Hello, hello! Welcome back to our second day of farewells. Yesterday we posted a summary of Veronica’s cards and today, we’re sending off Tanja Kewel-Neef. If you missed Tanja’s introduction post, you can read it HERE.
Tanja has such a unique style. She knows how to use her white space and draw the recipients’ eyes to the focus of their cards. You’ll see what I mean as we do a review of all the projects she created with us:
Thank you for all your hard work, Tanja! Hoping to see you hangin’ with YNS again soon!
Please visit Tanja’s blog to see more of her fun projects. Thanks for joining us today.

Welcome to Tuesday, friends! On Sunday, I introduced our first March guest designer, Tanja, and now I’m back to introduce you to our second guest, Veronica! Veronica is no stranger to Your Next Stamp; she’s been a regular DT member in the past. We’re very fortunate that she’s back with us this month and I’m looking forward to seeing all the projects she creates with us this month.
I am a stay at home Mother of two boys. I have been a stamper since 2003 when I was invited to join a neighborhood card swap. I am an avid bird watcher and I also love photography. My favorite thing about stamping is the friendships I have made along the way!

Here is Veronica’s first project with us:
The images used in her card is from the Basket Animals set:
What a sweet and simple card!

Hello, hello! Welcome to March, lovelies. I hope you’re having a wonderful weekend so far. March is going to be an awesome month – with spring just around the corner (really!), the Design Team will be bringing you lots of inspiration! We also have two guest designers joining us this month and they’ll be joining us in our March release with sneak previews in less than a week away!
Our first guest that I’m introducing comes to us all the way from Germany! She’s sure got spunk and I love her simple and humorous style. You’ll see exactly what I mean in the coming month when you see her projects for Your Next Stamp. Please help me in welcoming Tanja Kewel-Neef:
I live in Germany somewhere between Hanover and Hamburg. Together with my hubby and our two kids.
I’ve been a paper crafter since I don’t know when. I did this and that. The first time I held my first rubberstamp in my hand, I found my real passion. My main occupation isn’t very creative. But I searched and found satisfaction in paper crafting.
I love to make cards. Mostly my style is clean and simple. I LOVE monster stamps!!!! I can’t get enough of them. I buy every monster stamp I see. When I would like to make a card and it doesn’t work, my day is done and I’m angry!!! A little bit 🙂
Almost all of my cards get a black-line border. Without this border they are not complete (in my opinion).
I’m glad to be a part of the crafty community. It means a lot to me and I’m very happy that I get to have fun every day. To learn more about me, please go visit my blog.
I love, LOVE this fun card from Tanja! She sure wasn’t kidding when she said she loved monsters. Just had to prove her point with making a monster card as her introductory project.
To see more from Tanja, please head on over to her blog.

Happy weekend, YNS fans! I hope that you’re having a good one so far. I know that most of you have had a long and dreadful winter and we’ve been lucky to have Tara Godfrey bringing a little sunshine via her projects on our blog! I can’t believe it’s the end of February already and that we’re sending Tara off with a farewell! Please help me in sending her off, YNS style.
Her fun and multi-layer designs are truly unique to Tara and each and every project amazed me as they came through my inbox! If you missed Tara’s introduction post, please click to read HERE.
Without further ado, here’s a review of our February Guest Designer:
Thank you so much for all your fabulous creations, Tara! Don’t be a stranger to YNS. To see more from Tara, make sure you head over to her blog.
Hi, I’m Tara (Tar-ah). I live in Ontario, Canada about a 45 minute drive from Toronto. I’m married to a great guy, Chris, and we have two awesome kids, Hannah and Kieran and two cute cats, Liam and Kato! I work full-time outside the home as an American Sign Language/English interpreter for the Canadian Hearing Society, a large non-profit organization.
I started out scrapbooking shortly after my son was born…about 13 years ago. Several years later, I stumbled across cute stamped images that could be coloured with Copic markers…I was totally hooked!!! Soon after that, I started a blog, Inking on the Edge, and became involved in the on-line paper-crafting community and I’ve been very fortunate to have had the opportunity to design and teach for several local scrapbooking stores, popular stamp companies and challenge blogs! I LOVE the layered/embellished look usually with the addition of a “cute” stamped image. I spend all my free time getting inky, colouring up those cute stamped images with my Copics and die-cutting until my hearts content.

Hello and happy weekend, friends! I hope that you’re all enjoying the last weekend before we all have to go back to work and the kids go back to school. We hope that you’ve had a great start of the new year!
Our January Guest Designer should be no stranger to you. Please help me in welcoming Peggy Toole (back) to Your Next Stamp!
Hey everyone, Peggy here! I just could not stay away from YNS for long and when Karen asked me to be a guest this month I just could not say no! For those of you that haven’t “met” me yet I have been stamping for about 10 years now, wow time flies, and have been a fan of Karen’s and YNS for over 4 years! I am thrilled to be here for this month and can’t wait to share all my creations with you.
************
Here is Peggy’s debut card with us this month:
This card sure brings some warmth to our current winter at the moment. I am sure that Peggy thought the same when she was creating this card (I personally know how much she loves snow – ha!). The YNS images that Peggy used can be found in our Cactus and Flower Fun set:
Head on over to Peggy’ blog to learn more about her HERE.
Thanks for hanging out with us today. Have a wonderful start to your week!

Good morning! Today we celebrate our fabulous December Guest Designer, Suzanne Bier.
We’ve had a great time having her join us this month and we know that she put her all into making her projects. Her enthusiasm shined through and I’ll even share that right after we got her settled in, she sent me an email with photos of FIVE different projects ready to go! lol How’s that for productive!
If you missed Suzanne’s introduction post, please click to read HERE.
This is a review of all the projects she created with us this month:
Thank you for all your hard work, Suzanne! Please help me send Suzanne off with a YNS farewell.
We hope that you are enjoying your week so far. I am excited to introduce you to our final guest in 2014! She’s also a dear friend of mine and a familiar face to YNS. Please help me in welcoming Suzanne:
Hi, everybody! My name is Suzanne Bier. I live in northern Virginia with my dear husband and our sweet (and spoiled) dachshund. I’ve been stamping and coloring with Copics for more than four years, but have been crafting for as long as I can remember! Although most of my projects are cards, I love working in techniques from other crafts into my creations! I’m so excited to be guest designing this month for Your Next Stamp, and I’m looking forward to sharing my cards with all of you! I’d love it if you’d visit me at my blog to say hello!

Here’s Suzanne’s first project with us using my favourite holiday stamp set, the Ugly Sweater:
I love how Suzanne has showcased the different sweaters you can make in this single set! Here’s all the different combinations you can make:
Please visit Suzanne on her blog and give her some YNS love! I’m sure looking forward to seeing what she has up her sleeve this month.
Thanks for coming by today and Maureen will be on the blog tomorrow with another Whatcha Watching video.
