New DT Members

Over the next three weeks let me introduce you to our

three new DT members who will be joining us in August.

Amy  Ottmers

Hi, my name is Amy.  I am a stay at home mother to three amazing children.  My daughter is 17 and my two boys are 16 and 12, they keep me full of life and very busy at times. We live in Georgetown, Texas which is right outside of Austin, TX.  After growing up in a military family it is nice to stay in one place for a while.  I love to travel and of course craft.  I started scrapbooking 16 years ago and have been making cards for 6, I love both but right now card making is my favorite.  My style is more CAS then anything but I love trying new techniques and of course learning all styles. I'm very excited to be joining the DT for Cardz 4 Guyz!!!

**************

So, what do we have planned for you for the next week?

DT CALL & Challenge # 79 No Designer Paper

Hello, welcome to our weekly challenge blog which aims to help you create cards for the 

GUYZ   (of all ages,)  in your life.  We help you to see that making such cards is not difficult .
Thanks to those who joined us in our sketch challenge, we were disappointed in the 
small number of entries compared with our record breaking number last week,  but we accept the weather in the UK has been more for gardening than crafting.
Julie has chosen her top 3 - in numerical order ....

Guest Designers for July

We are so pleased to welcome for the month of July

 two Guest Designers.

We have a welcome return of

 Lynne 

Hi, I'm Lynne and am so happy to be the Guest Designer,

 second timearound,  for this amazing blog!

You can find me at Her Craftiness (http:// slasewcraftiness.blogspot.com/).

I am the very proud grandma of 6 beautiful grandchildren, ages 9 and under.

 My home is found in Elizabeth, PA which is close to Pittsburgh

 (ever hear of the Pittsburg Steelers?) in the United States! I love to create and have been

creating forever, learning from my grandmother and aunt beginning with sewing,

 knitting and crocheting.  I started doll sculpting in 1991 after losing my 

youngest daughter and also fell in love with making quilts at that time, as I had made

 a quilt using pieces of her clothing for my first quilt.

 It's only been since the last seven years or more that I started paper crafting with

scrapbooking and making cards.  I love to be challenged along with making

personlized cards not only for my family but my friends. 

*******************

Please also welcome for the second time

Sharon

Hi Everyone – my name is Sharon and I live Down under in Australia. I’ve been crafting for at least half my life and am predominately a card maker but I do like to dabble in altered art and journaling. I love to think outside the square and use a bit of humour in my creations! I’m excited to be a guest Designer here at Cardz 4 Guyz and hope to give you all some inspiration for creating cards for guys – always the hardest to make!
