no dies, no dsp, just stamp and ink-layers allowed

Please welcome our Guest Designer

Laurie 

Hi everyone! Laurie here from Stamping Up North. I'm so excited to be guest designing here at Inkspirational! I started paper crafting about 10 years ago when my hubby and I became empty nesters and I was looking for a new hobby. One stamp led to another, and you know the familiar story....I was hooked! I love to spend the long cold Minnesota winters making cards in my craft room. I love using dies, and I would say my style is clean and layered. I look forward to seeing all your amazing cards in the gallery!

Challenge #150 Word Prompt- Gift

Welcome back to Inkspirational (staying with you all through the holiday period, btw!). This week we want to see your creations prompted by the word 'gift'.

Please welcome our Guest Designer :

Valentyna 

My name is Valentyna.  I am a happy mom of two smart kids, who keep me active and busy all the time. When I am not a mom, I am a piano teacher. I like teaching and enjoy it for 20 years. As we moved to Canada I fell in love with paper crafting. Stamps, inks, die cuts, embellishments are wonderful to use, but the paper is the more exciting thing and it is my favorite. I share my creation at Flourishtina.com. Please, stop by sometime. I will be happy to see you
