Hi and welcome to a new challenge, our new theme is ...
All about Travel
which is hosted by Fresh Brewed Designs.
I am so pleased to be hosting this challenge
and I'm looking forward to seeing all
your fabulous designs.

My name is Jo Rice and I have always loved all forms
of art and craft with my main interests being pyrography and
card making.

 

I love to use stamps and stencils in my designs and
I run regular workshops in the north of England U.K.

I am married to Karl and we have two sons, Adam and Mikey
and a Labrador called Tess....
( she is my craft companion and is always by my side)

I love to share ideas with fellow crafters and put regular
tutorials on my blog.
Through craft I have made some wonderful friends and
find blog challenges a good source of inspiration
so come on and join in.....you know you want to.....

Featured Guest Designer for challenge 110 Shabby Chic

Hello and happy Friday!

 

******** 

  

Today the Fussy and Fancy girls

are happy to introduce

our very talented
Guest Designer

Katie K.

 

Here's a little about Katie: 

My name is Katie and I live in beautiful Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

 

 I have been crafting for as long as I can remember.

I was introduced to stamping in 2008 and fell in love with

card making instantly.

  

I love shabby Chic and vintage style and would like to try

multi-media and grunge style this year.

 

Two years ago, I finally had enough confidence to start my own blog and it has been an incredible journey for me.

I have made some wonderful friends and learned so much from many paper crafters around the world. Your beautiful creations truly inspire me.  

 

I hope my art work can inspire you too.

I am very honored to guest design for Fussy and Fancy Friday Challenge.

Katie has made a Gorgeous card
for our, Shabby Chic challenge.

 

 



Katie, Your

Birthday card is GORGEOUS!

 

You certainly have mastered the

Shabby Chic style!

 

We love the image with the lovely soft shades

of blue and pink that you coloured!

 

Just look at all of the beautiful

layers of lace!

 

The brown floral die cut going up the side

is so delicate and lovely.

 

The white scroll and lace ribbon make the

perfect setting for the pink ribbon rose.

So very pretty!

 

The pearl floral trim and the tiny butterflies

add the perfect feminine touches.

 

What a wonderful Birthday keepsake

you have created!

 

A Treasure to be sure!

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,

Sandy Mathis,

is offering one very lucky winner

this store voucher!!

 Because Sandy is full of surprises,

She asked one of her very talented

Live and Love Crafts, DT Members

if she would like to create a card for our

Shabby Chic Challenge!

 

The very sweet and talented

Elin Torbergsen

has very kindly

created this gorgeous Baptism card
