Inspiration from Lynn

Hey everyone, it's Lynn here with some inspiration for the latest challenge here at Fitztown!

Challenge #48 - For the Kids

I've used a really cute LE5 from the Last Enchanter series of images.

My son and husband LOVE the game "Clash of Clans" and this image reminded me of that game.  I guess she'd be an Archer in the game !!  I wanted to keep an earthy feel to the card, so I used mostly brown tones.  I've left the sentiment off this card because quite honestly I'm not sure if it will be a birthday card or something else !!  How cute is this image?  Don't ya just love it?

I hope I've inspired you to play along this week.  There are sooo many possibilities for creating a card For the Kids on this challenge.  I look forward to seeing what you create !!

Just for Kids

Hi. This is CT member Rachelle with an inspiration card for Challenge #48.

 "Just for Kids"

Are you ready for some football? The football preseason is beginning and I found that choosing an image for this challenge was an easy one. I love using papers that when coupled with just the right image are the perfect marriage.

I colored the image (Sports 20) with Copic Markers. I used brads, foam tape, Spellbinders Nestabilities and a Fiskars star punch to create the masculine card that will appeal to both children and teens. I hope this card inspires and gets your creative juices flowing. I look forward to seeing your creations!

I’m truly honored to become part of this join this artistic group of women! 

The Challenge says “Anything Goes”, so I went floral.

For this card, I used the Garden 9 image from Fitztown.

I colored it in with inks and a blender pen,

and then added some distress detailing.

CAZ

Here is a what Caz would like you to know about her:

My name is Caz. I live in Nottingham, England, with my very patient hubby Jim. I've been card making now since 2010 after trying all sorts even bobbin lace making, love x stitch also, but this has been neglected. I have 3 grown children, and 4 lovely grandchildren, ranging from 4 yrs up to 22 yrs. So lots of cards needed at times...lol...I also attend Phill Martins card classes and have picked up a lot of tips. Our spare bedroom has become my craft room, so me upstairs and Jim downstairs. He is good and keeps me supplied with tea during the day. lol

JAN

Here's a little tidbit about Jan in her own words:

Hi my name is Jan but in the world of crafting and to many others I am known as Scatty. I live in the South West of England with my Hubby and our 3 adopted cats. Most afternoons you can find me in my craft room - I mainly like to make cards and 3d paper projects - I am so happy to be a GD for Fitztown.

Thanks for taking the time to stop by and meet our newest Guest Designers.

Meet the New Creative Team Members

Please help the Fitztown Creative Team and me welcome our newest additions to the Team.

This is Barb Black.

Here is what Barb would like you to know about her:

Being a generally creative person, I have dabbled in various artistic endeavors over the years: floral design, music, sewing, quilting, writing, art. The sign in my studio reads: Any Craft Will Do. But, ever since I fell head over heels into the world of rubber stamping I mostly keeps busy making cards. A bit of a gypsy soul, I have wandered many places in my life and I take inspiration accumulated from those travels. I live in Snohomish, WA, nestled between the snow-capped peaks of the Cascade mountains and Puget Sound. I am also writing my first novel, I've Seen Rain.

This is Billie:

Here's what she'd like you to know about her:

My name is Billie Anderson and I am married to the love of my life. We have four grown married children who have given us grandchildren. We even have two great grand-kids. We live in the great Pacific Northwest in SW Washington State. I still work out side of the house for the State.

I have enjoyed crafting most of my life. I remember my mom and aunts teaching me to knit, crochet and sew. I then found paper crafting quite a few years ago and it has taken over my life. I love the challenge of challenges. I hope to inspire you with my creations and encourage you to play along with the Fitztown challenge blog team. You can visit my personal blog at Ink on My Fingers.

This is Lorraine:

This is what Lorraine would like you to know about her:

I have been crafting for about 10 years now ever since I  was retired early from work due to ill health, I started off with Decoupage but quickly progressed onto rubber stamping then found an extra love within the world of Digi Images. I have been blessed and honored to work with some of the most wonderful Design Teams and Challenge Blogs that are and have been around. I love to create projects using some of the beautiful images that are available and to enhance their beauty with some colour.  I love to visit fellow crafters blogs to see their work and have been inspired by so many of them.

This is Rachelle:

This is what Rachelle would like you to know about her:

My name is Rachelle Green. I'll be celebrating 5 years of marriage at the end of the month and that is what ultimately brought me here. Five years ago, I wanted to scrap my wedding photos. Let's just say, before it was finished, I was introduced to cardmaking and, well... that album is not quite finished. I like the instant gratification of cardmaking. I've always liked coloring and until I discovered cardmaking, there were always crayons and coloring books around. I am self-taught with alcohol markers and colored pencils and if I must say so myself "I've got skills!" I love working with digital images and am always on the lookout for a sentiment that will make the perfect marriage when combined. I'd like to incorporate more Cricut cuts but that hasn't happened as much as it should for the amount of cartridges I own. I love bling, flowers, dies and Kraft cardstock. When I'm not papercrafting, I enjoy reading, sewing (for myself and my various Barbies numbering about 100), playing violin, golfing, bowling and riding my Harley Davidson Fat Boy. I am also a five year breast cancer survivor! Please visit my blog, I'm Black Martha.
