Hello! I'm Rebecca from Wings & Willows. I am a happy wife and mama to 3 sweet girls. The hubby and I live out in the country along with an assortment of animals. In my small amount of spare time, I love to blog about our life  and share some new (and free) stamps that I've created. (As well as fill you in on sales in the shop!) My digital stamps definitely are a reflection of the day-to-day things that go on at home. I've been doodling for the past 30-ish years, so it's great to be able to share my art with friends! In addition to that, I paint fingerprint trees. Just think of them as a fun and unique alternative to guest books. I would love for you to take a peek at my shops. (Or drop a line on my blog! I love to hear from you!) Thanks! Becca :)

Before I share the design teams creations I want to introduce 
to you our newest Team Designer Trudy Harris - Thomas
We are so excited to have Trudy joining the team.



Hey ya'll - I'm Trudy.  I'm somewhat of a newbie at cardmaking and blogging; posting my first creation and blog post just 6 months ago.  Prior to that I  actually owned a couple of little flower shops.  I live in a small agricultural community in South Central Florida with my husband, 2 rescued dogs and one very mean Amazon Parrot   I live approximately 125 miles (round trip) to the closest crafts store.  I can no longer drive due to a medical condition so,  needless to say, I have to improvise often while working on my cards.  You know what they say - necessity is the mother of invention.  I make and/or create many of my own embellishments and rely on the internet heavily for exceptional companies to get me product quickly and at a good price.

I am primarily a card maker, however I do quite a bit of altered art and some scrapbooking; I am BIG on recycling and natural items in my projects.  I don't really have a set "style", although I lean toward Vintage and shabby chic in many of my personal creations where I have "free will".

I have been a GDT on a few sites and I am currently on 2 Design Teams (Tammy's Scrappin Corner and Tsunami Rose Designs) and love the experience I am gaining by teaming with such creative minds.  It makes me create projects that I would probably never try, and I just love how it makes me think "outside of the box and gets me out of my comfort zone".  

Welcome to the team Trudy, I know you all will love the creativity Trudy will be bringing to the team!!



Please join me in giving a warm welcome to 
Our Guest Designer this week the very talented 



Hello! My name is Jackie. I am blessed to be a SAHM to five beautiful children and wife to a most loving and patient man. I started out scrapbooking in 2008, when my daughters’ began 4H. Since then, I have become passionate about all kinds of papercrafting. I began teaching a scrapbooking and mixed media class at our local homeschooling co-op two years ago and love every minute of it! I love to learn and pass that knowledge on to others.

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 a cardmaking kit which we did together, but I’m afraid I got the bug! My daughter preferred scrapbooking. I then started looking online at other blogs and this then became my passion and I loved sharing my cards with like minded 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 and make them into beautiful works of art. Long may it continue!

Offering a fabulous prize of a $10 Gift Certificate to Di's Digi  Stamps store 




 My name is Heidi Schwoerer and I love drawing and crafting!  I started drawing at about age 7 and I just never stopped!  I attended college got my degree in art and had a hard time finding an "art" job.  I never stopped drawing though and sooner or later I developed my own style, started freelancing, started a rubber stamp business, started a digital stamp business and then just turned to licensing my line art and selling digital stamps!(which is where I am now!)  In 2013 I hope to find my own coloring style and create a colored art license portfolio.
 I love to use Adobe Ideas on my iPad to sketch, outline and color all my illustrations!  I do still love to sketch with a good old pencil and sketch book though!  I bring an idea book with me where ever I go, so when ever an idea pops into my head I can jot it down or draw a quick sketch.-Heidi

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!


Offering a fabulous prize of 4 digis from their store


Designs by Beccy Muir



Paint, paper, silk, charcoal, clay, wool, fabric, fur… I’ve had my hands on all of it at some point in my life and I’m quite certain I’ll have a half-finished project on my desk and ink under my fingernails on the day I go to meet my Maker!

My paper obsession began with scrapbooking in the late 1990s and has since evolved into card-making and digital drawing. There were a few years of decorative painting, teddy bear making and silk ribbon embroidery mixed in there too, and I still dabble in each of those crafts from time to time, but I generally gravitate toward paper, which is versatile and forgiving.

I started “doodling” little designs for cards back in 2009, which is also when I started my blog and began sharing my images with other Cardies. From there I progressed to my very own online store selling digital drawings for cards and other paper craft projects.

Cheers,
Beccy Muir

We are excited to Welcome Back 
Judy as our Guest Designer this week



For many years I made cross stitched cards and small projects (one nighters) until late 2007 when I gingerly transferred to card making. It was some time before stamping took hold but once it did WOW there no stopping me, I just love it! I had silently followed the blogs avidly but only plucked up the courage to form my own blog in February 2011! It was so scary hitting ‘publish’for the first time but now I wonder why I did not do this before. I feel I have come such a long way, am now on two Design Teams,and also am enjoying doing commissions for Papercrafts Essentials magazine, the first of which was Published in February 2013.It is a great hobby, and one that is definitely a pleasure to share. Do feel free to drop by and say hello on http://inkypinkydelights.blogspot.com/
