Day 4 of TSB Birthday Celebration

 It's Day 4 of our "Birthday Celebration" and boy do I have lots of things to share today!  What do you think of these AMAZING samples of one of the newest TSB images just in time for Halloween?  This is Medusa and as you can see she is so versatile!  Our samples come from 3 very talented ladies:

On the left Heide has created a FANTASTIC Halloween card sure to spook, don't you love all those wonderful embellies?  We are excited to report Heide will be returning as a Senior Designer for the fall/winter term, check out more of her work on her blog Heide D's Paperie.


Front and center Suzi brings us her "Strange things come out at night" card featuring Medusa, perfect paper choices and wonderful coloring along with the perfect sentiment make this card pop!  We bid a fond farewell to Suzi as this is her final DT project, we wish her much success on her new ventures!  Never fear though as you can still follow Suzi on her blog The Manic World of Mrs. Weyremaster.


Lat and certainly not least on our right from our FABULOUS leader and artist extraordinaire, Tracey Malnofksi has created this beauty! Doesn't it just look like Medusa is looking right through you with those piercing eyes?  Check out Tracey's blog My Little Art Blog to see this lady's talents!

What about the new Princess Jennifer Latte Breast Cancer Awareness dressed to nine and has traded her normal latte in for a little champagne to celebrate?  Now talk about a versatile image, I have used her in my "Think Pink: card for the challenge TSB is sponsoring over at Sunday Sketch and Stamp this week, but she would work for any of the awareness ribbons. Head over and join the challenge and you could win this GORGEOUS image or if you don't want to wait pick her up in the store this weekend for 35% off!

Meet Our August Guest Designer

Isn't this card AWESOME? Well this beauty is courtesy of our new guest designer for August, Bridget Curnow of Curly Bear Crafts. Here is a little about Bridget:

Hello, My name is Bridget, and I live in the wonderfully picturesque county of Cornwall, with my Patient Husband, our Malamute Buzz, and our two cats Nala and Jasmine, I have lived here all my life and I can't see myself living anywhere else, I have been crafting for about 8 years now and I just love using my Copic's and now my new Prisma pencils, which I got last month, I like using both digi's and rubber stamps and I'm an absolute paper addict, lol.

 

The card on the right in another gorgeous creation from Bridget using an image from the enchantment line called In bloom.  This lovely card was submitted to our monthly contest and how Bridget was selected to join the team this month.  Would you like a chance to be a guest designer, check out the deets over at our monthly contest here.  Be on the lookout for more inspiring projects from Bridget over the next month.  If you would like to pick up these images, check out links below:
