Hi everyone!

I feel both delighted and honored to be hosting

this lovely challenge at Fussy and Fancy today.

Fussy and Fancy? Well, what a fabulous name and

might I add, one that suits me down to the ground!

I just love the Vintage and Shabby Chic look, but I do like trying new things.

I love creating shape cards, fancy folds and lots of different projects and ideas.

It is great when I come across new Tutorials on your blogs.

They can be so inspiring!

I get such pleasure from looking through all of your entries

at Fussy and Fancy. What a wealth of inspiration all of you

provide us with.

And then, of course, there is my very favorite shop. Live and Love Crafts!

Sandy is the owner, and she stocks the finest quality papers and embellishments.

Tip top friendly service with fast delivery and always beautifully wrapped and packed.

I hope that you all enjoy this fabulous, "Shabby Chic" Challenge.

What a brilliant excuse to use up all those lovely laces, pearls, frillies and fancies.

I loved making the card for this challenge and I am sure you will too.

I cannot wait to see what you all come up with.

What is Live and Love Crafts?

It's a craft store in the UK where all of us

want to sit with a cup of tea or coffee and

spend hours drooling, I mean, looking on the

Live and Love Crafts website

at all of the gorgeous crafting supplies that

we could dream about!

The owner, Sandy, is especially passionate about

the Vintage and Shabby Chic style!

Sandy, has managed to bring the best

Vintage craft products from Scandinavia

and worldwide suppliers alike, into her store!

She is continuously adding a huge

range of products and brands!

She is especially passionate about

excellent customer service!

I happen to know from personal experience,

that Sandy will contact you the very same

day or less than an hour later.

She answers any questions you might have

and she is so very nice!

Then there is the arrival of your very special

package filled with goodies!

Everything is so carefully and beautifully wrapped

in pretty tissue paper!

It's like receiving an order from a very fancy gift store!

The very sweet, generous and lovely owner,

of Live and Love Crafts,

Because Sandy is full of surprises,

She asked one of her very talented

created this gorgeous Baptism card

Our challenge for the next
fortnight is hosted by our

lovely and talented
Diana

Hello, my name is Diana Fernandez!

I am so happy to be hosting the
Birthday Challenge

at Fussy and Fancy!

I chose this challenge because
March is my birthday month,

and I like to celebrate all month long!

I am a paper and mixed media crafter who loves to

dabble in scrapbooking.

I adore you tube tutorials so much, I could sit and
watch them for hours.

I am always looking for ways to incorporate

everyday items into my crafting.

I live in Phoenix, Arizona with my husband,

our 3 dogs and 3 cats.

I am a 911 operator, and adore my job!

I know it sounds silly, after all,
who loves their job?

But I do!

My favorite way to relax and unwind after

dealing with the stress of everyone else's emergencies

is to sit in my craft room and create!

I do hope that you can drop by my blog!

I am hosting some BLOG CANDY!
