I know I've been pretty bad about updating the blog with your creations lately, and the reason for this is two-fold. Firstly, I haven't been getting as many of late, since so many are being submitted as Challenge entries. That's super exciting but be sure to keep sending me your non-entry creations! Secondly, I'm afraid I've been putting in a lot of time at my 'real job', which hasn't left me much freedom for drawing, updating or much else. :o( This makes me sad but, alas, as much as I adore MayzyArt, it's not quite enough to pay the rent. (...yet?)
So I hope y'all will forgive my tardiness and keep those examples coming! I have a special folder in my inbox that they all go into and I promise that, if you've sent me an email, they will all get featured! (...eventually...)
A beautiful card by Karen from Feline Creative. I absolutely love pink and brown as a color combination. It totally makes me think of delicate French chocolates...
This beauty was made by Wench at scrapping.no. How super clever is it that she used Shawna on a pocket card filled with tea??
Finally a fun card created by Camilla at Flowerets' Blogg. Aren't the screw heads clever? She also has another one up with the Lion Tamer stamp that has been entered in the most recent MayzyArt Challenge. Be sure to take a peek!
It's time for the second MayzyArt Challenge! But first, let's announce our winners from round one.

Jo Ann
Hi everyone. My name is Jo Ann and I am a happy
Stay-at-home Mom to my son who's 6 years old and a wife to my husband,
Joseph. I was born and raised in the Philippines but after marriage, I
came to San Antonio, Texas. I love almost all kinds of crafting...Creating
gives me a sense of fulfillment knowing that I give my best in everything I
do. After my son was born, I got into Scrapbooking to document my son’s
growth. Shortly after, I saw a magazine on Cardmaking and I was
hooked. I collected every tool available in the market, taught myself on
different techniques and started giving only handmade cards to friends since
2007. My biggest fan is my son who stays beside me each time I have a
project. I love it when he says, “Mommy, you made the most beautiful
card, ever!” I love my family and thank God for them everyday…
Mom to two wonderful adults, and a house full of animals - two dogs and
two
cats. I started scrapbooking 14 years ago and love to learn new
techniques. When Copic markers first hit the market I resisted ( for a
whole 2 months ), but temptation called and a new addiction bloomed! I
have completed both of the certification levels with Copic, and enjoy
sharing my
passion for coloring in classes and online. When the opportunity came
to
join the design team at Mayzy Art stamps, I jumped at the chance to be
part of
an exciting new challenge blog, and am so excited to join the other dt
members
and be part of this new adventure.
I have been rubber stamping since 1994 and started using digi stamps
sometime in 2010. I love working with them. I mainly color with Copics
but will break out my colored pencils and even my watercolors once in a
while. I love coloring and designing cards. I am married to my husband
of almost 30 years who supports my paper crafting addiction and just
smiles about all the stuff *cough* I mean supplies I have. I am
so excited to be part of Mayzy Arts design team and hope to inspire
many.
Hi!
My name is Darlene Lyons and I live in Ayr, Ontario. I am a SAHM
blessed with two beautiful girls Abigail and Hailey and a wonderful
supportive husband Todd, who gets the addict I've become since being
introduced to scrapbooking five years ago. After having my girls, I
needed some "me time" so I dabbled in all types of paper crafting, and
loved spending time with others who share the same passion for it.
After spending more time at the table than my girls colouring, I needed
to find an adult excuse to colour, which I found in Copics!! The only
thing I like more than creating is buying the things "I need" to
create! LOL With the encouragement of some close friends, I started a
blog at the end of this past year and haven't looked back once.
My name is Lisa and I live in Leicestershire in the UK with my husband
and
little pooch. I have been making cards since January 2010 and love
everything
about it. I don’t think I could ever get bored of making card and tags.
My card
making style is clean and simple. I’m not a big fan of using a lot of
embellishments on my cards. I am, however, I huge fan of patterned
papers and I
love to colour my stamped images!
I didn't have a creative bone
in my body until I decided I needed something keep me out of the cookie
jar. Short story even
shorter...I found card making in March of 2010 and a few months later
discovered copics and that's all she wrote...full blown addict to all
things copic, paper, digital stamps and rubber stamps! I didn't get
brave enough to start blogging and showing other crafters my work until
last June, but I'm so happy I took that leap and discovered the world of
blogging. I live in the beautiful Rocky Mountain state of Colorado
though I'm a born a bred Midwesterner. I hope everyone will enjoy
playing along with us and will enjoy these amazing digis even more.
As the successful Mayzy Monday sale winds to an end, I'm happy to finally post some new stamps. Just some fair warning, posting may be a little slow this week as I am also putting a lot of time into some side projects. No spoilers but you'll appreciate these in the long run. ;-)
Today I'm unveiling the Expecting Mothers set, with three individual stamps or a discounted three-pack. We have Mama Leah, Mama Mina and Mama Yoga.
Wow, have I got a lot to share with you today. First and foremost, I am super excited to announce that the Digi Dancers five pack is now available in my shop! I didn't think I'd have that completed until the weekend! Disco seemed to be a big hit, so I hope you'll like the rest just as well.
I love, love, LOVE the newsprint background! Seeing cards and projects that folks make using MayzyArt stamps just gives me warm tingles all over. You guys are awsomely amazing and I'm sending out big smooches to all of you!!
I'm rather proud of my drawing efforts today, though it came at the cost of my neck. I'm suffering from a serious case of 'artist's neck' and I may have to take tomorrow off to let my poor spine recover. ...I SHOULD, but I probably won't.
I tried to go in a slightly different direction with the stamps that I posted today. They're less 'chibi' than the majority of my other stamps. I am extraordinarily curious how they will go over. What do you think? I sincerely appreciate your constructive criticism. Be brutal, if you need.
