Play Date~Style!"

Big News!

If you enjoy:

Playing with color & being an

inspiration to others, then we encourage you

to apply...check back on Friday for ALL the details.

We are super excited to share another brand new

sponsor all the way from the UK...

Elusive Images is a rubber stamp company with a wide range of designs and styles. Founded in the UK by Glenda Waterworth over 10 years ago, EI prides itself on both the design and manufacture of its rubber stamps, together with the Artylicious range of CDs.  From original hand drawn images to final product every care is taken along the way to sustain the company’s reputation for good quality.  Elusive Images are recognised for being innovative and, together with a creative design team, remain at the forefront of the UK’s stamping fraternity.  Their products are available online from Graphicus and many other retail outlets.

We are also very honored to have the owner of

Elusive Images as this week's Guest Designer.

We welcome Glenda Waterworth. 

 

"My name is Glenda Waterworth and I own Elusive Images.  I have been in love with colour and creativity as long as I can remember and enjoy sharing this passion with others.  I believe that we all have a creative being inside, we just need to explore our capabilities and encourage the ‘inner artist’.  I have explored my own artistry during the last ten years by teaching stamping and crafting around the UK, appearing on British craft television and writing for several magazines.  I think you would describe my explorations as messy – and I am certainly not on the neat list of crafters.  But to me that is all part of the journey, by playing and experimenting we can truly discover and grow.  So next time you want to put lime green paint with purple ink and orange embossing powder, listen to your ‘inner’ voice – you might be pleasantly surprised by the results!"

 Now look what you could win....

 and...
