Midway Motivation - The Colour Purple

Welcome back to our 

 'Midway Motivation' post here at 

FANTASY STAMPERS.

I'm back with a returning Guest Designer today to give you a little motivation for our current challenge - The Colour Purple.  So, please say hello to Jan - here's a little bit about her ...

Hi, I am married to my poor hubby Bob (putting up with me and my crafty stash) and I have two fabulous sons who have given me seven (soon to be eight) grandchildren between them.

I have crafted most of my life, but it's only the last couple of years I have really got into stamping and I have been blogging around four years now at http://janlovetocraft.blogspot.co.uk/

Here's Jan's beautiful project for our current challenge ...

Stamps by Chloe

Many thanks, Jan.

So, there is still plenty of time to join us - the current challenge will close on the 11th September, and I will be back with details of our next challenge the following day.

Hugz, Jan xx

# 44 - The Colour Purple

Welcome back to the 

'Fantasy Stampers Challenge'.

Just a reminder if you are new to our challenge - 

your project doesn't have to be 

of a 'Fantasy' nature.

First of all, 'Thank You' to those of you that joined us for our last challenge 'Boys Rule!' - we had some fab entries, but please remember that we are a stamping challenge, so unfortunately we are unable to consider digital images for our Top 3. Please don't forget to pop back tomorrow to check out our 'Winner's Post'.

Secondly, I have some exciting news today as we introduce two brand new Design Team members to our challenge, so please say hello to Maria and Lesley.

MARIA 

 http://inkymits.blogspot.co.uk 

My name is Maria and I live in Wirral with my two teenagers, and various other animals. I discovered rubber stamping about ten years ago starting as an occasional hobby, but my passion has grown over the years and I now teach and demonstrate stamping, cardmaking and mixed media full time.  I'm delighted to be joining the team at Fantasy Stampers and look forward to sharing my inky stampy creations with you.

LESLEY

Hello, my name is Lesley aka Stamping Bubbles in the blogging world. I am a forty something mother of four living in Cheshire and work in a local primary school as a higher level teaching assistant. I have been crafting all my life, starting knitting and sewing doll's clothes when I was a child. I began making cards in 1997 using machine embroidery, but discovered stamping in 2009. Now I enjoy stamping, colouring with various mediums and die cutting. I started blogging in 2013 so I could enter the many blog challenges and now am a member of the Spectrum Noir TV and the Winter Wonderland design teams. I am incredibly proud to have been asked to join the Fantasy Stampers design team.

oooOooo

So, here we go with Challenge No.44 - our theme for the next two weeks is ...

Just happens to be one of my favourite colours, so can't wait to see all your 'purple' projects!
