Di's Digi Downloads

I have been drawing since a child and studied graphics at College many years ago, I now work as a Medical photographer part time but my love was always drawing. I started cardmaking about 4yrs ago when I bought my daughter acardmaking kit which we did together, but I’m afraid I got the bug! My daughterpreferred scrapbooking. I then started looking online at other blogs and thisthen became my passion and I loved sharing my cards with likeminded people.

I love stamping and loved finding images, but sometimes I could not find what I wanted so I started to draw myself.

This then has become my second addiction and I have never looked back, Ilove thinking of new images, and its just fabulous to see others take them andmake them into beautiful works of art. Long may it continue!

The Stamping Chef

The Stamping Chef was born in November 2012, after I (Tamara) decided to switch from the scrapbook community to the crafter side of designing. Drawing is my passion, and my style is fun, cute and doodlish..I think =D.  I love to see images come to life when they're colored by amazing crafters. Creating digital images can be a tedious process, but I love each and every step of it. I have a lovely bunch of ladies standing next to me, creating, giving me advice, and help me everywhere they can. I'm so totally new in this great adventure, but I love it! It's so totally different than I'm used to. I hope I can provide you with loads of cute, happy, funny images you can work with.

Offering three (3) Digital images of WINNER's Choice!

Whoopsie Daisy

Two (2) Sheets, a total of 8 images, of WINNER's Choice!

Di's Digi Downloads

Offering $10.00 Gift Certificate to Di's Digi Downloads!

Jessie

Hi, my name is Jessie.  I am 30 years old, live in Maryland and am married to a wonderful man who happens to be my best friend. I've been crafting most of my life, thanks to my crafty mama but I have only been scrapping and making cards for the last 3 years or so. It all started out innocently enough ... when I wanted to make a scrapbook for my aunt as a gift. I didn't have any scrapbook supplies at all ... it's hard to believe that now when I look at my craft room today! Someone even told me when I first started that it wouldn't be long before I had a roomful of supplies. I thought, "Nah.  Not me." Boy, was I ever wrong! Scrapping and cardmaking has become my way to relax and spend a little "me" time. It's also a blessing to be able to use the product of my relaxation to bring joy to others. How many other hobbies can do that?!

Challenge #88 ~ Artist Trading Card

Happy Monday!

Thank you to everyone who participated in our 

"Sketch Challenge" last week.

We had a fantastic turnout with so many amazing submissions showcasing your interpretations of our Sketch! The team and I had an awesome time visiting your blogs to see your creativity in action! Fabulous Job!!!

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Once again I would like the Thank all of the Designers who sent in their application to join our Love to Create Design Team. Today it gives me great pleasure to introduce our Newest Designers to you.

Hi, my name is Lorraine. I live in Cumbria, England with my life partner and two almost grown children. Being a relative newbie to crafting - almost 5 years since I bought my first stamp. I have found that stamping is my most favorite thing to do: from choosing the stamp, how I am going to colour it, cut it or punch it, and then layer, emboss or accessories it. I just love stamping. I stamp cards and scrap-booking pages, mini books and anything else I can get my hands on. I decided to apply for being a design team member to help me challenge myself to progress with my crafting: when you work together in a group like that the ideas seem to just bounce around brilliantly and you feel empowered to try things you might not have done!

Hi, I'm Maureen. I'm a stay at home mum of 4 children and I've been married for over 13-years now. I've always been arty and crafty, and have a higher in Art and Design, but after school I dabbled in several jobs before gaining a degree in Adult Nursing. However, hubby is studying at the moment and being at home with the kids means I have a bit more time to get crafting! I'm a card maker at heart but also enjoy home decor projects and have started experimenting with altered art. I'm so excited to be joining the Love to Create team and look forward to working with you all and helping inspire the challenge entrants. 

These ladies are busy working on projects to inspire you, and they will be joining us for Challenge #90 on November 4th. Please join us in Welcoming these ladies to our Design Team.

Laila

My name is Laila, I'm a 26 year old girl from Norway :) 

I live in a small area in the south-east region, enjoying the mountains, the sea and the forest. 

I started crafting (scrapbook-albums) 8 years ago, and found my way into folding, stamping and cards as my curiosity got bigger. I now make primarily cards, with some albums now and then, and I love it! Style-wise, I lean towards bright colours and contrasts, as well as my beloved Steampunk. Making a lot of steampunk means my favorite stamp-creators are amongst others KennyK, Simply Betty Stamps, and SweetPea. Other beloved brands are DCWV, Graphic 45, Prima, Lindy's Stamp Gang and Dusty Attic.
