I'm
a Norwegian cat loving and scrap loving girl :-)
I
started scrapping in 2006 and as time progressed I fell in love
with creating
other small objects too. I've been
making cards
since 2008 and started stamping in 2010 and now I can’t seem
to
stop! My favourite stamps at the moment are
KennyK, Sweet Pea and Simply Betty.
My favourite style is Steampunk and you often find small bits and pieces of
metal and chains hanging from my cards. I also use a lot of bright and clear colours on my creations and I
can't make a card without having some flowers on it!
I’m a 50+ year old woman and have been married to my hubby for 30 years
and have two grown sons. I work at an elementary school by day and I’m a
passionate paper crafter during my time off. I’ve been crafting
most my life,
sewing Barbie clothes, decorative painting, drawing, and cross
stitch in my
younger years.
I really became involved with rubber stamping/scrap booking/paper crafts when I became a consultant for D.O.T.S., which is now known as Close to My Heart. At the same time I was also teaching craft
classes at Michael's, our local community centre and also our Women's church
retreats too. Being a consultant was a perfect part time job when my sons
were little and I loved creating my cards, planning my demonstrations, teaching others techniques and providing tips. It was so satisfying seeing other women get just as excited as I did about paper, ink and rubber stamps. Since giving up the consultancy I’ve started
my own blog and I’m always excited about the amount of talent, sharing and
inspiration that takes place daily among bloggers who share this passion
for paper crafting.
Being in my creative space is a great stress reliever in the evening & weekends.
I'm
a 40 year old mum of 2, step mum of 2 and grandma to 1 with number 2
due in
October. I have a fair bit of crafting
time just now as I left my job in
December when we were supposed to be moving
to Scotland. As well as
making cards I sew, cross stitch and knit although I
still can't manage crochet and my family would say my cooking is fairly scary
lol! The cat and I like nothing better than sneaking off to the hobbit hole, as
my craft room is known, for some peace and quiet although I do spend quite a
bit of time with my nose in a book as well or catching up online.
I'm really
looking forward to working with such a great team of talented crafters.
Hi,
my name is Danielle Mack and I live and work in Dallas, Texas.
I have been scrapbooking now for the past few
years and I love it! I also enjoy making cards and altered projects too.
I
went to college for fine art so I love photography, painting and sculpture and
when I’m not busy with all of that I’ve also got a dog named Coco and we love
to go walking together.
Before we give you the details of our new challenge we would like to thank everyone that entered our design team call. We had some very talented applicants, which made it a difficult decision, but we will be announcing the new designers next week.
**********
Back to the challenge and this time we have a sketch for you.
You can rotate or flip it as long as we can see the original sketch and we will be checking ;-)
Here's how our design team have interpreted the sketch:
Hi, I’m Nicki from North East England and I’ve been card-making for about 7 or 8 years, after going to a stamping workshop with a friend. I thought I’d start making my own cards to save money on shop-bought ones – little did I know how addictive it would become, and how much stash I would ‘need’ to buy over the years!! I love stamping and colouring images, and also using embossing folders and dies to create texture and layers. I work 4 days a week and spend as much of my spare time as I can crafting – if it’s a choice between feather dusters and ink dusters, the inky ones will win every time! My blog name – Cards with Little Ted – comes from my hubby’s nickname for me, as well as the cute little bear in my profile photo, who is only 5cm tall.
Just look at all of the dry embossing along with those elegant pearls. There are so many lovely details on this gorgeous purse!
You can visit Nicki's lovely blog and read all of the details for this beautiful purse shaped card at
Our current challenge "Anything But Square/Rectangle" can be found here

It's always sad when we have to say goodbye to members of our design team, but we realise that personal lives have to take priority. We're going to miss seeing the talents of Lisa and Diane going forward, but we're still going to be seeing Susan and Guylaine's talents in the next challenge before we have to say our goodbyes! Thanks for all your inspiration ladies and we wish you all well for the future.
So we're going to have to find some more talented crafters to fill the gaps that these ladies have left and also to boost our numbers up to full capacity again and that's where we need you!
