Our Fabulous Sponsors for this weeks
Anything Goes Challenge are

The Stamping Chef


The Stamping Chef was born in November 2012, Here’s a little bit about Tamara, the artist/creator of all the wonderful images you will find in The Stamping Chef store.   Drawing is my passion, and my style is fun, cute and doodlish ~I think =D.  I love to see images come to life when they're colored by amazing crafters. Creating digital images can be a tedious process, but I love each and every step of it.

The Stamping Chef offers a anything goes weekly challenge on Wednesday on our Blog, and many weekly and monthly challenges on our The Stamping Chef forum http://thestampingchef.com/Forum/ to play along with for some TSC images to win!

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

Doctor-Digi

I have been drawing since a child and studied graphics at College many years ago, I now work as a Medical photographer part time but my love was always drawing. I started cardmaking about 4-yrs ago when I bought my daughter a cardmaking kit which we did together, but I’m afraid I got the bug! My daughter preferred scrapbooking. I then started looking online at other blogs and this then became my passion and I loved sharing my cards with like minded people.
I love stamping and loved finding images, but sometimes I could not find what I wanted so I started to draw myself.
This then has become my second addiction and I have never looked back, I love thinking of new images, and its just fabulous to see others take them and make them into beautiful works of art. Long may it continue!

Offering two (2) Digital Stamps of WINNER's Choice!

Please join us in Welcoming our Guest Designer this week!!

Sandi

My name is Sandi Huggett and I live in Arizonza.
I love almost anything that has to do with card making. My passion at the moment has to be my Copic markers and digital images. I started drawing my own images 2 years ago and so far having a ball creating digi stamps. I am administrator on the TTCRD challenge blog and have had several digi and creations published in the magizine.

Nicole
Hello!! I’m a former kindergarten teacher who is now a stay at home mom to my 2 little girls. I have always enjoyed paper crafting and started this hobby by making little treat boxes and party favors. I have recently discovered a new love of coloring with Copic Markers. I would color all day long if my family would let me…!! Lol! My favorite colors are the blue greens (affectionately called the BG’s) and I try to sneak them into every card I make!! I love to get crafty with my girls (ages 8 & 6) and let them color images right along side me. It’s a fun hobby for us all to share!! I'm so happy that Ruza and Jackie asked me to join them for the challenge this week.
