Challenge 3: Hearts

Happy Friday! Thanks to all of you who participated in Challenge 2. Tomorrow we will post the winner of the drawing for the StampInsanity stamp set, and also the Fussy and Fancy Top 5.

Our theme for the next two weeks is HEARTS!



This challenge is sponsored by Stamp Happens, and its owner, Tonya Klar. Tonya created The Stamp Happens Shop to feature the products she personally loves and recommends. Tonya loves sharing products and ideas with other crafters and hopes you will stop by her shop. The Stamp Happens Shop exclusively sells the StampInsanity line of stamps and concentrates on BoBunny and Copic products. If you sign up for The Stamp Happens Shop newsletter, you will receive exclusive discount coupon codes each month!



Tonya kindly donated gorgeous Bo Bunny papers from the "Love Bandits" and "Persuasion" collections for the design team to use in this week's creations. She has also generously donated this prize for us to award to the winner of our random drawing:




It's a Bo Bunny "Love Bandit" Photo & Card Holder Class Kit, which includes: Love Bandit Collection Papers, Double Dot Papers, Exclusive Transparency, Assorted Ribbon and Buttons, Full Page Color Instruction Sheet, and 6x6" Page Inserts! What a fabulous prize!

We hope you have fun creating projects using Hearts. To be eligible for the prize drawing, please link your project (link the POST, not just your blog), with Mr. Linky by 8:00 p.m. PST (GMT-8) on Thursday, February 11. You must also link to our challenge in your blog post. We also request that you please turn off "word verification"--that would save us a lot of time and frustration when commenting on all your posts!

Challenge 1: New

Happy New Year, and welcome to our first Fussy and Fancy Friday challenge! Because we are a new challenge blog, and this is a new year, our first challenge theme is--NEW! Use the theme however you would like: new year, new stamp, new product, new baby, new home, new anything! We decided it would be fun to use our Fussy and Fancy blog colors in our creations, but you may use any colors.

Our first challenge is sponsored by Paper Makeup Stamps, who have kindly donated the sweet digital fairy images used by several of our design team members. Paper Makeup also offers rubber stamps in various motifs, such as fairies, children, animals, dinosaurs, and monsters, as well as a nice selection of sentiment stamps. The lucky winner of our random drawing will receive her choice of any stamp set or two individual stamps from Paper Makeup! What a generous prize--thank you Katie!

To be eligible for the prize drawing, please link your "new" creation (link the post, not just your blog), with Mr. Linky by 8:00 p.m. PST (GMT-8) on Thursday, January 14.

We hope you will be enjoy the creations of our talented Guest Designers, Christine and Natalie. Christine made a gorgeous pink and black card with Miss Anya, and Natalie made a lovely scrapbook page featuring her NEW BABY! Congratulations Natalie! (We came up with our pink and black idea after Natalie had already made her page.)
