We have Two Fabulous Sponsors this week!

A warm welcome to the Wonderful
Floppy Latte

Hi. I'm Jessica (or FLOPPY) of FLOPPY LATTE DESIGNS. I design digital stamps and papers, and also rework old woodcuts and drawings and put them into digital stamp form.. and i'm Stef (or GLITTERBABE) as i'm known in blogland. I also design digital stamps but not quite as intricately as FLOPPY does. Together we're the LATTE LADIES, or better known as FLOPPY LATTE DESIGNS. Jess is the more serious one and Stef is the clown – always trying to make people laugh. ok. So she likes the limelight. Keeps me (Jess) in the background creating. Together we offer a variety of stamping and scrapbooking images and items reaching out to everyone's tastes (so we think). Do drop by FLOPPY LATTE DESIGNS ( www.floppylattedesigns.com/catalog ) and have a look around. We are sure you'll see something you like and we guarantee it'll put a smile on your face!

Wedgie (Rachel)

I started crafting almost by accident about 8 years ago. I was never artisitc or creative as a child, but there is no stopping me now! I love papercrafts and making cards that that make other people smile. My speciality is girly...a lot of my cards are pink or purple and sparkle a lot! I am also a keen baker, my latest cakes can often be seen on my blog, and this passion often influences my crafting too, as you'll often find a cupcake or two featured on my cards! I am so excited to be picked to join the Love to Create DT this week.

Please take a minute and stop over to leave Wedgie some sweet hugs!!!

Now for some fabulous inspiration from our design team!

Our Amazing Sponsor this week is
One of our favorites

Sassy Studio Designs

Offering a Grand Prize of 2 Sassy Studio Designs Images of your choice

Sassy Studio Designs is a fresh new company. We have been designing and selling for 2 years now, and we have been kindly received into the community of digi stampers and crafters. I started designing images shortly after I started stamping, reason being...I didn't hardly like anything else out there I was a young adult woman at the time I was engaged, had no kids, I wanted fun sexy images that I would enjoy using and my friends and hubby would enjoy receiving. I designed images for 2 other digi stamp companies when my wonderful hubby kept trying to get me to go out on my own. So in June 2009 thanks to the few faithful followers I had, Sassy Studio Designs was born! It has been a wonderful journey starting my own store. We have just grown so much these past months.I still try to keep Lindsay Dyer: keep with my original philosophy and reason for designing stamps, make them fun and keep them sassy...and yes sometimes even sexy!

Lindsay

Our Special Guest Designer this week is 

Sandy

 My name is Sandy and I live in South Australia. My family of 5 are grown up  and my hubby and I now have 3 grandchildren as well. I enjoy family, friends,  church and singing and CRAFT.  I’m involved in my church choir and also a  choir of about 80 and perform concerts about 5-6 times a year including a couple  of charity ones at Christmas time.  I am also involved in several craft  groups, a teacher at one and founding member and co-ordinator of another one and  the other couple I go to as just one of the class. On Saturday I join friends  and we mainly do beading activities with some cardmaking every now again to  learn something new.

I have been cardmaking for at least 13 years now. When I was younger, I  liked to knit and made things for my children when they were little and I also  knitted for a shop and then a designer, but never thought of myself as crafty.  When I got involved with cardmaking, I started off with paper embroidery ( my  friends called me the Queen of Paper Embroidery, LOL)  and also iris  folding and was never going to get into stamping as it was just another expense.  I took a class at a community craft group and that was that!   Well,  it got the better of me and my stamp collection and passion for stamping has  taken off with a vengeance. The cardmaking product market has also expanded  which means there is always something that I would love to add to my  collection.  I’m a CAS “girl” at heart so most of my cards are made this  way with die cuts and embellishments working their way in more as time goes by.  I love all the cards with loads of embellishments but find it hard to do  myself

This is my first time as a Guest Designer and it has been fun working out  what to make with the Halloween image I received from Sassy Studios

Hope you like it.

Feel free to visit me at my blog, love to “see” you.
