Karien

Here's a little about Karien:

I am proudly South African and I live in a town called Newcastle in KZN.

During the day I am a Business Banker at one of SA's largest Banks.

I usually scrap early mornings and an hour or 2 at night.

I have been Married for 23 years and we have a son and a daughter.

I am excited that I will soon to be grandmother to a little boy and his

due date is Christmas day!

I started doing scrapbooking in 2005.........and I am totally addicted to scrapbooking, card making and altered art. Other hobbies include photography, baking, painting, sewing and beading!!!

Thanks and hugs

Karien

Very special update!
Karien has shared the birth information of her precious new grandson!

"Our grandson was born 19th December by C-section in the morning at 8h22
and weighed in at 3.77 kg. He is too cute for words and will be christened
Du'Mondt Dante de Nysschen."

Congratulations Karien!

*******

Karien has created this gorgeous blue
Christmas card for our
Snowflakes and Ribbon Challenge
using the "Holly Stocking digi"
from Fresh Brewed Designs!

Karien your card is both stunning and creative!

What a lovely job you did paper piecing the

Holly Stocking digi!

The blue striped accents on the stocking look

great with the pretty snowflakes.

We love the fun pom-pom fringe!

And the pretty ribbon and bells, along with the

sparkly snowflakes, certainly do make your

card festive!

Then the pretty white die cut in the background

gives the illusion of swirling snow with

the pretty blue gems you added.

********

Your in for a real treat when you visit
Karien's blog

to see more of her beautiful creations!
I do hope that you can stop by to visit her.

It's been a real pleasure, Karien
Well done!
Thank you for sharing your
talent with us!
Enjoy your adorable baby grandson!

Hello Dear Friends!!

I am Mary Lou and I live in beautiful NE Wisconsin and it is

cold (Brrrr) this time of year :)

I have been married to a great guy for 35 years and we have 3 grown very independent kids. The best part of life brings to us~~3 grandchildren, 2 granddogs and 2 more babies arriving this spring!! YIPPEE!!!!! Truly there is nothing greater than being a Grandparent....well maybe crafting--LOL!!!!

A little about me....I always loved to draw, color, sew, cross-stitch, macrame, and after the kiddos came, a lot of that stopped to raise them.

I do all the bookkeeping for Hubby’s Tucking Business and just retired from a 34 year Dental Assisting Career to stay home and watch the grandchildren--I LOVE IT!!!!

In 2009 my daughter introduced me to Papercrafting and blogging. I'm Hooked!!

I absolutely Love coloring images with my Copic markers-----my greatest stress reducer! I continually learn from all you friends out there with this same addiction--So THANKS!!!!

I am delighted to be part of this Fantastic Fussy and Fancy DT!!

Hugs

Mary Lou
