Midway Motivation - Animal Antics

Welcome back to our 

 'Midway Motivation' post here at 

FANTASY STAMPERS.

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'

Many thanks, Kim.

If you are interested in joining us as a Guest Designer for our Midway Motivation posts you can 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 6th November, and I will be back with details of our next challenge the following day.

# 48 - Animal Antics

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, a big 'Thank You' to those of you that joined us for our last challenge 'Fright Night' - we had some fabulous 'spooky' entries. 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.48 - our theme for the next two weeks is ...

So, we would love to see all those lovely little animal critters on your projects - will it be a special occasion, or is it time for a Christmas card or two?

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 ...

Midway Motivation - Steampunk

Welcome back to our 

 'Midway Motivation' post here at 

FANTASY STAMPERS.

I'm back today to share a few of my own previous makes for this theme to give you a little more motivation for our current challenge - Steampunk.

I know many crafters find this a difficult theme, even my own design team admitted that they found this a tough one, but I think you will agree, they came up with some amazing projects. It is just a little fun after all, so we would love you to 'just have a go' ...

So, there is still plenty of time to join us - the current challenge will close on the 9th October, and I will be back with details of our next challenge the following day.
