I love spending time in my craft room designing and creating with paper, fabric, flowers, ribbons, paint... anything I can get my hands on really. I have tried many different arts and crafts and have a particular passion for papercrafts, decorative painting and ribbon embroidery. I love to share ideas and "how to's" with other keen crafters visit Beccy's Place blog.

Offering 4 Digital Stamps of WINNER's Choice!

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.

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

Karen

My heart speaks clearest through artistic means, be it crafting, ballet, or baking! I thrive on creative journeys and am blessed to have found so many crafty sweethearts in this online community. I strive to be a divine ray of sunshine through my cards, using them to bring love, joy, and hope to those in need. 95% of my work is for the I Feel the Love Project, where we use our crafty passion to make cards for those who are seriously ill, homeless, grieving, or simply need to know they are not alone. I live in Michigan with two fluffy cats, will be marrying my best friend, and think chocolate and sparkles are complete and perfect happiness. :)

Bugaboo Stamps
Everything That You Ever Wanted to Know About Bugaboo Stamps: A Short Essay As if raising five children in the  frozen land of the North was not enough of a challenge, Jodie Mackrell  decided to dip her cold little Canadian toes into the world of  papercrafting by opening an online store full of her illustrations. 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!    If 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.

This week's PRIZE is ...
Seven (7) Digital Images of WINNER's Choice!

Pam D
A big Thank You to Jackie Randolph for giving me the opportunity to be a Guest Designer this week! You Rock!
I started making my card making journey about 20 years ago when my sister invited me to a Stampin'Up card swap. (Make 10 cards, swap 10 cards.) So much fun! Did that for about a year, once every 3 months. But I was mediocre. Basically I sucked at it, LOL!
Then with the advent of computers, I discovered these things called blogs and the most gorgeous cards these ladies were making and I decided I wanted to learn how to do that too! Then I found YouTube with endless hours of tutorials and discovered the secret to making beautiful cards ... layers, layers, and more layers!
Then came the Cricut, the Spellbinders, etc. ... and I was hooked!
Four years and a small fortune later, I'm just loving this journey I've been on in this blogosphere where I've literally gone all over the world from the comfort of my desktop, how fun is that!!
Thank you for taking a peek.
Blessings!
Pam D
