Winter Sports

Hello everyone!  Stacey here, I am super excited to bring our May Challenge to you.  For this challenge I picked Winter Sports as the theme.  We have a great sponsor All Dressed Up with 2 cute images for us to use.

Sadly we are saying goodbye to Bianca after this challenge - a big thank you for being such a great member of the Design Team and we're going to miss you.

We are also welcoming GDT Dawn as a permanent member of the team - great to have you as part of the team, Dawn!

And here's a bit about All Dressed Up:

Hi, my name’s Wendy, founder of All Dressed Up. I live in Nottingham UK with my husband and two children (my inspiration behind the characters) - in particular, my daughter who has kept me up-to-date with trends and all things digital.

 Day to day, I work as a textile designer working traditionally within children's wear, fashion and interiors. Although my work is mostly digital, my work process remains hand-drawn which I hope comes across in my artwork.

All Dressed Up was created in 2013 as a place to share my digital stamps which back then was a whole new challenge for me. Since, I’ve been lucky to have discovered a whole creative community and welcomed the All Dressed Up design team who have been amazing to work with. Through our online community and Instagram, the team keep me on my toes to keep on drawing, creating and inspiring. My favorite thing is seeing how my characters are continually given brand new personalities!

On our Facebook and Instagram page we host regular tutorials, challenges (and freebies!) and is the real heart of our community. The stamps are available from the All Dressed Up Etsy shop which is continually updated on a monthly basis with lots of limited edition and seasonal stamps available in particular.

The All Dressed Up community is a friendly bunch (if I do say so myself!) and we would love for you to get involved, see your work and for you to share your stamping tips too! Do get in contact and be sure to visit our Facebook and Instagram pages to see what we’re creating at the moment.

Our Design Team did a great job with our theme & images.  I hope you will play along with us!  We can't wait to see what you create.

Peace on Earth

 Welcome everyone, Michelle here and I'm excited to announce our April Challenge!  For this month's challenge I chose the theme "Peace on Earth".  With all the craziness going on in the World today, I feel we need a little Peace among us all.  

Our Design Team has done a wonderful job on showing their versions of Peace on Earth and I know their creations will motivate you to play along!

Our fabulous sponsor for this challenge is

Living in Leeds, Yorkshire in the UK, working full time as a Management Accountant, currently working on 2 design teams and an obsessive crafter and creator of cards. I have no actual style as yet but do love the unusual and quirky. I may be known for producing cards in soft pastel colours. I love anything arty. I've always drawn stuff, for as long as I can remember. In my younger days I sold a few watercolour paintings. I recently found mixed media which is a joy and love creating canvases with flowers. I had a battle with digital drawing for about a year and finally found some software I could gel with. 

In January 2016 a challenge team I worked on was short of a designer's images to create with so to the crafting world, to the lovely ladies who have supported me on my journey. I've a Facebook group SheepSki Designs where I hold challenges, some for fun to win digis as well as my monthly card challenge. I've a SheepSki Designs challenge blog as well. Things are growing slowly (thankfully) so I still manage to spend at least a little time with my hubby. Welcome to my world Andrea xx
