guest designer this month Judy W

So thrilled to have with us this month as guest designer Judy W, who is a regular participant in our challenges. We love to see her work, and we were honoured that she agreed to share her work with us this month as guest designer!!!!! Welcome Judy!


A bit about me

Hi, My name is Judy and I live in tropical north Queensland with my husband of 40 plus years. Our 3 sons all have families of their own now and we are so lucky to have 7 gorgeous grandchildren. Apart from scrapbooking I enjoy many different crafts especially working with fibre and fabric. My scrapbooking style is usually quite simple and I often incorporate stitching or fabric. I love to scrap photos of my grandchildren and hope that they will enjoy their albums in years to come.


 
Here is Judy's GORGEOUS design:

We have a LOVELY Guest Designer with us this month:


 

I was so excited to be invited to Guest Design for Another Freaking Scrappy Challenge - I love the prompts to get me going!

My name's Michelle Henderson, and I'm a Kiwi living in Christchurch, New Zealand. Our beautiful city was hit by an earthquake a while ago, and scrapping really became my therapy! Our buildings are being rebuilt now, stronger and better than ever, and our people have become so resilient because of it.

I started scrapping when my second daughter was born, and she's now nearly Sweet Sixteen, so I've seen a few style changes over the years...and of course my style has changed and adapted as I go along too. At the moment I find it hard to do a page without some sort of mixed media, I love getting my hands dirty. And the product that always makes it on to my pages at the moment are the Nuvo Crystal Drops - they're so versatile!

Drop in and visit me at my blog - https://artscrapz.blogspot.co.nz/ any time!

july guest designer ... Giorgia Rossini

Our guest designer this month is Giorgia Rossini.  We love her work and her visits with her work to our blog!!!
 
My name is Giorgia Rossini, I'm Italian and I live in a small city in centre Italy - Agugliano.
 
I am 34 years old, I am married, I love to read and to travel the world! I love everything crafty but scrapbooking is my happy place!
 
I started 6 years ago, I make especially layouts and very quick and simple cards.
 
I love mixing patterns and layering. My works are colorful and a mix of patterns. I really can't define my style, I go with the inspiration of the moment!
 
I had the chance to be in some scrapbooking DTs and I really love it!
 
Currently I design for Docrafts and CreaFamily (an Italian shop online)
 
 
 
 
 
Here is Giorgia's work for this challenge - such a beautiful card !!
