Spotlight - My First Divider Page

Hi Everyone, its Paula back again and as it is my turn for the Spotlight Designer this week, I thought I would show you my first divider page from my Copic Book. I have used the face of a card that I had previously made, because I love this digital Stamp from Sherry. She is called Travel Bug, and now she has a permanent home in my Journal.

So here is my front cover and below is the divider page.

Guest Designer: Faye

I'm super exited for this week's guest designer. If you haven't heard or seen her work you better stop by her blog today to check out her amazing collection of handmade cards.

Here's what  Faye had to say as a guest designer:

I'm Faye, but I also answer to Fluff and all derivatives of said Fluff!

I'm Wife, Mum, Obsessive Cumpulsive, Self-confessed Stashoholic and E-mail/ Facebbok/ Blog Stalker. How do I fit all that into a day? Simples. I run on Fairy Dust! When I am not doing all of those things, you'll find me at my desk, hunched over an image, while I dream of fluffy clouds and glittery tiaras.

I'm pretty pleased with how this card turned out for a number of reasons. Folds and pleats... eurgh! I hate them. Give me a tree to colour, no problem. Folds and pleats have me quaking in my boots! I am also playing around with some skin combinations at the moment and this one is a new one for me. And, there are a lot of layers and details on this card. Not my normal bag, (clean and minimal is me.) but I like it! 

I guess even super talented designers like Faye are face with challenges sometime. I think she handled it well though.

I am so proud to be a Guest Designer at A Random Fan and I hope I have inspired you to play with Sherry's fun images too :)

Designteam Spotlight Bettina

Bettina here today and I have a little make for you. I decided to use Pirate Adventure and make a little different project this time. 

I decided to go with a tag and first off I embossed it with a TH embossing folder.Then I used stencils from Tim Holtz to make a sunbeam and spotty waves to make it look like the little pirate is at sea. I used dylusions sprays to make the colours pop. I had some chipboards that looked like waves that I put on top of the tag abd added the image on top!My little pirate is coloured with my promarkers as usual. Hope you'll like it!!

Last but not least I would like to remind you that we have a new challenge going on over here. It is to use 3 from a given recipe you can find over here.

Have a fab thursday all!!
