Before we announce our new challenge,

we'd like to introduce a new member

to our design team.

Katharina Wikholm was our guest

designer from our last challenge and

we're pleased that she accepted our

invitation to join us.

Here's Katharina to introduce herself:

I'm a 59 year old Swedish spoken Finn, living in the city of

Vasa in Finland.  My husband and I have four grow up

children and four grandchildren.

I've always been interested in handicrafts and at the

moment I'm enjoying different stamping techniques, card

making and papier mache.  I'm always looking and trying

new techniques too.  My style varies from pretty things, bling,

lace and ribbons one day to fantasy, mystic and abstract.

Travelling to different countries gives me a lot of inspiration

for my artwork.

I currently work as a leisure supervisor for retired people

********

Our challenge for the next fortnight
is hosted by Sazzle

And the theme she has chosen is:

Bingo Board

Sazzle would like to see your projects

using the lines on the bingo board,
either running horizontally, vertically
or diagonally.  If you're feeling really
adventurous you may want to go for
a full house!

Please make it clear when you enter
which line you are using to make it
easier for us to identify.

Here's some ideas from
the design team:

Here's a little about Katharina:

Challenge 94 - More Than One Fold

Happy Friday Fussy and Fancy followers

********

Our new guest designer and top 5 from

challenge 93 "lemon and lavender"

will be announced next Friday

(Friday 2nd August) so please pop

back then to see

if you are amongst the winners

********

Before we announce our new challenge,

we'd like to welcome a new member

to our design team.

Diana Fernandez was our guest

designer from our last challenge and

we're pleased that she accepted our

invitation to join us.

Here's Diana to introduce herself:

I'm a lover of all things crafty!  I enjoy spending time

creating not only paper craft items, but also mixed

media and altered art projects.  I love to scour thrift

and second hand stores for treasures that I can

transform into something new and beautiful

I live in beautiful (but hot) Phoenix, Arizona, where

I'm outside all winter, and hiding from the heat in the

summer!  I adore entering crafting challenges and am

always making lists of new challenges that I can

play along with.

My favourite products are generally from Ranger or

Tim Holtz, but I'm also really enjoying Bo Bunny papers,

 Angie Delarie, Saturated Canary and Dilly Beans digi

stamps.  I'm trying my hand at colouring and like that

I can see slow but steady progress.

When I'm not crafting I work full time as a 911

operator/police dispatcher.  I adore my work and can

truly say that every single day I work is different from

the last.  At home my husband and I have a house full

of furry kids (3 dogs and 3 cats!).

It's a wonderful and rewarding life.

********

Our challenge for the next fortnight

is hosted by Norma

And the theme she has chosen is:

Norma would like to see your

projects using more than one fold, so

this is where you get your fingers tied

in a knot and your brain lets off steam

as you try to remember the

measurements for your steppers,

trifolds, gatefolds and criss cross cards.

Let your imagination run wild and if

you can create anything like our

challenge theme picture we'd love to

see you enter it into our challenge.

Here's some ideas from

the design team:
