This week Coby vanWilligenburg is our hostess and she is challenging us to "Show her a Tag"

Here is what Coby says about this challenge:

"I do love tags but I use them too often. So please show me a tag on your project."

 Our guest designer for the month of October is the very talented Kate Crane, Kate started designing stamps for Stampotique back in February of this year, you can see them HERE

Kate lives in the north of England with her husband, two children, several small animals and a dog! In real life she is a school teacher, but in her free time she loves to play with paint, inks, rubber stamps and anything else she can get her hands on! She has been creative all of her life but a passing interest in cardmaking and scrapbooking led her into mixed media art and eventually art journaling. She has been on several design teams, including Stampotique (USA) and Dylusions for Ranger, and now has her own range of stamps for Stampotique Originals. She has contributed to Craft Stamper magazine (UK) and has also been published in several Stampington magazines including Somerset Art Journaling, Artful Blogging, Somerset Studio, Stampers Sampler, and Somerset Apprentice. Kate has made six DVDs on the subject of Art Journaling which were published by Traplet (UK) but have sold internationally. She has a passion for teaching and sharing her ideas and techniques, and holds regular classes in various locations. She also teaches on-line classes. She also loves social networking and blogging, and sees this as a great way to inspire and to be inspired. She describes her style as colourful, quirky, honest and a little off the wall!

SDC212: Use only 2 stamps

Nellie is our hostess this week and she is asking us to "Use only two stamps" Here is what Nellie says about this challenge:

I tend to use a lot of stamps when I create something. Thought I might challenge myself and all of you by limiting the number of stamps. So no more than two stamps please!

Our Guest Designer for the month of September is the fantastic Anni Lerchi

Hello, I am Anni and I’m from Germany. For 15 years now I´ve lived in the beautiful city Berlin and I am married. I work as a math-teacher at a vocational college; to perform handicraft work is a perfect compensation for that.

Into stamping I am since 2008, I love clean and simple cards, and yet eventually my cards often turn out to be somewhat more complex. I love the soothing of paper piecing and resist techniques. You can see all my projects at www.anikarten.blogspot.com
