A sad goodbye and a warm hello, March Guest Design team

Hello Wee fans,

Sorry guys, this is going to be a long post.

Today is March 1st which means we will have to say goodbye to our fabulous February Guest Designers. Annie Johnson, Elaine Livesey, Gretha Bakker and Vili Mitkovska, thank you so much for all the gorgeous cards you created for us this past month! All four of you have just been incredible, both with your crafts and in our contact. You have made this new adventure such a pleasant one and we can't thank you enough for that! We will keep track of your gorgeous blogs and Facebook pages and we know this isn't really a goodbye.

We also want to thank our fabulous February Whimsy Guest Designer Melissa Andrew. Melissa thank you so much for letting us show your gorgeous creations both on our blog and our Facebook page. Again... no goodbye, as a member of the Whimsy team we know we will see more of your gorgeous work with Wee Stamps (and other brands) and we can't wait to see those.

We will introduce you to our March Whimsy Guest Designer tomorrow but please let us introduce you to our lovely March Guest Design Team today!

My name is Chantal and I am 36 years old, married and I have one daughter who is 4 years old. I live in Alkmaar in the Netherlands. I practice this lovely hobby (and addiction LOL) since April 2010, because I wanted something to do at home with a baby, because with my other hobby (dogs en judging dogs) I was out for a whole weekend sometimes. 
First I made 3D- cards, but since 2011 I only make scrap cards with cute stamps and I color them with my beloved Copic markers. My favorites stamps are of course Wee Stamp and all the other stamps designed by Sylvia Zet, Magnolia and Teddybo. I have a blog http://chantalskaarten.blogspot.com on which you can find my projects and creations. 
 I hope I may inspire you with some lovely Wee Stamp cards this month! And thank you very much Sylvia and Mariska for this opportunity to be a guest designer on your great blog!

This is one of the gorgeous creations by Chantal with Wee Stamps' Sweet Blossom:

I'm Saskia Smits, I'm 43 summers old. I've been together with Peter for 24,5 years and we've been married since October 2004. We live in Veghel in cozy North-Brabant in the Netherlands. I work as a technical administrative employee at a company in Oss where, apart from me, there are only men. Besides the fact that I work 36 hours per week I have a lot of time for crafts because we don't have any kids.
I've been making cards since 1997. At one point I started out with 3D cards until the scrap-virus got to me. Nowadays I prefer to work with digital images that I color with my Copic markers. Unfortunately I'm no longer in a Design Team but since recently I am one of the administrators of a forum in The Netherlands.

And this is one of the gorgeous creations Saskia made with Wee Stamps' Silver Fairy:

Hello, my name is Margreet and I live in Holland with my dear husband, a cute little dog and a rabbit. A couple of years ago I went to a workshop to make a scrapcard and from that moment on I’ve been making my scrap cards with stamped images. I really love the gorgeous stamps made by Sylvia and I am very honored that I was asked for this chance to be a guest designer for a month. My other hobbies are that I love to watch a movie, like to cook and that I love spending time with my dear friends. I hope you'll enjoy seeing the cards I made.

And let's start with this gorgeous creation by Margreet with SCACD's Elania, designed by Sylvia Zet:

Hello,  I am Anita Madden. I am married and we have one daughter and an adorable grandson. 
I have always enjoyed crafts and I've been a decorative painter (acrylics, watercolors, pen-and-inks) for over 20 years. I started papercrafting about 3 years ago and I love it! I enjoy coloring with copics, colored pencils, and distress inks. 
My favorite stamps to color are cute and whimsical images such as Sylvia's.  I'm so excited to be a guest designer for March!

And this is one of the gorgeous creations by Anita with Wee Stamps' Heidi:

Hi, I am so excited to be a here! I'm Danielle, a wife and a mother to three boys and a little girl.
I am lucky enough to stay at home with my children, but when I need a break I go craft. I have admired paper crafts (cards, layouts, mini albums) for years, but I finally started card making last year on my 31st birthday. Once I started, there was no looking back! I love to use my Copics to color up stamps, mostly digital, and turning them into beautiful cards. I first discovered Wee Stamps when I came across a fairy card while browsing the internet and thought it was gorgeous. I hunted down where I could find the card's image and was led to Wee Stamps. I have been in love with Sylvia Zet's images since, so I feel very fortunate to be here as the guest designer for March working with such adorable and fun to color images!

And here is one of Danielle's gorgeous creations with Wee Stamps' Spring Bringer:

I am Nanda, 35 years old and living in the Netherlands. I work 29 hours a week
and the rest of the time is for cardmaking, scrapbooking and my two birds. I started years ago with 3d cards. After many years I was bored with it, I needed a new challenge. At that point stamping and scrapbooking came into the Netherlands. I tried it and so far I didn't stop. I like the creativity, no rules and just do your own thing. I get my inspiration out of everything, it can be a piece of paper, the stamp itself, magazines, other blogs and cards etc. I hope I can give you inspiration with my cards.

I'm sure you can Nanda, here is one of the gorgeous projects by Nanda with Wee Stamps' Peggy:
