Fussy and Fancy Featured Guest Designer for Challenge # 165 "Anniversary or Wedding"


Hello once again!
********
 The Fussy and Fancy girls
are back to introduce
our very talented
Featured
Guest Designer
for our "Anniversary or Wedding" challenge!!
Hi, I'm Andrea Norris, unknown artist - Living in Leeds, Yorkshire in the UK.  I work full time as a Management Accountant and I'm currently working on 4 design teams.  I'm a dancer (Argentine Tango and Ceroc) and a competitive badminton player.  It's amazing that I've managed to squeeze drawing into my schedule as well as being an obsessive crafter and creator of cards.  I have no actual style as yet, but do love the unusual and quirky.  I may be known for producing cards in soft pastel colours.

I love anything arty.  I've always drawn stuff, for as long as I can remember.   In my younger days I sold a few water colour paintings.  I recently found mixed media which is a joy and love creating canvases with flowers.

I've had a battle with digital drawing for about a year and finally found some software I can gel with in January 2016.  Recently one of the challenge teams I worked on was short of a designer's images to create with so I drew some.  Then people kept asking me for my drawings.  So I thought what the heck let's open a shop and give something back to the crafting world, to the lovely ladies who have supported me on my journey.

Recently I've just started my own Facebook group SheepSki Designs where I hold challenges.  Things are growing slowly so I still manage to spend at least a little time with my hubby :D

Fussy and Fancy Friday Challenge 165 - Anniversary or Wedding!

Happy Friday
Fussy and Fancy Followers!

********
Our challenge for the next
fortnight is hosted by our
super talented Tammy!

Tammy
Good morning everyone, Tammy here to welcome you to a
new challenge at Fussy and Fancy!
It's my turn to host the challenge and
I have chosen the theme of  

Anniversary or Wedding. 

I've always had some kind of crafty thing going on in my life. But, when I started to make cards,
I knew it was the perfect craft for me because I love to color and create with paper.
I think the best way to describe my style would be... bold coloring with mostly "cute" images and
I love my die cuts!

I hope that you will join us and we can't wait to see all of your creations!

Hugs, Tammy


Here is the adorable card that Tammy created to
share with all of you for her

Anniversary or Wedding Challenge!

Tammy

Tammy, your card is precious!  I love that you used
a Princess with her Knight in shining armor!
The images are absolutely adorable!
The hill landscape behind the castle die cut
makes the perfect backdrop for your
royal couple! 
The sentiment is perfect!  This could be
a great wedding card or an anniversary card!
Thank you, Tammy!

For lots of great card making inspiration, you will
want to pop on over to Tammy's blog!
I promise it will be a treat!

Tammy will be choosing the Top 5 winners
for this challenge!

Fussy and Fancy Featured Guest Designer for Challenge 164 - Dies and or Punches!

Hello once again!

********
 The Fussy and Fancy girls
are back to introduce
our very talented
Featured
Guest Designer
Lynda Cooke

Here is a little bit about Lynda..
.
Hi :-) My name is Lynda and I'm 34 years old.
I live in Surrey, England with my three rescue cats, Noah,
Jinx and Ruby  and my awesome partner in crime Steve.
I work as Corporate parent for teenagers who have
been in care during the day
and I'm a domestic goddess at night, although my baking does leave a lot to be desired so I'm told :-)
 I love everything crafty!! I got into card-making two years ago.
I got really ill with a tumor on my leg and couldn't walk very well.
My boyfriend bought me a card-making magazine and some crafty bits and  I've not looked back since.
Like most crafters I have tried everything once, but card making is my favorite.
I'm so happy to be a guest designer for such a fantastic blog!
Lynda xx 


And here is the Gorgeous card that Lynda created for our
Dies and or Punches Challenge

Now how ADORABLE is this little Magnolia ballerina?!
Lynda, your die cuts are absolutely beautiful!
Your colouring and eye for detail make for such a lovely card!
I love the pretty pink...It's so very feminine with the
flowers, pearls and lace!
The stitching around the, "Happy Birthday" really  makes it pop!
Your card is so very pretty!!
.

 Thank you Lynda for joining us as our Featured Guest Designer at
Fussy and Fancy!!

So now dear crafty friends...
Please pop on over to
for a real treat while you enjoy your coffee or tea!
