CHALLENGE 89 FOUR SEASONS

Many thanks for your lovely entries last week so many new people too - you can see them over on the sampler page.
This week I am honoured to have a lovely new Guest Designer called Shelley - here is what she says:

'I am Shelley and I live on the East Coast of Yorkshire. I was honoured when Cynthia asked me to be a guest designer after I had put my name forward, but also a little nervous as it is my first time as a guest designer.

I own and run the discount card making store 'One Stop Card Crafts'. I have been card making for a little over 3 years. I started jewellery making intially but became hooked on making cards when my mother- in law introduced me to it. There are only couple of craft stores in my area so thought I would put my business skills to opening an online store. We have been open now for 3 years and I have loved every minute of it. I am mother to 3 lovely boys so working from home is ideal.

I also run the challenge blog, 'One Stop Craft Challenge'. A fresh challenge is set every Saturday.

I am currently addicted to digi stamps, I love how versatile they are and great value for money. I like to use ribbon, gems and pearls on my cards. I think they add a lovely touch without costing the earth lol.

The theme I have chosen is 'The Four Seasons'. This can be interpreted in any way, with seasonal colours or with the use of images etc. I have chosen Summer as my season . I have made two cards using the same image but using different colour schemes.
Have fun and I look forward to seeing what you create. Love Shelley'


Here are Shelley's two lovely cards to help inspire you.






































So there you are have fun and do make sure you check Shelley's blog too.

My card has all four seasons. It's definitely winter here on the eastern seaboard of the US. And I am really longing for spring!

Great inspiration pieces, Shelley.

This is the first time I have posted on Rainbow Lady's & I love all the cards I have seen. I posted the butterfly seed packet that I used for Stampin' Sisters in Christ & posted before I looked at today's challenges for Spring hopefully soon. We are getting another 10" of snow on top of last weekends 12". You can see it at http://hiddenforeststamping.blogspot.com.

Happy Stampin', Lynette
