Left of Center New Design Team Members!

Just recently we were sad to say goodbye to several of our Design Team members. Friday saw the final projects from the ladies of The Weird Scissors and we wish them well for the future and are sad to say farewell.

But on to happier news. We posted a DT call and are delighted today to announce your brand new inspirational design team members here at LOC.

Please Welcome:

Anna Spencer

I live on the South East coast of the UK, I have been crafting for a number of years. My passion is Alternative Art/Mixed Media. I am so happy to be part of this wonderful design team. xx

Ana Isobel

Hi! I'm Ana Isabel, a Spanish vet and animal lover who supports animal advocates and help local animal rescue groups in my city, Madrid (Spain-Europe). I live with my cat (Red mullet), I love him!!!! He is my baby. Apart from working and defending the animal rights, I like colouring digital stamps with Copic or other brands and making different scrapbooking projects. This is a big opportunity for me to learn a lot and meet amazing people! I hope you like my projects! Only a word: "Thanks".

Genny Ranson

I am so excited to be a part of this wonderful DT. I live in the middle of nowhere, otherwise known as the Snowdonia National Park in Wales. I share my home with my 10 cats and one very patient dog called Reg. All my days are filled with crafting and I can't think of any where I'd sooner be.

Tit Belsoeur

I am French, living close to Versailles, mom of 2 grownups, so proud to be here with you as a DT !

Wendy "Paper Whims" Waldorf

Hi, my name is Wendy. I am so happy to be a part of the Left of Center Design Team!

I have always loved playing with paper. I like to color digital and rubber stamp designs  that can be used for cards, magnets and jewelry. I also like to alter and recycle existing items when I can. I enjoy trying new techniques and am always looking for ways to improve my art. I hope my samples will be an inspiration to others.

Erin Stephenson

Hi everyone! I am a veterinary technician living in NY who loves to pen pal and make cards in my spare time. I have never been good at crafts since I can barely draw a straight line with a ruler but I was determined to give it a go. I love learning all the different techniques and ways to craft. I'm starting to branch out and learn new things such as mixed media and journaling. How exciting.

We are delighted to have these wonderfully talented ladies join us at LOC and hope you will enjoy their projects coming soon!

Love the weathered wood effect and the layered stamps in the background. She created a lovely vintage feel to this Steampunk plaque.

#18 - Carol

Wonderful texture and vintage quality using distress inks and distressed edges.

#26 - Kathi Rerek

I love how she has combined steampunk & underwater elements to expand on the digi stamp's theme. The blue stenciled backing paper was an especially nice touch. Fabulous colouring too!

#24 - Mimi

fabulous embossing - loved all the explanation.

#23 - Margreet

She has managed to create a card with light and feel that's built up of many complex layers.

#6 - Jennifer

Wonderful color choice, it's so bright and cheerful! The layers and the distressing are well done, so many treats for the eyes to look at!

Challenge #79 Black and White Plus One Colour with Lacy Sunshine

What on earth happened to the sunshine!? If you know - please send it back to the UK... we don't have much of it and it's making it hard to get creative wrapped in fleecy blankets! However, we do manage and this week we've been playing with some images from Lacy Sunshine.

Our theme this week is Black and White Plus One Colour. We would love to see your creations this week and can't wait to see what rainbow of colours will appear on the linky tool by the end of the week.

I think that when you see the team's creations you will get some fabulous inspiration - just take a look at these! And remember - you can always go LOC and then you're not restricted by colour!
