Midway Motivation - Pretty Petals

Welcome back to our 

 'Midway Motivation' post here at 

FANTASY STAMPERS.

I am back with our Guest Designer for the month of July today to give you a little extra motivation for our current 'Pretty Petals' challenge. So please say hello to Leslie - here's a bit about her in case you missed it last time  ...

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. 

A huge thanks to Jan and the Fantasy Stampers crew for having me on board for the month of July. Looking forward to getting inky fingers with all of them! ;)

oooOooo

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

And the inside ...

Stamps - Stampin' Up 'Painted Petals'

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

Many thanks, Leslie.

So, there is still plenty of time to join us - the current challenge will close on the 31st July, and I will be back with details of our next challenge the following day.

Hugz, Jan xx

Winners - Spots and Stripes

Welcome to the 'Winner's Post' here at the 'Fantasy Stampers Challenge'.

First, a thank you to everyone who played along last time with our 'Spots & Stripes' challenge - we had some fab entries, but PLEASE remember that we are a stamping challenge, so digital entries are not eligible for our Top 3 spot - it's a real shame that we have to exclude some entries from our vote. 

So, here's who the Design Team chose for our Top 3  ... 

Joint 1st - Kuni

A really pretty feminine design x

Joint 1st - Nick

Such a cute spotty dinosaur x

2nd - Bonnie Garby

A gorgeous monochrome layout x

Congratulations ladies - please feel free to take a copy of our Winner's badge -

I will be back on the 2nd August with the next set of winners.

# 41 - Pretty Petals

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 'Spots & Stripes' - we didn't have many entries this time, 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'.

Just to let you know we are also always on the lookout for Guest Designers to join us for our 'Midway Motivation' posts on the alternate Saturdays to the challenge.  This opportunity will require you to make two projects on two different themes and would give you the chance to experience being on a design team, without all the extra commitment.  If you are interested in being a 'Guest Designer' please add GDT after your entry below.

oooOooo

So, here we go with Challenge No.41 - our theme for the next two weeks is ...

I hope this one will be more popular - if you are anything like me, I have to put flowers on nearly everything I make!

BUT please remember, we are a stamping challenge so your project MUST include stamping and please state clearly which stamp/stamps you used in your blog post (no digital images please). 

Here's what the Design Team made for your inspiration ...

JAN

Stamp - LOTV 'Sunflowers'

JACKIE

Stamp - Creative Expressions 'Zentangle Blossom'

Clarity 'Thank You' sentiment

JULIE

Stamp - STAMPlorations 'Blooming Buds'

Beautiful work from the DT once again 

- thank you ladies.

And 'Thank You' to those of you leaving comments

about our DT projects - they are much appreciated.

Now it's over to you - to submit your entry just click on the little blue button below and remember to link your entry back to our blog. We will be around to visit your blogs over the next fortnight and I will be back with details of our next challenge on the 1st August.

Wishing you all lots of luck,

Big hugz, Jan xx
