Our regular 'Cup of the Week' Winner
will be announced at the end of this post
as usual.
It's time to get back to basics with
another fantastic color challenge for you!
Let's hear from Senior Designer Ruby 2 Shoes
who is your host for this week...
"I came across this gorgeous photo on
Julie Ebersole's blog and she very kindly said I
could use it for my colour story.
As soon as I saw it, I smiled.
It's just so cheerful and inviting.
I'm sure it's no secret that I love my bright colours,
and this is just fab!
Hope you enjoy using them as much as I did with
my quirky little character!"
This week's guest designer is the super-talented
Maria Gurnsey...
"I started paper crafting as a scrapbooker and
purposely avoided stamps
because I didn’t want to fund another hobby.
Who knew paper could get so expensive.
Eventually I caved and now my craft room is filled with stamps.
I love combining scrapbooking and stamping but I spend most
of my time making cards.
They are little pieces of art that I love sharing.
I currently design for {ippity} by Unity stamps
and Rubbernecker. I’m also an {ippity} chick and sell the stamps on my{Sales Blog}http://salesbym.blogspot.com
I’m most proud of the
Gurnsey Gingham stamp that was named after me.
I’m a gingham fanatic…hence the name of my blog
{Gingham and Polka Dots} http://scrapsbym.blogspot.com
I have been published in Paper Crafts magazine and love the
friends that I have made online through this hobby.
Challenge blogs are one of my favorite ways to get my
mojo flowing and
The Play Date Café
is one of my favorites.
Thank you to all the designers for letting me
play along this week."
How fun to also have Maria as this week's sponsor!
and how very cool that you have an opportunity
to win her 'namesake' image along with another
amazing set of stamps from Ippity,
a prize package worth $30!!!
