# 20 - Here Come the Girls

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 huge 'Thank You' to those of you who joined us last time for our 'Autumn Colours' challenge - we had some fab entries. Please don't forget to pop back tomorrow to check out our 'Winner's Post'.

Just to let you know we are still looking 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.20 - our theme for the next two weeks is ...


So, out with the pink or anything else that you deem 'girlie' - we would love to see all your feminine projects. 

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 ...

Stamp - LOTV 'Birthday Fairy'

Stamp - IndigiBlu

Stamp - Stamping Bella 'Uptown Girl Maybelline'

Stamp - Kaisercraft 'Teddy Bears Picnic'

Stamp - LOTV 

Fantastic work from the DT - thank you ladies.

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 11th October.

Wishing you all lots of luck,

Midway Motivation - Autumn Colours

Welcome back to our brand new
 'Midway Motivation' post here at 
FANTASY STAMPERS.

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




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

Here's Leslie's fab project for our current challenge 'Autumn Colours' ...


Stamp - Gina K Designs

Many thanks, Leslie.


So, there is still plenty of time to join us - the current challenge will close on the 26th September, and I will be back with details of our next challenge on 27th September.
