Get to know Sylvia......

Hi, My name is Sylvia, I am a fun loving crafter. I have been paper crafting for a long time, but settled on cards about 6 years ago. I found The City Crafter Challenge Blog in June of 2010, entering challenge week 9. You will find it here on my blog, Sylvia's Corner.

Since that time I have played almost every challenge because I find this blog to have such fun and thought provoking photos that I just can't not play! Kirsty, Linda, Cheryl and Ros are wonderful blog friends and treat their guests every week with inspiring projects. It is an honor to be a guest designer at The City Crafter Challenge Blog.

Get to know Rebekah.....

Hi! My name is Rebekah, but everyone calls me Becks. I currently live in Northern Saskatchewan, Canada with my Mountie man and our two pets-Tahoe (a German Sheppard Husky pup) and Keiko (A Siamese kitty) I'm originally from Bermuda, so dealing with the cold of the North is a far cry from the warm sunny beaches and turquoise seas of my homeland.

I ventured into paper crafting about 3 years ago and have been hooked ever since. It all began by making cards for friends and family's birthdays and special occasions. I started my blog in April of 2009 and the rest is history. I've had such fun meeting bloggers from all over the world. I love entering challenge sites and stumbled across CCCB in May 2010. I was thrilled to be a spotlight artist in week 5 and have popped into the challenges ever since. I'm so excite to be this week's guest designer! Thanks to Kirsty and the DT for having me here this week :)

Well Good Morning!

It's Ros back with you this week for a new challenge

You all know I am a big animal lover right? So I thought it would be a great idea to incorporate an animal in our projects this week ... the four legged kind!

The DT are all using digitals from our sponsor but you can use anything just as long as it's a

"four legged friend"

I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with ... so have fun!
