Midway Motivation - Easter Time

Welcome back to our 

 'Midway Motivation' post here at 

FANTASY STAMPERS.

I have another brand new Guest Designer for you today to give you a little motivation for our current challenge - Easter Time.  So, please give a big warm welcome to Hannah ...

Hi, I have always been creative - I am a paper crafter at heart, although I also paint, knit and crochet (I cannot sew, and am terrified of the sewing machine - although I really would like one!)

I started paper crafting a few years ago after finding a crafting TV channel and fell in love with scrapbooking. After making a scrapbook album for my mum one Christmas I had a heap of scraps left over and turned to cardmaking to get them used - cue finding yet another craft! I started to make all our Birthday and Christmas cards, and last year made all our Wedding stationery.

I joined Stampin' Up as a demonstrator in June last year, and blog at least four times a week. I also hold craft classes from my home in Teeside several times a month, as well as teaching card-making to ladies with dementia in the care home where I work.

oooOooo

Here's Hannah's beautiful project for our current 'Easter' challenge ...

Stamp - Stampin' Up 

Many thanks, Hannah.

So, there is still plenty of time to join us - the current challenge will close on the 10th April, and I will be back with details of our next challenge the following day.

Hugz, Jan xx

# 33 - Easter Time

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 Spring is in the Air' - we had some gorgeous entries once again, but just a reminder 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.33 - our theme for the next two weeks is ...

So, we would love to see your Easter themed designs - will it be bunnies, eggs, flowers, or something religious - it's up to you.

# 8 - Easter Photo Inspiration

Welcome back to the 

'Fantasy Stampers Challenge'.

Wow! I can't believe we are 14 weeks old today - how time flies. During that time we have gained some fabulous support and played seven challenges and seen some amazing projects submitted. We have had 20 winners (some challenges had a 'Top 4' because it was so hard to choose just three from the beautiful artwork that is entered). So, sending out a big 'Thank You' to everyone who is playing along - it's great to have you on board. 

Now, onto our fabulous Top 3 winners for our last challenge 'Silhouettes'. Once again, there was some amazing entries. Here's who the Design Team chose for their winners ...
