Challenge #88 ~ Artist Trading Card

Happy Monday!

Thank you to everyone who participated in our 

"Sketch Challenge" last week.

We had a fantastic turnout with so many amazing submissions showcasing your interpretations of our Sketch! The team and I had an awesome time visiting your blogs to see your creativity in action! Fabulous Job!!!

Once again I would like the Thank all of the Designers who sent in their application to join our Love to Create Design Team. Today it gives me great pleasure to introduce our Newest Designers to you.

Hi, my name is Lorraine. I live in Cumbria, England with my life partner and two almost grown children. Being a relative newbie to crafting - almost 5 years since I bought my first stamp. I have found that stamping is my most favorite thing to do: from choosing the stamp, how I am going to colour it, cut it or punch it, and then layer, emboss or accessories it. I just love stamping. I stamp cards and scrap-booking pages, mini books and anything else I can get my hands on. I decided to apply for being a design team member to help me challenge myself to progress with my crafting: when you work together in a group like that the ideas seem to just bounce around brilliantly and you feel empowered to try things you might not have done!

Hi, I'm Maureen. I'm a stay at home mum of 4 children and I've been married for over 13-years now. I've always been arty and crafty, and have a higher in Art and Design, but after school I dabbled in several jobs before gaining a degree in Adult Nursing. However, hubby is studying at the moment and being at home with the kids means I have a bit more time to get crafting! I'm a card maker at heart but also enjoy home decor projects and have started experimenting with altered art. I'm so excited to be joining the Love to Create team and look forward to working with you all and helping inspire the challenge entrants. 

These ladies are busy working on projects to inspire you, and they will be joining us for Challenge #90 on November 4th. Please join us in Welcoming these ladies to our Design Team.

Laila

My name is Laila, I'm a 26 year old girl from Norway :) 

I live in a small area in the south-east region, enjoying the mountains, the sea and the forest. 

I started crafting (scrapbook-albums) 8 years ago, and found my way into folding, stamping and cards as my curiosity got bigger. I now make primarily cards, with some albums now and then, and I love it! Style-wise, I lean towards bright colours and contrasts, as well as my beloved Steampunk. Making a lot of steampunk means my favorite stamp-creators are amongst others KennyK, Simply Betty Stamps, and SweetPea. Other beloved brands are DCWV, Graphic 45, Prima, Lindy's Stamp Gang and Dusty Attic.

Our Fabulous Sponsor(s) for this weeks
Color Inspired Challenge are

Sassy Studio Designs

Sassy Studio Designs is a fresh new company. We have been designing and selling for 4 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!

Offering four (4) Sassy Digital Stamps of WINNER's Choice.

Fresh Brewed Designs

Hello! I am  Heather, the artist and owner of Fresh Brewed Designs. I'm the wife of an amazing husband and mother of two sweet and talented kids. I home school my children. I  LOVE coffee, creating and chatting with my friends. Fresh Brewed Designs is an online shop that I opened in November 2010. We sell a wide variety of rubber and digital stamps that grows daily. We have a digi release once (sometimes more) a month as well as our monthly rubber release and blog hops. At Fresh Brewed Designs we always have a fresh pot of  creativity brewing. So stop by and join us for a cuppa whenever you want! 

Offering three (3) Digital Stamps of WINNER's choice!

Time to share our Sketch with you ...

Judy

For many years I made cross stitched cards and small projects (one nighters) until late 2007 when I gingerly transferred to card making. It was some time before stamping took hold but once it did WOW there no stopping me, I just love it! I had silently followed the blogs avidly but only plucked up the courage to form my own blog in February 2011! It was so scary hitting ‘publish’for the first time, but now I wonder why I did not do this before. I feel I have come such a long way, am now on two Design Teams, and also am enjoying doing commissions for Papercrafts Essentials magazine, the first of which was Published in February 2013. It is a great hobby, and one that is definitely a pleasure to share. Do feel free to drop by and say hello on http://inkypinkydelights.blogspot.com/.
