Welcome to a new DT member - Patricia St Martin

Some exciting news!!! 

 

Patricia St Martin has just joined the Digistamps4Joy Design Team! Pat is based in Wisconsin USA, and makes the most stunning Copic coloured cards - watch out for her cards in our future blog posts! Her blog address is http://rubberstampingismygame.blogspot.com/

I have always loved all kinds of crafting starting from a young girl, taking Art in school, crocheting, knitting, sewing and many other kinds of crafts. I have been creating and designing cards for more time than any of my other crafts I have done. I started with copic markers in November 2009, so now I'm a copic junkie. My copics go where I go. One of my loves is all the beautiful papers and all the fun embellishments and they are so unlimited. When I start a card I never know what my card is going to turn out to be, I just pick out my paper and start coloring and let the creating begin. I fell in love with digital stamps because they are so hard to mess up when you stamp them but I have my many stamps from many different companies. I have been married for 47 years to Richard. Have 3 wonderful sons David is 44 married and has a daughter, Kurt is 40 married with 2 children and Robert not married and 1 child. Four of the best grand children in the world - Aiden, Emma, Haleigh and Isaiah. We have lived in Kenosha, Wisconsin, USA for 39 years. 

Welcome Pat and may your stay with DS4J be a happy and fruitful one!

Mid-challenge #96 - For the Boys

Mid-challenge #96 - For the BOYS

Our challenge is hosted by RIETTE and the theme is ...

 "FOR THE BOYS"  

This challenge will run for 2 weeks  from Wednesday 9 July to Tuesday 22 July 2014.

Riette here and it is my absolute pleasure to host the new DS4J challenge. We've just had Father's Day but since I LOVE making boy (old and young) cards I thought we'd have fun with them again! You can create a card for any occasion as long as it is masculine! Think cars, nautical, or sports and whatever the boys in your life love! Have fun and link up below!

Remember to link your projects up in Mr Linky.

We would love you to use a DS4J image, but any stamped or digi image will be OK ..... you will get an extra chance if you do use a Digistamps4Joy image

Don't forget you must use a digital stamp or rubber stamp!

And now, for some more inspiration from the talented DS4J Design Team "B" 

aNNie (image = "The catch")

ASMAH (image - "Lighthouse" and "Sailboat")

BERNI (image = "Tastes good")

GLORIA (image = "Dad's Austin")

JACKIE (image = "Einstein wannabee")

JULIE ODIL (image = "My anchor")

MARGARET (image = "Musician on a hill")

TONNIE (images = "Handyman")

URSULA (image = "Dad's Austin")

Enter your paper projects (maximum 3 entries per person, each from a separate blog post) in Mr Linky HERE, and let us all share in your wonderful creations! The randomly drawn winner will win THREE images of your choice from the store, and 2 runners up 1 image each.  Of course, if you use a Digistamps4Joy image, you could win the big prize of $10 of images, and could be chosen as our Guest Designer!

Please remember to link your POST and not your blog.

Also, you must create a link on your blog back to this challenge post!
