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

Sari Jokinen

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

Bingo Board

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

Sari's Cards & Altered Art

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

using the lines on the bingo board,
either running horizontally, vertically
or diagonally.  If you're feeling really
adventurous you may want to go for
a full house!

Please make it clear when you enter
which line you are using to make it
easier for us to identify.

Here's some ideas from
the design team:
