We would like to thank Lisa Davis for being our guest designer for September, it was a pleasure having her. 

Our guest designer for October is Anne Swinkels





I'm invited to be Stampotique guestdesigner for October. I like to introduce myself a little.
My name is Anne Swinkels. I live in the Netherlands and I am married to 
Harrie. I work as a district nurse for many years and am retiring by the end of November. 
I stamp for over 15 years now and I have gathered quit an extensive stamp collection, including a lot of Stampotique stamps. I love them, for use in cards as in mixed media projects as well.
I have a wonderful group of stampfriends called 'the Crazy Amigo’s'. We come together to stamp on regular base. I give workshops too and love to do that!
I was Stampotique guestdesigner before, in September 2012. I'm thrilled to be invited once more to be guestdesigner!
