Week 102 ~ Spring Fling Color Challenge

Guest Designer

Get to know Sheila....

Hi! I am a mom, a wife, a teacher, a crafter, a reader, and a pinner (in that order, I think!) I am fairly new to the world of blogging and online scrapping challenges and such, but I love every minute of it! I am inspired by almost everything I see---colors, patterns, and clothing. In addition to scrapbooking, I enjoy sewing, using my glue gun on anything that doesn’t move, and making flowers. What an honor to be asked to be a guest designer on the City Crafter Challenge Blog! I ADORE online challenges! Thanks Kirsty!

City Crafter Challenge Blog Week#100 - Things in my heart.....

Hello all, Kirsty back here to host this week's challenge

Things in my heart.....

We want you to create a project that focus on the things in your heart right now, for example, you are missing your child/children, grandchild/grandchildren, you can make a layout with their photos, or a mini album. Or if you are into mixed media art, you can showcase your art, or you are so into gardening for Spring, you can do a Spring inspired project etc, so it is pretty much what you are in love with right now, we do want you to write a few sentences on your post to tell a little about the things in your heart. So go get crafty.......

Week 100 ~ Things in my ♥

Guest Designer

Get to know Sabrina.....

“I currently live in Victoria, BC, and as far back as I can remember, I have always loved to create, and come up with ideas. I know at times I must have driven a few of my loved ones a little crazy with it all, but you know what, all that creativity is almost like breathing to me. And with 5 children and 6 grandchildren there are many ways to use my creativity.

Over the years I have enjoyed a variety of creative hobbies, and since 2009 cardmaking and scrapbooking are my main creative outlet. I just love this addiction! In 2010, while living in Calgary, Alberta, I had the opportunity to teach papercrafting for Scrapbooker’s Paradise, and now, here in Victoria, BC, I have just recently been asked to teach classes at Scrapbook Parade! I love it!

I enjoy entering challenges when I can, and am currently on the DT for the Colour Create Challenge blog, and love working with the ladies on the team there. I have also had the oportunity here and there to be a guest designer for a few other blogs, and when Kristy approached me to be a guest designer for City Crafter Challenge Blog, I was honoured and tickled pink. Since moving from Calgary to Victoria a little over a year ago, the thing closest to my heart right now, is my oldest daughter and her family who live there. I miss them a whole lot, and decided to create a scrapbook page using their Christmas photo card for this challenge. Hope you have as much fun with this challenge as I did. Happy crafting everyone!"

City Crafter Challenge Blog Week#99 - Seeing Double

Hi there!

It's Ros with you this week with a brand new challenge...

Are you ready to get out your punches and Dies?

I hope so because this week the Challenge I have set for you is

To use both the Positive and Negative of a Die or Punch

In case you are wondering ...

The Positive is the shape you cut out with the Die or Punch

The Negative is the shaped "hole" it leaves in your paper or card stock

I'm looking forward to seeing where your creativity takes you ... Just play and have fun!

~ Ros Crawford

Get to know Linda.....

My name is Linda. I live on Long Island with my husband of 23 years and our two teenage children. By day, I am a public relations consultant. By night I am a scrapbooker who loves to make cards. Or, am I a cardmaker who loves to scrapbook? I'm not really sure which it is but if it involves patterned paper, stamps, ink, adhesive and a couple of punches, I am happy! Thankfully my husband is very understanding of the fact that my stash has taken over two closets and is still growing. In addition to paper crafting, I love to travel, bake, read (especially on my Kindle Fire) and bike in my local park when the weather is nice. I am so honored to be guest designing here at the City Crafter Challenge Blog. I have to admit that this challenge took me out of my comfort zone, a bit. I often use positives and negatives but not usually on the same project. So, kudos to you, Ros, for coming up with a great challenge. Thanks for inviting me to play along!
