GUEST DESIGNER - JAINE - TEXTURE

OUR GUEST DESIGNER THIS WEEK IS JAINE - SHE HAS CHOSEN TEXTURE AS HER CHALLENGE FOR US THIS WEEK. HERE ARE JAINE'S EXAMPLES

HERE'S A LITTLE BIT ABOUT JAINE:

I spend most of my time surrounded by bits of paper, ink and glue. Whether its cutting or sticking with children or trying out the latest techniques with friends, I like nothing more than to pass a few hours with stamps and inks. I'm also a bit of a tool junkie. My ideal job would be a tester of all new tools and products that come on the market - I'd work for free!

CHRISTMAS INCHY SWAP

ROLL UP ROLL UP FOR OUR CHRISTMAS INCHY CHALLENGE SWAP

WE WILL MAKE 9 INCHIES

SIGN UP BY 21ST NOVEMBER

INCHIES TO BE WITH ME BY 1ST DECEMBER

IF YOU'RE IN THE UK PLEASE INCLUDE AN SAE

IF YOU'RE OVERSEAS, PLEASE JUST ADD A FEW LITTLE EXTRAS AND I WILL COVER THE POST

FIREWORKS

5th of November in the UK is known as Bonfire Night - where for some reason we still celebrate Guy Fawkes trying to blow up the Houses of Parliament in 1605. How long we will be able to continue with Bonfire Night in this era of Health and Safety we can only guess.

But for this week only you can let your imagination rip with some fireworks as this is our theme this week. I've done a Catherine Wheel - one of my favourite fireworks and it doesn't frighten the life out of my dog like the rockets do! Apparently though the firework was named after an intrument of torture, the breaking wheel, on which, legend has it, St Catherine was martyred. Hmm, doesn't sound so nice now does it!

Have Fun and have a safe 5th November.

BOO SAMPLER!

GUEST DESIGNER - ALI - TIME

A big welcome to our Guest Designer this week - Ali Manning. Her theme this week is Time and here are her inchies:

Here's what Ali says:

I’m a Brit living in the USA with my husband, daughter and a house full of pets. I bought my first copy of Somerset Studio in 2004 and have been hooked on mixed media, stamping and card making ever since. I’m new to inchies but am finding them totally addictive. When I’m not messing around in my studio, I post things on my blogs – Art Ali and New England Stamper. And on Gingersnap Creations, a blog I co-founded with my good friend Sharon early this year.

If you'd like to be a Guest Designer - just drop me an email.

SOME INFORMATION ABOUT KAREN:

Hi everyone! My name is Karen aka MissyK! I started out making cards a few years ago, then fell into ATC’s, Inchies and Twinchies. I find it very relaxing to play with my scissors and glue stick and ‘stuff’….. I’ve enjoyed making lots of friends in Blogland and my hobby brings me happiness every day!I am excited to be the Guest Designer this week and I have chosen the theme of TREES. I do hope lots of you join in - I’ve made extra of mine, so if you’d like one I’d be really happy to send you one, wherever you live if you contact me.

INCHY CIRCLES

Something slightly different for our challenge this week - especially as its 40 years since man landed on the moon - so I thought we'd do circles this week - and I've added to the challenge by making mine from circles.

The choice is yours - square or circles but they must contain a circle.

Have fun!

GUEST DESIGNER - JOANNE WARDLE TEXT

I'M SO PLEASED TO WELCOME JOANNE WARDLE AS OUR GUEST DESIGNER THIS WEEK - I'M SURE YOU ALL KNOW AND LOVE JOANNE'S WORK - HERE'S A LITTLE BIT ABOUT HER AND HER BLOG:


I've always been a bit of a crafter, but have never thought of myself as artistic. I started cardmaking about 6 years ago, and soon fell into stamping. I like to try lots of different styles, from vintage to cute. I love to make small fiddly things. On inchies I like to find the focus of a larger image and make a feature of it rather than start with small stamps. I love blogging and challenges and have made loads of online friends this way. My blog is a mish-mash of all sorts of crafts as I still love to knit,crochet and sew and try my hand at anything on offer.
