City Crafter Challenge Blog Week 170 ~ Summer time!

Hello crafters, Wendy here for a summer challenge!

If you think about summer, what comes to your mind? Ice-cream? Beach? Flipflops? Vacation? Colourful flowers or fruit? Today I'm asking you to make a card or project that is all about enjoying the summer. There are so many things that say Summer Time, I leave it totally up to you.

Can't wait to see what you come up with! Happy crafting wishes to you!

Rina Meyers

My name is Rina and I have been crafting all my life, but have gotten very serious in the past 2 years. I am a pet salon owner/groomer for my real job but do quite well selling my crafts as well. I usually wake up at 5 am and craft til 11 when I get ready and go to work. I get home by 5pm and between cooking and my household duties, I am usually able to craft another 3 hours in the evening! Its awesome! I have reciently discovered a talent and LOVE for mini albums also! I am 3 Magnolia DTs as well as 2 other DT's and my dream is to get onto a large craft store DT

Here is the wonderful project of Rina

Please stop by Rina's blog and leave her some love

Please meet.....

Ira Huberts

I’m a working girl who has her own wholesale company (Bavarian garments, lederhosen, dirndl dresses etc.) together

with my wonderful husband. We’ve been together for more than 25 years and he’s my best friend.

I was introduced to paper crafting ages ago when I was still a child; over the years I’ve ventured into lots of

different craft hobbies (knitting, embroidery, paper crafting). I don’t think I have a specific style, I’m pretty eclectic

in my tastes, always love to create something different, although my preferences lie with vintage and I just love to alter

things or do 3D projects. Fabulous papers can really make me happy, not just scrapbooking papers, stationary and beautiful

envelopes, too! Other than paper crafting I enjoy reading, cooking, gardening and teasing my DH J

Here is Ira's WONDERFUL project!!!!

Ira has the most outstanding projects over at her blog, you will be stunned by her beautiful work, hop over now!

City Crafter Challenge Blog Week 168 ~ Dress it Up!

Hello everyone...

It's Ros with you this week for another fun challenge ..

I love to take something ordinary and dress it up - I hoard just about everything!

 So this week I am asking that you take any item e.g. tin, book, box, jar ... whatever is to hand and 

"Dress It up"

I'm really looking forward to seeing your creativity this week ... So please come and join us!

Guest Designer

Please meet.....

Linda Breedlove

I’m so happy to be back again as a guest designer at CCCB. I love City Crafters and these sweet and talented ladies who come up with interesting challenges every week.

    I'm a retired graphic designer who has worked in the craft and hobby industry for my entire life, growing up in a family owned business. My husband, aka The Penmaker, and I love working on our crafts. We are always on the lookout for a new scrapbook or woodworking shop, and will drive as far as it takes to get to one. My first love is card making, but I’ll try nearly any paper crafting project... layouts, art journaling, mini albums and altered items. We have four grown children, who are now all married, and seven grandchildren with number eight on the way. We are so blessed.

...................

If you were here for the last 2 weeks, you'll know that Linda is our special guest star for 3 challenges, we were amazed by her beautiful work the first 2 and this one is no exception, just look!!!!

want to know how Linda transformed an ordinary cereal box into this beauty? Hop over to Linda's blog
