I have been an artist/crafter for as long as I can remember, but just got into selling on ebay a few years ago, and started making cards and entering challenges this past February. When I was doing layouts, I used to think that the space on a card was way to small to express myself, but WOW can you pile it onto a cadr without worrying about it being flat for a book! Theres no stopping me now! I have a personal blog http://scrapbookfashionistadesigns.blogspot.com/ and a challenge blog http://fashionistachallenge.blogspot.com/ that are my passion. I make about 5 cards a week and am currently on 2 design teams, with my sights set on a few more.

 Its always lovely to be asked to be a guest designer, so thank you for that opportunity.

Our Amazing Sponsors this week are

Sassy Studio Designs is a fresh new company. We have been designing and selling for 2 years now, and we have been kindly received into the community of digi stampers and crafters. I started designing images shortly after I started stamping, reason being...I didn't hardly like anything else out there I was a young adult woman at the time I was engaged, had no kids, I wanted fun sexy images that I would enjoy using and my friends and hubby would enjoy receiving. I designed images for 2 other digi stamp companies when my wonderful hubby kept trying to get me to go out on my own. So in June 2009 thanks to the few faithful followers I had, Sassy Studio Designs was born! It has been a wonderful journey starting my own store. We have just grown so much these past months.I still try to keep Lindsay Dyer: keep with my original philosophy and reason for designing stamps, make them fun and keep them sassy...and yes sometimes even sexy!

Hi, my name Stephanie Wright. I am very honored and excited to have the
opportunity to be a Guest Designer for Love to Create.
I met my Mr. Wright *grin* while in college. On his first Christmas break
after graduating from college, we were married. That was 27 years ago and
he’s still my best friend and favorite person in the world.
He is currently a bi-vocational pastor and we work together (and even share
a 10’x10’ office) during the week for a small Christian music company. Our
son and his wife live nearby and are the parents of our precious grandson.
Our daughter graduated this month from college. She’ll go on for her
Master’s degree in English this fall and is beginning to hear the sound of
wedding bells ringing in her future.
I have enjoyed many different crafts all my life. I started scrapbooking
in 2004. After we downsized, when we moved to VA in 2008, my focus turned
to making cards and other paper crafts. I enjoy being able to encourage
others by a card or gift I’ve made. While crafting, I’m usually supervised
by at least one of our three cats. My blog is Steph's Scrap Happenings.
I'd love to have you stop by and say hello sometime.

Everything That You Ever Wanted to Know About Bugaboo Stamps: A Short Essay

That was two years ago. Today Bugaboo Stamps is one of the leading companies in digital images, and we're still growing! From seriously snarky to sugary sweet to sublimely soulful all the way over to the other side of the super sexy spectrum, you're bound to find all that you need and more to create your paper projects. Jodie works very hard to provide New Releases and Freebies every week!
your taste runs to rubber (and you know who you are), you can find Bugaboo Stamps stamps at Totally Stampalicious. And finally, join the Bugaboo Stamps DT for weekly challenges at Catch the Bug.


One lucky winner will receive 7 digis of their choice!!
WOW!! Hows that for a Fantastic prize?
