A Farewell and A Welcome

We would like to thank Amelia for the amazing projects she created during her time as our September guest designer.  Once again she has created this lovely card using the Audrey with a cupcake, I love the soft color choices and the embellies she has used.

For you last card, she has used Rainy Cynthia with a  beautiful patterned paper.  I love the scalloped oval and the flowers and pearls are just the perfect touch!

You can follow more of Amelia's wonderful work on her blog Stamped for the Occassion.

Now we are excited to introduce our October guest designer, Kerstin Klitzsch. Be sure to check back this month as she will be sharing her amazing talents with us.

For her first card, she has created this fantastic card using the Rainy Cynthia image.  I love the summery colors she has used as here in MO fall has quickly arrived and those warm summer days are gone.  I love the sentiment she chose "Cherish Each Moment" as this is so true! With my kiddos going back to school and oldest being a Freshman and youngest a Kindergartener I think "where did the time go, my babies are all grown up!"

 Check out more of her work on her blog Kerstin's Kartenblog.

Introducing Amelia, Our September Guest Designer

Hello, I am Amelia Breytenbach and I won the guest designer spot for The Stamping Boutique for September – what a wonderful opportunity and privilege.

I am married for 26 years to Nico, my biggest supporter, and we live in Pretoria, South Africa with our two dogs. I am a librarian at a large residential university for the past 30 years and still enjoy my professional job. But when I am off duty I keep myself busy with card making - I just love it. I have been stamping for 6 years now but started blogging and enter challenges since February this year. I have a variety of stamps from several companies, local and abroad. I am a newbie to digi stamps and really enjoy the advantages and ease of use of these stamps. My first card with a digi stamp was actually with a TSB image! I use different colouring techniques for my cards but my favourite is watercolour pencils and odourless mineral spirits.

Choosing the images from The Stamping Boutiques’s collection was quite challenging as all of them are just awesome. Thanks for the opportunity to showcase these digi stamps on my cards and share the projects on your challenge blog.
