Featured Guest Designer for Challenge 112- Pearls and Lace

Hello and happy Friday!

 
******** 
  
Today the Fussy and Fancy girls
are happy to introduce
our very talented
Guest Designer

Norma Gomez


 
Here's a little about Norma: 
 

Hello, my name is Norma and I am a full time working mother of 3 beautiful children with completely different personalities.

 
I have a Princess and two boys that are ages 10 and 11 years.
 
I craft to relax and unwind from a days work.
(crafting is my therapy.. who knew it'd be just as expensive as real therapy..lol)
 
My crafting life started rather quickly. It was a cricut expression machine gifted in Christmas of 2011.
 
From there I started party decorating for my children.  
I loved putting things together, so naturally my craft room began to grow! (much to my husbands horror..lol.. )
 
I dabbled in cards for a bit but found my true love in altering and mixed media.
 
Currently I party plan only for my princess who is 3 and craft with no particular purpose..just for fun. =)
 
Thank you for the guest designer spot! and I hope my creation inspires you all to create for fun!
 

 

*******
 
Norma has made a Lovely altered
paper mache Dress Form
for our current, "Pearls and Lace", challenge!



 

Norma, We love that you chose to create this
lovely dress form instead of a card!
 
The, "Sweet Sentiments" Graphic 45 paper that you
very carefully wrapped around the dress form is
simply lovely!  What a pretty pastel green colour!
 
And just look at all of the pretty lace and the lovely
pearl necklace!  perfect for our challenge!
 
The fun sash and pretty hand made pink flower
add the perfect finishing touches!
 
What a beautiful mannequin display you have created!

Ivonne



Hi! My name is Ivonne and I live in
San Juan, Puerto Rico.
I am mother of an 18 year old beautiful young lady, who makes me proud every day. 
I work full time in an accounting firm as an Information Technology Specialist. 
I’ve been crafting since I was a little girl.
 I’ve done macramé, cold porcelain, scrapbooking, mosaics and a few more.
A few years ago, and thanks to my best friend Kathya, I started making cards and I loved it immediately.
 My favorite thing to do is coloring, especially with Copics, I love, love, love it, it’s my stress reliever! I am always trying to learn new techniques and to improve my coloring skills.
I can stay hours looking at what other card makers do, admiring all of your creations and learning a lot from each and every one of you.
 That’s why I can hardly wait to see what you are going to create for our new challenge.

Big hug, Ivonne 

 
The challenge Ivonne has chosen is:



Pearls and Lace
 
Here is the beautiful card
that Ivonne has created!

Craftables Dies - Eiffel Tower Die
Marianne Designs Craftables Dies - Square and Flower Stitch (Inside of the card)

 
 
Ivonne will be choosing the

I think that most of us are already
familiar with Marianne Design and

I own quite a few of their die cuts

They are really nice quality!
 
Marianne Designs is a Dutch owned craft company
based in the Netherlands.
Their products are available in 18 countries around the world! 
They produce a wide range of products which represent a complete
concept of paper crafts.
There are different lines of stamps and dies with matching papers
and materials to decorate your cards or scrapbooking pages.
Products are chosen carefully for mixing and matching
and stimulating creativity.

We are so excited to share the
very generous die cut sets

Featured Guest Designer for Challenge 111 - It's All About Travel

Hello and happy Friday!

 
******** 
  
Today the Fussy and Fancy girls
are happy to introduce
our very talented
Guest Designer

Elizabeth Hart


 
Here's a little about Elizabeth: 
 
I have been making cards and paper crafts for over 14 years.

During the day I teach AP Government and Politics to
high school students, but often I
cannot wait to get home to start creating.

I love paper most of all and cannot resist a
pretty pad of new papers.

My puppy is a Bichon and she loves to rip apart any stray papers I might leave about.
And, last but not least, I am fortunate to have a husband that helps support my fun hobby.

 

*******
 
Elizabeth has made a Lovely card
for our, "It's All About Travel", challenge
using our current sponsor
"Fresh Brewed Designs"
"Suitcase" digi


 

Elizabeth, Your
Travel themed card is so
fun and cheerful!
 
The pretty chevron design paper is
the perfect compliment for the striped
suitcase stamp!  Such pretty colours and
how special that you added a matching
chevron patterned button!
 
I love the pretty lace peeking out from
beneath your framed image.
 
The beautiful velvet ribbon topped
with the lovely
flower makes the aqua coloured stripes
on the suitcase really pop.
 
The pretty pearls, flowers and heart add the
perfect finishing touches to
such a lovely and fun card!
