Tracey of Crafty Corner





Hello, my name is Tracey. Ever since I was a little girl I have loved making things & this has continued as I’ve grown up (well got older I’m not that tall lol). I enjoy all crafts although I don’t have enough time to do all I would like to: my favorites at the moment are sewing & jewelery making – after paper crafting of course that is my first love! If I didn’t have to work & had enough time I would love to make lots of different things & have a stall at a craft fair (perhaps if I start now I might be ready for 2014 lol).

Thanks to Christmas Stampin’ All Year round for asking me to be a guest designer it has been great fun & it can never be too early to start your Christmas crafting!

Carmen of Beyond the Fringe Crafts




Hello, my name is Carmen. My earliest memory of scrapbooking goes back to before it was considered a craft. I had a photo album to which I added cartoon cut-outs, Chinese money bags, four leaf clovers and whatever else appealed to me at the time. Officially, I have been scrapbooking about 7 years, with a more recent focus on card making. I’ve always been a creative person who loves to sew, make soap and play classical guitar. I write short stories, poems and non-fiction articles as well, and I love to read!

This experience involved a few firsts for me, as it was my first time being a guest designer, my first time using digital stamps, and my first time using alcohol ink markers. I really enjoyed the process of putting this together, and I hope you like the card I designed! It was created with my son in mind, who just bought a new home. The sentiment reads, Congratulations on your new ‘pad.’

Thanks so much for the opportunity to participate!

Carmen

Diane of Diane's Favourite Cards



Hello everyone… my name is Diane and I live in England with my gorgeous husband and my lovely children, Sarah who’s 16 years old and Benjamin who’s 13 years old.

I’m so pleased to be invited to be this week’s Guest Designer and have really enjoyed making my card for this weeks challenge. It’s a good feeling to have made another Christmas card ready for later on this year, I wont have to panic in November as I’m making my cards throughout the year – thanks CSAYL !!!

I started making cards and scrapbooking way back in 1999 and I absolutely love my crafting hobby. My favourite technique is decoupage using either stamped or digi images; making cards using this technique is just so relaxing . I became part of blogland just over 2 years ago when I created my blog and soon became addicted to entering challenges.

Thanks very much for the opportunity to join in this weeks challenge.
