Our challenge for the next fortnight is

The challenge Vannessa has chosen is:

SUMMERTIME!
 
Hello everyone and Happy Friday! I love Fridays, don't you?

I'm Vannessa and I live in Peterborough, about 80 miles north of London. During the week, I am a primary school teacher in a very energetic class of 8-9 year olds; on the weekends, I am an avid crafter and card maker. I have been Cardmaking about 7 years now and think I have finally found my creative outlet!

I'm not very artistic - I cannot draw or paint to save my life, but I love to stick bits of paper, ribbon and flowers together with a sweet picture. I love my Copics and my die cuts and I can not make a card without any kind of ribbon. More often than not you'll find any shade of pink on my cards too, but I stepped away from it for today's card and went with some beautiful pastels instead.


Here is the very sweet and adorable, "Summertime"
card that Vannessa has created.

Featured Guest Designer for Challenge 116 - Things with Wings!

Hello and happy Friday!

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

Amelia B


Here's a little about Amelia: 

Hello!  I am so delighted to be guest designer for the
Fussy and Fancy challenge blog! It is such an honor.

I am a librarian at a large residential university in
South Africa, but when I am at home I keep myself busy with card making.

I have been stamping for about 15 years now.
I started my blog, "Stamped for the Occasion", in February 2010.

My style has developed over time, seeing all the beautiful cards
from so many talented card makers.
I would describe my style as a mixture of shabby, vintage and cute elements.

Thank you for asking me to join the Fussy and Fancy Design Team
as a featured guest designer.

 

*******

 
Amelia has made a 
shabby chic card
for our current, "Things with Wings" challenge!

 
 
Isn't her card stunning?
Just look at the beautiful peach designer paper
and the lovely white die cut fence she used to
create a background for her cherub.
Amelia has such an eye for detail as she
layers lace, lovely flowers and bows.
I love the soft pretty banner with the butterflies
and looped twine!
Your card is absolutely beautiful Amelia!

Amelia's blog

Our challenge for the next fortnight is
being hosted by our very own
Norma


Hello, my name is Norma and when it comes to card-making I am definitely a

Fussy and Fancy kind of gal.  I simply love adding embellishments to my cards. 

 

The hardest type of cards for me to create is actually when I have to make CAS (clean and simple) cards and have to restrain myself from embellishing...tee hee

.

My cards tend to feature cute images (rubberstamps or digis) that I like to colour with my alcohol-ink markers and/or coloured pencils.  My favorite embellishments are flowers, pearls and swirls/flourishes. The flowers on my card are handmade.  I'm a die-and-punch addict, so I feel guilty if I don't make my own flowers as I've spent way too much money (gulp) on those dies and punches.  I also love doing fancy fold cards.

  
The challenge Norma has chosen is:
 
Things with Wings
 


Here is the gorgeous, "Things with Wings"
card that Norma has created for her challenge.



using Marianne Design Creatables 

- Designer Doily LR0130

- Leaves LR0156

- Swirls LR 0116
