Fussy and Fancy Challenge 132 - It's All About LOVE!

Happy Friday
Fussy and Fancy followers!

********

Our challenge for the next
fortnight is hosted by our

very sweet and talented
Ivonne

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 to color, especially with Copics…it’s my stress reliever!

Now that my daughter is away in college, I try to keep myself busy,

and besides crafting and DIY projects, I also like to read, exercise and most importantly,

share time with family and friends, because it is all about love and that my friends,

is the theme for our new challenge. We want you to join it and share some love with us.

Big hug, Ivonne

As Ivonne said, the challenge she has chosen is:

It's All About Love

Here is the lovely
It's All About Love
card that Ivonne has created!

What an adorable Magnolia stamp! And just look at all
of the lovely lace, layers and textures! The cream flowers,
gold hearts and white pearls are so elegant! What a great eiffel tower!

Fussy and Fancy Challenge 131 - Things with Wings

Happy Friday
Fussy and Fancy followers!

********

Our challenge for the next
fortnight is hosted by our

very sweet and talented
Annie

http://anniescraftyattic.blogspot.co.uk/

Hey, it's Friday and time for a new Fussy & Fancy Challenge, the second one of 2015.

I am very excited to host this challenge, especially as it is being sponsored by Sweet Lilac Flowers and Fresh Brewed Designs.

I have chosen a ‘Things with Wings’ as the challenge theme because it’s that time of year here in the UK when we are thinking about Spring arriving and the garden coming to life again after the Winter, in our garden that means the return of all my feathered friends.

I'm Annie, and I live in Bangor, North Wales. It is a very beautiful part of the country that lies between the mountains and the sea. I am now retired after many years working in retail as a customer service manager.

I have been creating in one form or another as long as I can remember, but nowadays it is mainly card making and altered art that keeps me occupied and amused. In fact, if I'm honest I do not know how I found time to go to work before I retired!

I hope you will be inspired by the beautiful work the Fussy and Fancy girls have done and will give this challenge a go!

Crafty Hugs Annie xx

The challenge Annie has chosen is:

Things with Wings

Here is the lovely
Things with Wings card
that Annie has created!

Annie

Wow! Aren't Annie's birds beautiful?
And just look at those pretty flowers!
I love the soft clouds that Annie added to the background
and what a fun fold!
What a beautiful Birthday Card!

Annie will be choosing the
