Guest Designer for Challenge 88 - Anything Goes


Hello and happy Friday

********

Today the Fussy and Fancy girls
are happy to introduce
our very talented guest designer

Lorraine Lowe

Here's a little bit about Lorraine:

I'm a single parent living in Gloucestershire with my
son James and Jack Russell pup named Jessie.

I am both an avid crafter and animal lover and have
been crafting for several years.  I started off with
decoupage, progressed onto rubber stamping,
which is my true love, then digi images started
to play a part in my card making.

Recently I've taken up crochet again after many
years absence and due to the internet I've been
able to learn tons more than I ever dreamed
possible.  I believe I've added an extra interest
to my day to day crafting


Here's the gorgeous gift set that Lorraine
has made for our current challenge

Anything Goes



This is such a special gift set, Lorraine
You've coloured and shaded your two
images beautifully!


Your crocheted flowers add such
a personal and fun touch to your gift set.

We're looking forward to finding out
what the special gift is inside the box.
We hope you can visit Lorraine's blog

Coldwaters2

to read more about this lovely gift set and
how she made it. You'll be in for a treat
when you take the time to see more
of her work.

It's been a real pleasure Lorraine - thank you!

Guest Designer for Challenge 87 Vintage


Hello and happy Friday

********

Today the Fussy and Fancy girls
are happy to introduce
our very talented guest designer

Ginny Getty

Here's a little bit about Ginny:

I live in northern California, in the foothills of the Sierras, with
my husband Scott.  I love and teach the paper arts, from book
making, iris folding, paper sculpting, rubber stamping
to zentangles.

As my "rubber room" is filled beyond capacity I find myself
turning more and more to digis for new fun images.

Something I swore I would never do (determined to remain a
rubber purist!).  Now my favourite artists include Mo Manning
of the Digital Pencil, Megan Suarez of Dilly Beans and Sassy
Cheryl who are all among so many talented artists in their field.

Here's hoping that you colour with abandon, create wildly and
always make what amuses you!

Here's the gorgeous card that Ginny
has made for our current challenge

Vintage



We love the blend of colours
used to create your background
over stamping with your vintage
stamp and swirls.  

Combined with your flowers
and ribbon it makes a great 
vintage themed card.

We hope you can visit Ginny's blog

RubberMAD

to read more about her card and how she
made it.  You'll be in for a treat when you
take the time to see more of her work

It's been a real pleasure Ginny  - thank you!
