Introduction July Guest Design Team and a sad goodbye to our June team

Good morning everybody!

Since we started with asking Guest Designers in February of this year time appears to pass so much quicker. It really seems like just a few days ago when we introduced you to our incredible team of June Guest Designers. Eileen Taylor, Maya Stenshagen, Raffaela Perego, Sue Hughes and Wenche Wold formed an incredible team together. Within no time at all most of our June blog schedule was filled with absolutely stunning creations, each one completely different from the other and each lady using her own fabulous techniques and styles. We are going to miss you girls, you all did an amazing job and like we say every month, this isn't a goodbye but just a thank you VERY much for all your hard work!

And we need to thank another gorgeous lady. Our June Whimsy Guest Designer Jacque Beddingfield was such a joy to have with us, she was helpful and kind and it was such a joy to show her gorgeous creations to all of you. Thank you so much lovely lady, we don't have to miss you either because you'll continue creating your gorgeousness at Whimsy Stamps.

That's for the sad part but a new month also means a good thing, we get to introduce you to new team of Guest Designers, joining us in July are:

My Name is Tracey, happily married and a stay at home mom to 3 awesome boys who keep me very busy! I've been crafty all my life. I got into cardmaking about 6 years ago after I stumbled upon some awesome blogs...I didn't even know what blogging was at the time. I was very inspired and it looked like lots of fun. I got hooked right away! My skills got better and better as I gained knowledge and inspiration over the years from fellow crafters. I went from being inspired to now hopefully inspiring others. 

 My favorite coloring medium at the moment is Copics. I don't think I particularly have a favorite card style. I like trying all kinds of new techniques and usually try to go with the flow of the stamp I'm using at the time. I love adding loads of embellishments, texture, depth and the more sparkle the better! 

 I have had the pleasure over the last couple years to work on some awesome design teams, and was extremely honored to be asked to guest design for Wee Stamps for the month of July! So I hope you will enjoy my projects I have to share this month as I thoroughly enjoyed working with Sylvia's amazing images!

My name is Ellen Kristiansen, from Sandefjord/ Norway. 
 I have always had a creative hobby, but I became "addicted" to this scraphobby around Christmas 2009, when I wanted to make my own Christmas cards for friends and family. :) So, about spring 2010 I started my own blog. I love vintage and shabby style, while I like to try making some "steampunk gentleman cards ;) So I switch a little, I'm particularly fond of images with lots of folds and hair. It's fun to coloring them, and see how the use of light and shadow gives life to the images, and these supercute Wee stamps are perfect for that! ;) I enjoy learning more about color with my beloved Copic. What I like most is to create different types of cards, tags, and sometimes "altered projects", and I use any free time to indulge me in my hobbyroom ♥. I also love to use the sewingmachine on my cards/prosject. 
It's such an honour for me to be a Guest here at Wee Stamps, and look forward to showing you my creations. 
 Wish you a beautiful day♥ 
Hugs, Ellen

Hello to all.  
Its Laine here and I can't believe that I am going to be one of the Guest Designers for the fabulous Wee Stamps for the month of July.
How excited and honoured am I to be able to showcase Sylvia's fabulous art work. 
Thank you so much Sylvia and Mariska for this wonderful opportunity. I love Wee Stamps images. 
They are a joy to colour and design with.

I have turned into a compulsive card maker over the last few years. I love to design and make cards.
It's a wonderful past-time and has opened up so many new avenues for me and I have made some wonderful crafty friends. 
  
Hugs to all from,
 Laine

First, may I say how honoured I am to be asked to be Guest Designer for the month of July. 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 several Design Teams, and also am enjoying doing commissions for Papercraft 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 my blog by clicking on my name above my picture and say hello.

My name is Sabina, I'm 33 years old and I live in Helsinki, Finland with my boyfriend and my cat. I started trying different types of crafting in the year 2000 but it was in 2005 I first got in touch with rubber stamps and coloring, digi stamps I have been using for about a year.
I mostly make cards when I'm crafting but I have also made a few layouts. I love crafting and when we bought this apartment I even got my own craft room, luxury! I'm so honored to be a guest designer for Wee Stamps this month, looking forward to work with these beautiful images. I hope you will be inspired by my cards.
Hugs Sabina
