Midway Motivation - My Favourite Colour

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

I am back with our Guest Designer for June today to give you a little extra motivation for our current challenge - 'My Favourite Colour'.  So, just in case you missed it last time, please welcome back Diane  ...



I am a wife and mum to three grown-up children and a little grandson.  I live in a small town in Mid-Wales and craft as a hobby and have been crafting as far back as I can remember.  I do lots of different crafts and love trying something new - my Mum taught me to knit when I was about seven and I have recently started to teach myself crochet.

I have had Fibromyalgia for over ten years which leaves me in constant pain, but my crafting helps take my mind off the pain.  Card making is my main craft and I have a craft room which I share with my husband's junk collection.  His trade is a plasterer/builder, so he often brings bits home for me that people throw out.  I enjoy recycling and a lot of my storage is second hand, free or re-used.  I often pick up found bits and pieces for my crafting, like ribbon off clothes, washers, string, packaging - I am a bit of a hoarder!

oooOooo

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



Stamps - Bunny (free magazine stamp)
Flowers (Dreamees)
(For full details pop over to Diane's blog here)


Many thanks, Diane.


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

First, a big thank you to everyone who played along last time with our 'Father's Day' challenge - we had some great 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  ... 

1st - Sally D
A stunning monochrome stamped design x

Joint 2nd - Laine
Gorgeous colour choices and design x

Joint 2nd - Aunty Sue
A great sporty themed design x


Congratulations ladies - please feel free to take a copy of our Winner's badge - just click on the 'Winner's Badge' tab at the top of the blog.

# 39 - Your Favourite Colour

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 'Father's Day' - we had some lovely entries, 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.39 - our theme for the next two weeks is ...


Fairly straight forward, but looking forward to seeing your projects - I wonder which is the most popular colour?

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 - Inkylicious 'Wild Flora'

Stamp - Little Claire 'Silhouette Boat'

Stamp - Rubber Stampede 'Lavender'

Stamp - Uniko's Pure Florals 'Gerbera'

Stamp - Woodware 'Love Tulips'

Fabulous 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 4th July.

Wishing you all lots of luck,
Big hugz, Jan xx
