Featured Guest Designer for Challenge 98

Hello and happy Friday

********

Today the Fussy and Fancy girls

are happy to introduce

our very talented guest designer

Sammy Stevenson

Here's a little about Sammy:

 My name's Sammy and I live in Leeds in the UK
with my husband and two children.

 I started card making last summer when I bought
a Docrafts goodie bag on a whim for
 the kids to make fathers day cards with.

 Then, as there was so much in the bag and hubby’s
birthday only a couple of days later we made
birthday cards too!  I enjoyed it so much, I soon started
getting more and more bits to play with.

Well, you can all relate to the slippery slope that becomes!

I started my blog in July this year, and not long after
I took the plunge to start stamping and colouring
images, rather than use pre-made toppers.  My
addiction has now gone to a whole new level and
with the recent addition of a die cutting machine, I
don’t  think life will ever be the same…

My main obsessions are LOTV stamps and
designer papers and I LOVE making boys cards,
but will pretty much try anything twice! xxx

********

 Here's the fantastic side step card
that Sammy has created for our
current challenge:

One for the Boys

Well you've certainly mastered "boy cards"
Sammy!  We can see that you have poured
lots of love and detail into this special card!

What an adorable LOTV stamp that you have
coloured in wonderful
warm shades that match your design paper.

We can see that you're having lots of fun
with your new die cutting machine. 

All of the elements from the stars to  
the buttons work well together to 
make the perfect card for a boy.

We hope that you can visit Sammy's blog

to find out more about her artwork

It's been a real pleasure Sammy - thank you!

Guest Designer for Challenge 96 - Sport

Hello and happy Friday

********

Today the Fussy and Fancy girls

are happy to introduce

our very talented guest designer

Margaret Binder
(Mags)

Here's a little about Mags:

My name's Margaret but everyone calls me Mags.  I'm 49 years of age and married with two grown up daughters who still live at home and keep me busy.

I've always been creative but got into paper crafting about five years ago.  You could say that I'm totally hooked!

I enjoy making cards and love trying out new styles and techniques.  I'm also a bit of a paper hoarder. For me crafting is a way to relax after a busy day at work.

********

And here's the monotone card Mag's
has made for our current challenge :

Sport

We think that Mag's has created the
perfect male card, not only
highlighting one of the most popular
sports, but helping all of us with an
idea for a male card.

The majority of us cringe when asked
to make cards for men so thanks
for the inspiration Mags.

We hope that you can visit Mag's blog

out more about her great artwork

It's been a real pleasure Mag's - thank you!

Before we announce our new challenge,

we'd like to introduce a new member

to our design team.

Millazin was our guest

designer from the last challenge and

we're pleased that she accepted our

invitation to join us.

Here's Millazin to introduce herself:

Here's a little about Millazin:

I'm 35 and live in Drammen, Norway with my
 boyfriend and work in the city of Oslo.

I've been crafting for about a year and a half and have
been completely hooked by this wonderful hobby.  There
are so many exciting techniques and materials to play with.
I'm very fond of making grungy projects, such as this, but I
also make more delicate ones too.  I like to try different
things all the time, but folding techniques and metal tape are
my favourites.

********

Our challenge for the next fortnight
is hosted by Celine

And the theme she has chosen is:

Celine would like to see your
projects showing all different kinds
of sporting activities from
aerobics to zumba.

Here's some ideas and inspiration

Guest Designer for Challenge 95 - Back To School

Hello and happy Friday

are happy to introduce

our very talented guest designer

Millazin

 boyfriend and work in the city of Oslo.

I've been crafting for about a year and a half and have
been completely hooked by this wonderful hobby.  There

And here's the altered notebook
and pencil holder that Millazin has
made for our current challenge

Back To School

Who would think that you could make
these with an old kitchen roll tube,
recycled cardboard and a notebook!

Just add a dash of Tim Holtz, a spray
of dylusions and a whole lot of metal
tape amongst other things and these
wonderful projects have been created.

Aren't they stunning?
