Challenge #64–September 10, 2011

2011-09-10T02:00:00.000-05:00

Hi – happy weekend! Welcome to the Waltzingmouse Stamps Sketch Challenge blog, bringing you inspiration and enthusiasm for Waltzingmouse Stamps each week. We hope that you will find our samples so inspiring that you will play along with us.

I’m happy to share some great news with you today. The Mischief Makers welcome two well-known players from the WMS Sketch Challenge onto their Mischief Makers’ team; Renee Lynch and Teresa Kline!

Hi, my name is Renee Lynch, and I’m a 41 year old SITCM (stay in the car Mom) to 4 incredible kids that are the reason I breathe. I have 2, 14 year twin girls, and two boys, 9 and 5 years old. I’ve been married for 19 years to love-of-my-life, and we live in a country home in Tennessee, just outside of Nashville. I’m an avid book reader, and will read almost any genre. I’ve been creating cards for about a year and half, but have always been crafty; painting, sewing, and cross stitching. I’ve been blogging since January, and have met some of the greatest people imaginable since I began blogging. My blog is where I talk about whatever...kids, cards, food, books, my obsession with the ID channel where I get to help the FBI solve crimes.

Hi, I am Teresa Kline and I could not be happier to join the Waltzingmouse Mischief Makers. I am happily married and, my husband Gary is so very supportive of my creating and my dreams. I have always had a creative spirit; I’ve dabbled with scrapbooking, but get the most pleasure from making a handmade card and sending it to others. What better way to show an expression of love to others than with a handmade card? I send cards to family, friends, people in our church, and others that I may find out about through forums and blogging.

I have had the honor of being on numerous design teams and have met the most amazing people, that is such a blessing! I luv a good challenge, especially a sketch challenge to get me thinking and inspired. I am thrilled to be here as a Mischief Maker and super excited about the future! I hope that I can inspire you as much as I have been inspired!

Please stop by their blogs and congratulate them. We are thrilled to have Renee and Teresa join us.

Let’s begin this week by announcing the Top Mouse awards from last week’s Sketch Challenge.

Hi – happy weekend! Welcome to the Waltzingmouse Stamps Sketch Challenge blog, brining you inspiration and enthusiasm for Waltzingmouse Stamps each week. We hope that you will find our samples so inspiring that you will play along with us.

We have some exciting news to share with you today. The Mischief Makers want to welcome Karin Åkesdotter. Karen has been a consistent participant in the WMS Sketch Challenge and her designs have caught our eye on many occasions.

My name is Karin Åkesdotter (Peppermint Patty) and I'm from Gothenburg, Sweden where I live with my very supportive husband Mikael and our sweet son Ted (2½). I’ve been doing arts and crafts for as long as I can remember; sewing, knitting, drawing, paper crafting, watercolor painting, clay work etc. I even chose this path for my career and studied arts and crafts with a focus on textiles for 5 years at the University of Gothenburg and since 1997 I've been employed, full-time, as a textile/needlework teacher at a junior high school. I love my work which is both inspiring and very creative, but I still love to come home and create on my own whenever I can find time for it!

I love Waltzing Mouse Stamps and I am super excited to be joining all the talented designers in the Mischief Makers’ sketch challenge team and hope that my cards will give you some inspiration.

Please stop by Karin’s blog and congratulate her. We are thrilled to have her join us.

Challenge #59–August 6, 2011

Hi – Happy Saturday. Welcome to the Waltzingmouse Stamps Sketch Challenge blog, brining you inspiration and enthusiasm for Waltzingmouse Stamps each week. We hope that you will find our samples so inspiring that you will play along with us.

Before we being the challenge this week, we are happy to introduce you to two new Mischief Makers. Both ladies have been avid supporters of the WMS Sketch Challenges and have been been selected as a Top Mouse in the past.

First up, may I introduce Iwona Palamountain also know as Chupa.

Hello! I'm a SAHM to a lil' cutie pie Zuzia, and have a very supportive husband. I've been crafty all my life, and I tried a number of things, before I settled down for paper crafting two years ago. I love having a creative outlet that lets me give my ideas a physical form. Creating cards is my main passion, and I love sending them to my friends and family!

I'm very excited to join the Mischief Makers, and I hope my work will give you some inspiration. My blog: Random Acts Of Creativity http://ipalamountain.blogspot.com/

and next, say hello to Kim Duran

Hi! I am a mom of two - a boy and a girl, and am engaged to a great man who also has two grown children of his own. Together, we share a happy home, complete with one spoiled labradoodle and a newly adopted tabby kitten.

I enjoy creating cards and other paper crafts as a hobby to share with my friends and family. They always tease me because I've been known to take my craft with me everywhere I go! You can find me crafting in our trailer during camping trips, blogging about my crafts during my lunch break, or reading craft magazines during road trips! Most importantly, this hobby has allowed me to teach my children about sharing what they create with others and to find inspiration in their surroundings. Plus, it's so fun to get our hands dirty in the craft supplies and make a mess together!

I am beyond thrilled for this opportunity to create alongside the talented designers of the Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenges! Thank you for welcoming me!

Please stop by Iwona Palamountain and Kim Duran ’s blogs to welcome them.

Now, on with the challenge for this week, we are thrilled to announce the Top Mouse awards from last week’s Sketch Challenge.
