Wings & Willows
Hello, I'm Rebecca from Wings & Willows. I am a happy wife and mama to 3 sweet girls. The hubby and I live in the country along with an assortment of animals. In my small amount of spare time, I love to blog about our life and share some new (and free) stamps that I've created. (As well as fill you in on sales in the shop!) My digital stamps definitely are a reflection of the day-to-day things that go on at home. I've been doodling for the past 30-ish years, so it's great to share my art with friends! In addition to that, I paint fingerprint trees. Just think of them as a fun and unique alternative to guest books. I would love for you to take a peek at my shops. (Or drop a line in my blog! I love to hear from you!) Thanks! Becca  :)

Hi, my name is Annie and for as long as I can remember, I have always had my hands into some form of craft. Doodling always helped pass the time for me when I was younger and it's something that has carried over as I got older. Just about everything inspires me and influences my style or art. I enjoy drawing and creating for younger children and those entering their teen years. My style is very chibi (mini/child like in anime) oriented, and my characters are always whimsy and fun. I began Stamp Annie*Thing after numerous requests from customers that purchased my clip-art to make them into rubber stamps. Although we are fairly new to Clear Photopolymer Stamp world (producing), we have been in the crafting community online for over a decade. I hope that my drawings and stamps put a smile on your face and that you will be inspired to create with them!

This week's PRIZE is the Ooh La La Stamp Set!


Please join us as we Welcome Our Guest Designer this week!!

Mirella



I started my adventure with card-making in late 2011, when I was looking for some inspiration for a wedding card for a good friend. I went onto YouTube, browsed through a few videos and… fell in love with heat and dry embossing, die-cutting, paper piecing, stamping, colouring… you name it! I decided to buy a few supplies to give it a go and…truth be told, never stopped buying them! We all know that feeling, don’t we? ;-)

I am still learning and developing my style. Sometimes I am all for CAS (Clean And Simple) cards, on other occasions I load my cards with embellishments and glitter. I love all things cute and girly, and am absolutely addicted to butterflies. Every now and then I like trying out shaped cards – they’re a lot of fun! My Achilles’ heel is making male cards – I am still hopeful that someday I will improve in that area! **

This is the first time I am participating in a challenge blog as a Guest Designer -  thank you for the opportunity, Jackie! If you want to see more of my work, please pop over to my blog, or find my Facebook Page "Handmade by Mirella" (new Likers are always welcome! J)

Our Fabulous Sponsor this week is

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!

Sassy Studio Designs is offering a Fabulous Prize
4 images of winner's choice!!

Our theme this week is
