Midway Motivation - Hearts & Flowers

Welcome back to our 

 'Midway Motivation' post here at 

FANTASY STAMPERS.

I am thrilled to announce that we have our second Guest Designer with us today, who will be joining us for our 'Midway Motivation' during the month of September. So let me let me introduce 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. 

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

oooOooo

We have only had a few entries so far for our 'Hearts & Flowers' challenge, but here is a gorgeous project from Leslie for a little inspiration ...

A beautiful monochromatic anniversary card

using 'Romantic Stroll' stamp by Deep Red.

Many thanks, Leslie.

So, there is still plenty of time to join us - the current challenge will close on the 12th September, and I will be back with details of our next challenge on 13th September.

Midway Motivation - By the Sea

Welcome back to our brand new

 'Midway Motivation' post here at 

FANTASY STAMPERS.

I am back today with our first Guest Designer, Helen to give you a little motivation for our current challenge.  In case you missed it last time, here's a little bit about her ...

http://craftinghelen.blogspot.com/

I've been a card maker for many years and particularly enjoy stamping. I'm lucky enough to be part of the design team for Little Claire, Pink Gem, Nutcrafters and Card Creations Plus, as well as several challenge blogs. For the past two years I've worked for Abbeyfield, which is a charity providing care for older people. I'm an Activities Co-ordinator covering a care home and two sheltered houses.

oooOooo

Here's Helen's beautiful project for our current challenge 'By the Sea' ...

 'Little Claire' stamp - Silhouette Lighthouse

Many thanks, Helen.

So, there is still plenty of time to join us - the current challenge will close on the 29th August, and I will be back with details of our next challenge on 30th August.
