Hello crafty friends and a warm welcome to our From the Heart Stamps October Blog Hop! This month we have a ‘Meet the Design Team’ theme where our fab designers will be sharing their gorgeous creations with you and also some facts about themselves too. As you hop along please leave a comment on each blog because there are goodies to be won! One random commenter will be selected on each blog to win an image of choice from the FTHS store. Also, on the blog there will be a game with the chance of more prizes 🙂
So here are a few facts about myself!
My favourite colouring technique: I love using my Spectrum Noir and Spectrum Aqua Markers.
My crafting space: Very small! I have a small desk in a corner of my bedroom!
Favourite category of images in the FTHS store?: This is difficult! Can I have 3?!! Christmas, Birdbrains and Pigwits!
What emoji do I use most often?: Smiley face 🙂
What is your favourite craft space organisational tip?: My alcohol markers are housed in a fab storage system on my desk. So not only are they stored correctly – nice and flat, but they are all in their correct colour ‘families’. This makes it easier to find the right blend group.
If you have arrived here from the blog of the lovely Jo then you are in the right place. If not, why not start on the FTHS blog so that you don’t miss anything?
Here is the card that I’m sharing today and I have used Party Hat Birdbrain – how great is he?? It’s hard to chose a favourite From the Heart image, but the sentiments that come with this image are among my favourites!!
Other supplies used were: Patterned papers – ‘Boy Crazy’ by My Mind’s Eye’, Spellbinders pennant and circle die, Kaisercraft rectangle die, balloon die was a free gift in a magazine and last but not least Spectrum Noirs.
Thank you for stopping by on the hop today! Next, head on over to the equally lovely Kathy Curry to see what she has created. The hop will end on Monday 5th October at 6am EST. Remember to comment on each designers blog as the winners will be posted on the From the Heart Blog on Wednesday 7th October. Happy hopping – Karen 🙂
Happy first blog hop Karen 🙂
