TUESDAY FREEBIE!

Since I've been so busy with my petsitting business I thought this would be a fun image for a freebie this week:)

TUESDAY FREEBIE - "IMAGINE"

Seems funny to not have a challenge for you this week but I wanted to keep posting a weekly freebie for you all, you have been such wonderful friends of Michelle Perkett Studio and you all deserve something special each week!

I know this is a "recycled" image from one of our Papercraft Planet parties and some of you may already have this one but I thought it would be a good one to start off the school year with. There are endless possibilities for the new year, so much to learn and this is the time of year when all of our returning students imagine the most I think! I hope you enjoy this one and I'll look for you next week with another fun freebie!

Michelle

Ali Stanney - Guest Designer

This is our last week for our Guest Designer.

I am sad to see it come to an end.

I would like to thank everyone that participated with us.

All the projects have been so fabulous.

This week is no exception!!

We have Ali Stanney with us this week.

She has two gorgeous projects to share with us week but first lets learn a little about Ali...

I am 41 years old or young, depending on which way you like to look at it, and discovered cardmaking about 5 years ago, when I took a temporary break from my job as an infant school teacher after working for 15 years, to look after my family. I have been married to Simon for almost 19 years and our 3 little ones are aged 11yrs, 6yrs and 4yrs. Almost 6 years later I have become a full-time SAHM and care for our youngest who has Autism. I mainly use digi images although I do own a few rubber stamps, I still need to practise as I'm not great at it so far! I love my Bigshot, and have way too many dies and embossing folders, and don't use them nearly as often as I should! There are so many new products and techniques out there I'm looking forward to trying at some point in the future, and I can't wait to see the possible new directions my cardmaking may take!. The Autumn will see an exciting new start for me, as he will be starting school and I will have time to dedicate to other things. I look forward to volunteering at our local Opportunity Group for preschool children with special needs, where I  will be introducing lots of craft and sensory-play activites. I have only been blogging for about a year, but have met some truly  wonderful people along the way. I am delighted and honoured to be a GDT for Michelle Perkett Studios, as I LOVE Michelle's work and the challenges the team bring us each week...thanks for having me!

Now look at what she created to share with us using

Air from the Four Elements Series.

Aren't these gorgeous!!

Thanks so much Ali for being our Guest Designer this week!

Thank you DT Challenge!!

Wow, it's hard to believe this is our last challenge here on the blog! It has been a super FUN time full of gorgeous talent by the Design Team and all of those that have participated in the challenges. All I can say is

WOW

and

THANK YOU!

Our challenge this week, should you accept it, is to see any creation with a Thank You theme! You must use a Michelle Perkett Studio image in your project please.

Just in case you need a little extra inspiration, Michelle has offered a fantastic freebie this week at the beginning of this post.

Thank YOU Michelle! Not only for the freebie but for such lovely art for us to create and design with!

Here's a special note from Michelle to everyone:

Dear Friends of Michelle Perkett Studio,

As you know, I will be closing my Papercraft Planet group on Sept 1st and this week will be the last MPS Challenge here on our challenge blog and this week's challenge is a thank you to our wonderful DT ladies that have done such an amazing job inspiring us everyday. I want to thank all of our beautiful ladies for their hard work, incredible creativity and inspiration and of course for their friendship. You are all such talented and lovely women and I am so proud to call you my MPS Mermaids! Thank you girls for all that you have done for me and for our members and I wish you all the best in your future creative adventures!

I also would like to thank all of my Papercraft Planet members for your friendship and creativity over the last 2 years. Thank you to all of you for your lovely comments and for your participation in our challenges and of course for all your visits to my Etsy shop! I look forward to keeping in touch with all of you at the MPS Facebook page and on my personal blog for updates on my art business, new sketches and digital stamp designs and creative and inspirational posts as well! Thank you to all of you, you have all been such a blessing to me! We all look forward to your thank you creations this week!

And as an extra special thank you, I will be having a 50% off Sale for the duration of our Thank You DT Challenge this week until next Monday at 5 PM Pacific! Thank you all so much and I look forward to keeping in touch with all of you!

My name is Lizzy and I am 7 years old.  I will be starting 2nd grade next week and am very excited.  I just love spending time with my mom and sister doing crafts and making cards.  I've been crafting with my mom for as long as I can remember.  I love to add embellishments and bling to my creations whenever my mom let's me use her stash.  I also like to play outside on the swings and go to the park.  My favorite place to visit is the zoo.

Now look at this gorgeous card Lizzy

created using Eva the Glam Mermaid.

Thanks so much Lizzy for your inspiration this week!
