Fussy and Fancy Featured Guest Designer for Challenge #137-Springtime Flowers

Hello once again!

 

******** 

  

 The Fussy and Fancy girls

are back to introduce

our very talented
Guest Designer

Anna Jasiolek

 

Here is a little bit about Anna!!

 

My name is Anna, I'm 39 this year and I am from Poland.

I am a primary school teacher and a former ballroom dancer!

I run a little dance and fitness studio in my town.

I started my card making over 3 years ago, when I fainted from overworking and the doctor said that I should find something relaxing to do!!

I didn't think this was going to be so addictive!

I love all the ribbons, papers, stamps and inks.

I am trying to improve my skills visiting other crafter's blogs and watching YouTube videos (and I can't even imagine what it would look like without internet). I love the way crafting connects people all over the world! 

********

 

And here is the gorgeous card

that Anna has created for our
 

Springtime Flower Challenge

 

 

Anna this is so beautifully designed!!

Your flowers and embellishments are lovely...

the torn edges and lace accents give

this beautiful card a wonderful

"Shabby Chic" feel and all those flowers...

simply perfect for our

Springtime Flowers Challenge!!

 

Thank you Anna for creating this wonderful card for us here at

Fussy and Fancy!!

Crafty friends you are in for a wonderful treat when you visit

Anna's blog!!

So please won't you hop on over and check out Anna's beautiful creations!!

 

xx Happy crafting xx

Fussy and Fancy Challenge 137 - Springtime Flowers

Happy Friday
Fussy and Fancy followers!

********
 

Our challenge for the next
fortnight is hosted by our

very sweet and talented

Vannessa

Hi, I'm Vannessa and during the day, I am a primary school teacher in the UK.

 I love teaching my lively class of 7 and 8 year olds, but thoroughly enjoy making cards and colouring as a way to relieve all the stress that comes with a job like mine!

I generally use Copics on my cards, but I am slowly learning how to use distress inks too! 

I am still practicing so I am not quite there with those just yet.

 I am a huge fan of ribbon, patterned papers and pretty flowers and just had to pull out heaps of my Marianne Designs dies for this week's challenge, Springtime Flowers.

Looking forward to seeing lots of gorgeous flowery designs for my challenge this fortnight.

 

The challenge Vannessa has chosen is:

 

Springtime Flowers
 

Here is the lovely card
that Vannessa has created
for her challenge!

Vannessa
LR0108 Ribbon Flower 1 Dies, LR0162 English Roses Dies, LR0155 Broderie Anglaise Border Die, LR0192 Leaves Dies, LR0107 Floral 3 Dies, LR0269 Anja's Vintage Decoration Die & LR0270 Anja's Vintage Ornament Die all from Marianne Designs

Vannessa, Your card is absolutely GORGEOUS!

I really love the aqua, green and pink combination!

Its so very pretty!  Your colouring is beautiful and your

Marianne Designs handmade flowers are so lovely!

All of your Marianne Designs dies are so lacey and elegant!

Your card is stunning!

Fussy and Fancy Featured Guest Designer for Challenge 136 - Buttons and Bows

Hello and happy Monday!

 

******** 

  

Today the Fussy and Fancy girls

are happy to introduce

our very talented
Guest Designer
Cheremane Smith

 

Here's a little about Cheremane: 

Hi and thank you to Fussy and Fancy for this opportunity!

Here's a little bit about my crafty life. I took to crafting 17 years ago after being diagnosed with a serious illness and have never looked back. 

I adore lots of different Paper crafts, but stamping and mixed media has to be my first love.

 You just can't beat getting inky. I'm such a lucky Crafter as I am on several Design teams. 

I have the pleasure of making T.V. samples for Create & Craft. 

 I even did several appearances on Create & Craft myself as a guest presenter for one of the popular companies and it was an amazing experience. 

Crafting is all about sharing the love of craft and inspiring others.

So keep crafting and creating.

Cheremane

Cheremane has created this beautiful

 card for our
Buttons and Bows Challenge

 

 

Cheremane, This is such a lovely card that you have created

for, "Mum"!  

What an adorable image!  She sure does look relaxed

as she holds a refreshing drink!

Your colouring is beautiful!

The pink and green design papers are so soft and pretty.

Is that lace trim really shaped like bows?  How lovely!

The flowers and pearl scrolls make pretty embellishments,

but my favorite is the pretty pink gingham bow with the

button middle!  How perfect for our current challenge!

Mum will absolutely love her card!

 

********

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

to read more about her lovely card and
to see more of her beautiful creations!
I do hope that you can stop by to visit her.

It's been a real pleasure, Cheremane
Well done!
Thank you for sharing your
talent with us!
