# 53 - Happy Birthday

Happy New Year everyone 
and 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.

Well, as we welcome the brand new year - it's also time to celebrate our SECOND Birthday. Yes, our challenge blog has been up and running for exactly two years now, so I would like to say a huge 'thank you' once again for all your continued support. 2015 was a great year for us and our followers are still climbing, so let's hope 2016 will be just as good - we have some brand new exciting themes for you this year, so hope you can come and play along.

Just to let you know we are 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.53 - our theme for the next two weeks is ...

So, we would love you to make a 'Birthday' project to help us celebrate - the choice is yours.

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 - Happy Birthday

Welcome back to our 

 'Midway Motivation' post here at 

FANTASY STAMPERS.

I am delighted to be back for the first time this year with our midway motivation post, and have a brand new Guest Designer for you today to give you a little motivation for our current challenge.  So, without further ado, let me introduce you to Diane ...

craftycreationswithbarbiedi.blogspot.co.uk

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 'Happy Birthday' ...

'Clarity' stamp - large Blue Tit

and 'Dreamees' flowers.

Many thanks, Diane.

So, there is still plenty of time to join us - the current challenge will close on the 16th January, and I will be back with details of our next challenge the following day.

Hugz, Jan xx
