Ladybug Crafts Ink TLT Challenge Blog

I started my blog Ladybug Crafts Ink for fun 4 1/2 years ago not thinking anyone would be interested but I started getting followers and when I brought out my first line of stamps Nikki & Friends a few of my followers suggested I start a DT and then a Challenge blog. I like to think my blog is fun, whimsical and light hearted with mostly card related subjects and the odd family moment thrown in for good measure. I try to keep my posts short and sweet but somehow that rarely happens so if you visit make sure you put the kettle on first! – Kerry

Sangui(knit)ie

Hi! My name is Cate, and I run Sangui(knit)ie, a creative lifestyle blog. It’s dedicated to all aspects of living a creative life and finding happiness through making things, from the crafty to the higher-brow arts, finding the common threads that bind all of our creative urges, messes and experiences together. I believe that happiness is in the making of things, that dreams were meant to be big, and life is best lived colorfully. You too? Stop on over and say hi! – Cate

Want to Get Crafty?

Hey there.  I started ‘Want to get Crafty?’ as a website where crafts could be looked up for craft parties I host.  Craft parties are where you get together with some of your friends and I’ll come over with all the supplies to make an adorable craft.  The parties have been so much fun.  During the parties, many people asked me if I sold my crafts and how to make them.  So, I decided to start a blog about the crafts I create.  Besides crafting, I love to cook for my friends and family so you can also find some of my favorite recipes.  Come and check me out and create something spectacular for yourself. – Dusti

You Could Be Wishing On A Star

You Could Be Wishing On A Star is my little corner of Blogland to share my creations, tips, tricks and ideas. I’ve always been interested in crafting, and I love to share what I’ve learned.  While it’s primarily handmade cards, there are sometimes sewing projects, scrapbook pages, altered items … maybe even a recipe here and there!  I love learning new techniques, so it’s hard for me to pinpoint a particular style for my projects. From Stampscapes to digital stamps, soft and sweet to dark and snarky, I feel that there’s a little something for everyone.

I love to share tutorials and inspiration I’ve found on the web, and even have a page where I list some of my favorite challenge blogs and their current challenges. Mostly, I hope readers are inspired by my blog, that they see something that makes them want to jump up and create something of their own. I do hope you’ll stop by and visit! – Star

Crafty Loops

My blog is a mix of different crafts genres, from Bookbinding to flower making, from altered art to charm making.  I very much enjoy sharing my creations with people but also sharing my secrets, knowledge, techniques and tricks of the trade. I am very fond of the Shabby Chic, vintage style of crafting but I never limit myself to just one style or type of crafting.  Im pretty well known for my flowers and stickpin making.  So when you visit my blog, you will find a lot of the projects that I love to create but I also like to share pictorial and video tutorials showing how I make my projects so others can have a go too.  You will find tutorials on how to make things from the simplest of flowers to doing a step by step guide to making a book from scratch.  My blog is my little hideaway cupboard where I store all the little things I love to make and share with others but with a little bit of Irish humour thrown in for good measure. – Lee

Gaal Creative

Hi! My name is Anne Gaal (rhymes with “smile”). I am a mixed media artist, digital scrapper, stamper and card-maker, photographer, mentor, and more. I’m a creative experimenter who doesn’t always color within the lines and who has a lot of fun making a big mess while making something beautiful. I love to create, discover new things, and share what I’ve learned along the way on my blog, Gaal Creative. I often share tutorials, tips, and hints in a way that makes the complex seem simple. I hope you’ll take a moment to pop over and let me know you stopped by! – Anne
