Farewell June Guest Designer Sharla Laursen

I want to thank Sharla for a fabulous month on behalf of Karen and the YNS Design Team. She was an absolute pleasure to work with! If you missed her bright and whimsical introduction, you can see it here.

Here is Sharla’s last project for the month of June – won’t you go over and say hi for us and tell her she showcased YNS really well?


Look at how fun these mini Fhiona images are. She showcased Mini Cupcake Cutie and Mini Rainy Day.

Thanks again, Sharla. It’s never a goodbye, but a see you later!

Sharla Laursen
Blog: This Thing Called Life

Hi everyone, I’m so excited to be joining YNS as a guest designer this month, I love playing with their challenges and using the amazing sketches and fun inspiration pictures, plus all their adorable images and products! 

Here is a little about me, my name is Sharla and I live in sunny Southern Utah.  I have two adult children, my son is 23 and in the police academy in Vegas, my daughter is 18 and just graduated high school last month.  I also have 3 grown step-daughters and the oldest is about to make us grandparents!!   I have been marrried for just over 3 years and appreciate my husband and his patience with me and my need to be creative.

Some of my passions are reading, travel, scrapbooking, cardmaking, DIY projects, wood projects,  & movies.  I LOVE anything fantasy, my favorite movies are Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, The Notebook, and many more.  I love diet coke and chocolate, love blog hopping and am always amazed that all the talent out there in blogland and from all of you! 

I hope that I can provide a little inspiration as well, while I am guest designing this month, can’t wait to see what everyone creates!! 

Here is Sharla’s first YNS card for the month and I know she’ll be bringing more fabulous inspiration throughout the month:

We know YNS fans are the best so please head on over to Sharla’s blog and give her a big YNS welcome!

Introducing Our May Guest Designer!

Hello!  Are you ready to meet our fabulous Guest Designer this month? Please give a warm welcome to Shuly Cartes!


Hello crafty friends!
My name is Shuly and i was asked to be Your Next Stamp’s guest designer for May.
I’ll never be too thankful for this invitation! YNS images are so sweet and cheerful, I always have a great time working with them!

I’m a married mum of 4 little girls, I live in south east France. I often find myself rushing through the day and so scraping is a great opportunity to take a break! I started a couple of years ago and I learnt a lot by watching videos and cards other people made. I find challenges are a great way of discovering new ideas and making new friends. Hope you’ll enjoy playing along as much as I did ! see you around soon!
Hugs


Shuly

Here is a beautiful card that Shuly made using Ellie Loves Chocolate:

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful rest of your weekend!

 Hi, my name is Kerry and I’m a mom to 2 fabulous kids, and work part time in IT for our local school board.  I’ve been stamping for approximately 6 years now and I’ve been blessed to design for some fabulous companies.  When I’m not playing with my family or stamping, I’m usually working with our puppy Cooper, or reading!  I’m thrilled to be joining the amazingly talented YNS team for August and can’t wait to show you what’s in store this month!

Here is a fabulous card she created featuring the adorable YNS stamp Madison!

This is so cute! I love the colors she used on her card and the layout looks very much like our current YNS Challenge sketch

September Guest Designer and a New Design Team Member!

Hey everyone!  I am thrilled that I have the pleasure of introducing this month’s guest designer along with a new addition to the YNS team!

First up please help me give a warm welcome to this month’s guest designer, Tonya!

Hello. My name is Tonya Hopkins. I am a 39 year old college student, Mom to 2 beautiful girls & the wife to my high school sweetheart. We reside on the coast of North Carolina.
I have been crafting in one form or another for over 18 years, with decorative painting at the forefront. Several years ago, a friend introduced me to stamping, but I did not get serious about it until October of 2008. In October 2008, I stumbled upon a stamping forum and it really peaked my interest. As they say, the rest is history. Stamping is now my passion. Cards are my favorite to create, but I also enjoy making 3D projects and recycling things as well.
I am honored and excited to be a guest designer for YNS!


Isn’t her card using Rosa from Mexico just adorable?!

And last, but certainly not least I am thrilled to announce that Tracy Valure has agreed to join the Your Next Stamp design team!  I’m sure you all remember her, she was one of our amazing guests last month!

Here is her fabulous card using Geek but Unique!  This is one of my favorite YNS stamps, I just love those big glasses!

We are thrilled to have you with us and can not wait to see all of your amazing creations!

Hugs,
Peg
