Stitching, Stamping, Stencilling - July Challenge (The SSS Challenge)

Hello, beautiful people Kim here with the July Challenge and a VERY special Guest Designer to help inspire you along with our awesome DT.

 Without further ado, I would like to introduce to you, the marvellous....

  Rachael Funnell

Hello Ladies!

My name is Rachael Funnell

I live on the outskirts of Cowra in NSW with my wonderful husband Jason..

I am lucky enough to be a Stay At Home Mother to our 2 gorgeous children

Ethan who is 10 & 1/2 years & Chloee who will turn 9 on the 2nd of July...

I also run/work a small business with hubby!! Then in my spare time scrapbooking is the thing for me,

I am lucky enough to be on a few Designing Teams

Anna’s Craft Cupboard,   Stuck Sketches,   Green Tara, Twiddleybitz  & as of July Kaisercraft

I find that even after 6 years of scrapbooking my style is still evolving

ATM most of my creations are best described as mixed media, eclectic  with layers, lots of stamping & doubled up photos....

If you were interested in more of my creations my blog is:http://awindowtoomyworld.blogspot.com.au/

A big thanks to Kim for asking me to join in on this month’s Challenge! it was right up my alley!    

Kim has also sent me 3 Questions to answer

Where do you scrap? in my Office/Scraproom.... which I’ve just gave it a make over to work for me better & If you ask hubby he will say what office?

you mean scrapbooking room now..  LOL!

What is on your scrap desk at the moment? a layout in progress for up coming Designing Team work for Kasiercraft...

Tell us who are some of the people that inspire you? In all honesty all Scrappers inspire me...

I do Admire the work of  these VERY TALENTED scrappers.........  Mumkaa aka Magda Bolinska,Georgia Heald,Melinda Thompson, Jasmine Shea,Di Garling,Kim Price,

Kelly Foster, Erin Blegen,Trudi Harrison,Stacey Young,Larissa Albernaz, Helen Tilbury, Cathy Cafun & of course Kim Ewins just to name a few...

 A HUGE thank you to Rachael for joining us this month....
As a lot of you know I love to use machine stitching on most of my layouts and stencils/masks are so very popular at the moment and also most of us have stamps that we really want to use more so.....dada!!

 The July Triple "S" Challenge.....

So I would like to see
1. STITCHING- be it machine stitching or hand-stitching or even draw on stitching.
2. STAMPING
3. STENCILLING/masking. You can use the stencil/mask however you please, (with paint, ink, texture paste).
 here is Rachael's take....
