Fussy and Fancy Featured Guest Designer for Challenge - 124 Lot's of Pink or Breast Cancer

Hello and happy Friday!

 
******** 
  
Today the Fussy and Fancy girls
are happy to introduce
our very talented
Guest Designer

Jenny McRonald

 

Here's a little about Jenny: 

Hi, I'm Jenny
I live in Wirral, which is in the North West of England.
I have lived here all of my life and taught locally in Primary Education for over 30 years.
I am now retired and can enjoy my passion of card making, whenever I feel like it.

I have been interested in crafts from a very early age.
I was lucky enough to experience several at school.  I studied Art
at college and over the years, I have tried many different crafts.

While teaching, I always enjoyed novel ways of displaying the children's
work and now I see my cards as mini displays.

I am keen to try new products and techniques.  A visit to a craft show is
like putting me in a sweet shop!  Long may it continue......

I was diagnosed with breast cancer last year, so this card means a lot to me,
which is why I have included the pink ribbon hoop.  I was lucky that my
cancer was detected early and treated quickly.
 

*******
 
Jenny, we are so glad to hear that your cancer
was detected early and treated right away.
 
Now, Let's talk about your beautiful pink cards!
Your image is adorable and we love all of the pink
sparkle on her outfit and how you framed and embellished
 her picture with pretty pink buttons, bling and pink foil trim! 
 
We just can't help but notice
all of the lovely texture and dry embossing that you
added to your cards!  What a lovely effect!
The pretty pink hats, looped ribbon and sweet little
sentiment tags, add the perfect finishing touches!
 
These certainly are very pretty cards that are
guaranteed to make somebody's heart smile
during a difficult time.

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

Jeni's Craftroom
 
to read more about her lovely cards 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, Jenny!
Well done!
Thank you for sharing your
talent with us!

Happy Friday
Fussy and Fancy followers!

********

 
Our challenge for the next fortnight is
being hosted by our
 very sweet and super talented
 
 
Hi! My name is Ivonne and I live in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
I am mother of a 19 year’s old beautiful young lady, who makes me proud every day.  
I also have two Chihuahuas and a rescued mixed dog. 
 
I’ve been crafting since I was a little girl.  I’ve done macramé, cold porcelain,
scrapbooking, mosaics and a few more.
 
A few years ago, and thanks to my best friend Kathya, I started making cards
and I loved it immediately.
I can spend hours visiting other card makers blogs,
admiring their gorgeous creations
 and learning a lot from each and every one of them.  
I love, love, love coloring stamps, especially with Copics…it’s my stress reliever!
I am always trying to learn new techniques and to improve my coloring skills.  
 
My favorite color? Pink, of course, so I know for sure, I will be spending plenty
of time enjoying your creations for our new challenge.
 
Big hug, Ivonne

Our challenge for the next fortnight is
being hosted by our very sweet and talented

Céline

 
The challenge Céline has chosen is
"Main Colour RED"



Hi, My name is Céline and I live in France near Paris.

I enjoy teaching at primary school during the day.

Then, I have been sharing my card making
blog with my sister Nathalie

(who is also on the Fussy and Fancy DT)
for a little more than 4 years.

I love and enjoy card making.
I really love coloring my stamps or digis, best of all.

I principally use copic markers
but love to try some other mediums such as
polychromos pencils, Néocolor II or distress Markers.
However, Copics are my very favorite!
 
My style is principally shabby Chic
with lots of
flowers and lace ... so perfect for

Fussy and Fancy team ;)

Sometimes I try to make my cards more C&S

(It's really hard for me, though! LOL)

hugs
Céline



 
Below is the Gorgeous card
that Céline made for her challenge!


Céline using Prom Dress from Crafty sentiments
 
Céline this is so beautifully coloured
and just look at all of the pretty flowers,
butterflies and lace!
The lovely red die cut along the top
makes the perfect finishing touch!
 

We are always in for a

big treat when we visit Céline's  blog
that she shares with her sister, Nathalie.
