Frilly inclinations!

Hello everyone! Its my turn to introduce myself as part of the Frilly side of the DT. I'm still pinching myself that I was invited to join such a fabulous team and can't wait to get started on this new craft journey. I hope to meet some blogging friends along the way !

So, a little about me, my name is Sue and I live in the UK and have been crafting in some style or other for as long as I can remember. I absolutely adore inks and paints and rubber stamps, and well everything that I can get really messy with ! My style, I guess, is a shabby, vintage, distressed kind of style, though I always find it hard to put myself in a particular category. I'll leave it up to you to decide ! I've been on several DT's, currently they are The Stamp Man, Fashionable Stamping Challenge and Katzelkraft. Prior to these I was on I Love ProMarkers, Passion for ProMarkers, ABC challenge, Isabella's Sketchbook, and have had guest spots on several more. To give you a flavour of my work the card I'm sharing is quite recent, and was made for a very special friend.

If you want to check out more of my work, and of course leave a comment to be in with a chance of winning the $25 prize to spend in Linda's fabulous Funkie Junkie Boutique, you can find me here.

Funkie and Happy!

Hello, I am Terry and part of the Funkie design team for the new "Frilly and Funkie" challenge blog!  I am thrilled to be part of this new and exciting adventure and I am so looking forward to getting to know all of you Frilly and Funkie bloggers!

I am going to keep my introduction short as you will get to know more about me and my art during the F&F challenges, which will be a blast.  Honestly, I don't know my style, so I would have to say that I am eclectic at best!  There is no doubt that I am drawn to the more grungy and funky side and try whenever possible to add a little humorous twist!  In 2007, I was invited to a Stampin Up workshop and it was "OK" and then I went to a stamping convention months later!  Well I saw Mr. Tim Holtz in action and realized there is so much more to this "inking Madness" and the rest is history!  You can visit my blog to have a closer look at who I am!

Remember to visit all of the Frilly and Funkie design team blogs during this reveal and leave a comment for a chance to win a $25.00 gift certificate to Linda's Zibbet shop!

My Creative Journey

Hello frilly and funkie friends....I am Teresa Kline from Paperie Blooms; my creative journey is expanding  and I super excited to share it with you!  I am so looking forward to our new challenges and learning all kinds of new things from the DT and you.  I have been creating cards for five years, I started after a Stampin Up party and it has exploded from there.  I have been on numerous design teams in the past; Sweet and Sassy, Stampers Dream.  I have held guest spots for Our Daily Bread, My Time Made Easy, and Layers of Color.  I am currently on the Verve and Lil' Inker design teams and I am a SCS Dirty Dozen alumni.  I am on several challenge teams Mojo Monday Sketch, Waltzingmouse Sketch, CASE Study and now Frilly & Funkie.  I have also guested for lots of challenge teams as well; The Color Throwdown, Just Us Girls(twice), Shabby Tea Room, Friday MashUP, Stampin Sisters in Christ, and For Your Inspiration to name a few.  So from the list you can see I luv to stamp and create!  I like sending my cards to people in our church, friends, neighbors, anyone who needs encouraging; I also donate lots of cards.
As far as style, I do not like to "label" myself...lol...I truly luv all styles of creating!  But, I have been told that I tend to be on the shabby/chic style.  I adore, stitching, distressing, button, bows, lace, and frills....so I guess you could say I am a frilly girl...teehehehe.  I am looking soooo forward to this team, the adventure, and expanding my style.  I look forward to getting to know you and I hope that you are inspired by my work!

I’m so happy be one of the Funkies here at Frilly and Funkie. I’m a long-time scrapper and stamper, drawn especially to the style of Tim Holtz, 7 Gypsies, and all things grungy.

I love stamping, scrapping, collage, mixed media, and art journaling. Distress inks are a part of nearly everything I do, and I'm a huge fan of stencils, sprays, paints, and mists. I make tags, cards, artist trading cards, scrapbook pages, canvases and home decor pieces.

Please stop by my blog and have a look around. Looking forward to participating in all the fun challenges here at F&F!

Let's Get This Party Started!

Welcome to the Frilly and Funkie challenge blog, a place where vintage is cherished and celebrated in all its many forms.  Whether your favorite style is shabby chic, vintage grunge or retro, you'll find lots to inspire you here every week.  Our first challenge will be Wednesday, March 28 and all our designers we will share their favorite vintage style.  After that, we will have bi-weekly challenges but you will get to see new work from our designers every week.  We have split our team into two styles - the Frillies and the Funkies.  The Frillies will post their interpretation of the challenge theme the first week of the challenge.  The following week, the Funkies will post their interpretation of the challenge.  Whatever your style, you can play along any time during the two weeks the challenge is open.

We are so excited to start the kick off.  For the next seven days we are going to tease you by revealing who is on our new design team, one designer each day.  We hope you will visit each one of them and leave them some love and encouragement.  On March 28th, our official start date, we will do a random drawing of all those who left comments on every designer's blog and that person will win a $25 gift certificate to my Funkie Junkie Boutique.  Once you finish visiting all the blogs, please come back here and sign up for the drawing using the linky system that will be the top post here on March 27th.

And now a little about me.  I'm Linda Coughlin also know as The Funkie Junkie with a blog of the same name.  I am the owner of this blog as well as the Our Creative Corner challenge blog.  I've been on a number of design teams over the past few years including Our Creative Corner, Creative Card Crew, Creative Inspirations Wednesday Challenge, Pile it On, The Prairie Fairy, Isabella's Sketchbook, Sugar Creek Hollow and Simon Says Stamp and Show.  I've been a guest designer for JustRite Stamps, The Shabby Tea Room and am currently doing a five month guest designer spot for Artistic Outpost.  A year ago, I started a small Etsy boutique selling-out-of-the-mainstream craft supplies. I recently  moved my shop over to Zibbet and it is growing but I do not and will not be selling everything the big on-line superstores sell.  My aim is to stay boutique size - a place you can go to find different and somewhat unique types of craft supplies and receive hand-touched packaging and stellar customer service.  That said, I will admit that my love of Ranger products has propelled me into the decision to carry Ranger products also.

My crafting style is on the shabby side of vintage, but I love working with the artsy, grungy stuff too.  So you will see me playing on both the Frilly and the Funkie sides of the team from time to time.  I'm super excited to be starting this challenge blog.  We are going to have lots of things happening every week.  Check out our Weekly Schedule of Events tab up top and sign up as a follower or for our emails so you don't miss a thing.

Hello!

If you have come across this blog, welcome!  We are a new challenge blog just under construction.  We will kick off all the fun here with our first challenge on Wednesday, March 28th.  Until then, we will be working to get everything set for our official kick off.  Feel free to become a follower or subscribe to our email feed so you won't miss out on any of the excitement!

We would love to have you leave us a comment so we know you were here.  Hope to see you back again soon!
