Midway Motivation - At the Beach

Welcome back to our 

 'Midway Motivation' post here at 

FANTASY STAMPERS.

I'm back today with our Guest Designer for the month of August to give you a little motivation for our current challenge - 'At the Beach'.  So, if you missed it last time, here's a bit about Tammy ...

http://mycraftcentral.blogspot.co.uk/

Hi, my name is Tammy and I live in Colorado with my wonderful husband and our two fur-babies! I've always had some kind of crafty thing going on in my life. But, when I started to make cards I knew it was the perfect craft for me because I love to colour and create with paper. I think the best way to describe my style would be ... bold colouring with mostly 'cute' images and I love my die cuts!

I'm very excited to join Jan and the entire team this month as a Guest Designer! Thank You!

oooOooo

Here's Tammy's amazing project for our current challenge 'At the Beach' ...

Stamp - Newton's Nook

Midway Motivation - Clean & Simple

Welcome back to our 

 'Midway Motivation' post here at 

FANTASY STAMPERS.

I am back again today with our Guest Designer for the month of July to give you a little extra motivation for our current 'Clean & Simple' challenge. So, in case you missed it last time, here's a bit about Leslie ...

http://leslieturner58.blogspot.co.uk/

My name is Leslie, I'm married with two grown children and one granddaughter, and I live in north Florida. I began scrapbooking about 40 years ago, way back when scrapbooks were really bland - before all the fun papers and embellishments came about. For the last 20 years or so, my paper passion has been card making. I started out making computer-generated cards, graduated to card kits, then quickly realized that having my own stash of stuff was the way to go! The rest is history, as they say! I'm addicted to rubber stamping and also enjoy making 3-D paper projects, especially paper shoes and mini albums, and have been known to alter a few tins and boxes. Thanks to my sister, I also started beading and making jewelry about a year or so ago.

oooOooo

Here's Leslie's fabulous project for our current challenge ...

Stamps - Paper Smooches 'Simply Said'

and Great Impressions 'Lace Background'

(For full details pop over to Leslie's blog here)

Many thanks, Leslie.

If you are interested in joining us as a Guest Designer for our Midway Motivation posts in the future, simply add GDT after your entry on our current challenge, or contact me by e-mail HERE.

So, there is still plenty of time to join us - the current challenge will close on the 29th July, and I will be back with details of our next challenge the following day.

Midway Motivation - All About the Girl

Welcome back to our 

 'Midway Motivation' post here at 

FANTASY STAMPERS.

I am back today with our Guest Designer for the month of May to give you a little motivation for our current challenge - 'All About the Girl'.  So, just in case you missed it last time, here's a bit about Kathryn ...

http://kitchentablecrafter.blogspot.co.uk/

Hi, I am a returning concept designer to papercrafts, having taken a break of about five years right after my second son was born. I ran a very busy Etsy shop, Aspen Arts Studio, for a number of years as well. These days I keep very busy with homeschool, managing an urban homestead garden, quilting, crafting and writing. Before I became a mom, I was a concert pianist and teacher with plans towards a music theory professorship and/or advanced English degrees. Life took its turns, however, and I am truly happy now as a homeschool and work at home mom, enjoying the irretrievable time with my boys. Academia can wait, but childhood simply cannot. I love trees, mountains, fresh-baked bread, strawberries, historic places, fabric, farms, world music and a clean house with the windows open.

oooOooo

Here's Kathryn's fab project for our current challenge 'All About the Girl' ...

Stamp - 100 Proof Press

Many thanks, Kathryn.

So, there is still plenty of time to join us - the current challenge will close on the 3rd June, and I will be back with details of our next challenge the following day.

Midway Motivation - A New Baby

Welcome back to our 

 'Midway Motivation' post here at 

FANTASY STAMPERS.

I am back today with our Guest Designer for the month of April to give you a little motivation for our current challenge - 'A New Baby'.  So, in case you missed it last time, here's a little bit about Pearl ...

http://dillydalley1.blogspot.co.uk/

Hi, my name is Pearl Dalley and I am married with four children and four grandchildren. I have been crafting all my life, I started when my mum taught me to knit and crochet. I progressed to card making and cake design about twelve years ago, but it is my card design that has become a passion, I would even say an addiction! I craft every day and sometimes all day, it is my stress buster as I have a very stressful job as a nurse. I love to stamp and have recently become a fan of the new Clarity Groovi system which I try to mix with my stamping. Trying new techniques is fun and I attend a monthly Clarity class with the very talented Maria Simms - you never stop learning and I find it an achievement when I finally get it right.

oooOooo

Here's Pearl's beautiful project for our current challenge 'A New Baby' ...

Many thanks, Pearl.

So, there is still plenty of time to join us - the current challenge will close on the 22nd April, and I will be back with details of our next challenge the following day.

Midway Motivation - Animal Antics

Welcome back to our 

 'Midway Motivation' post here at

I'm back today with our Guest Designer for the month of October to give you a little motivation for our current challenge - 'Animal Antics'.  So, please say hello to Kim - if you missed it last time, here's a little bit about her ...

http://kimcreate.blogspot.co.uk/

I am a paper crafter who came upon card making quite by accident. I bought a Cricut in 2009 thinking I would do some scrap booking. I quickly found that card making was more to my liking, so I jumped in with both feet! Stamping actually came later for me, but not I'm addicted. I love my Copics, pretty patterned paper and more recently water colouring. I love to share my cards with family and friends. When not crafting, I'm spending time with family, especially my Grandson, who is a constant joy. 

oooOooo

Here's Kim's gorgeous project for our current challenge ...

Stamps - Lawn Fawn 'Party Animals'' and 'Bannerific'
