Hello!



 A very warm welcome to our January challenge.

The theme here at Crafts Galore Encore is always 
Anything Goes and you can enter up to 3 different projects.
This month we are sponsored by the fabulous Oddball Art Co.

Thank you to everyone who found time to join our December challenge. We had some fabulous entries and it is always a pleasure to see what everyone has been creating. The DT had a difficult time selecting favourites!

Are you an December winner?

Check here and, if you are a winner and/or a DT Favourite, please collect a badge from the side bar to proudly display it on your blog. 

We have 3 fabulous new DT members to introduce:

“Make the most of yourself, for that is all there is of you.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson

   Originally from Newington, Connecticut, I have always been able to make a mess. Breaking toys to make new ones came naturally to me. In school I had drawing homework, and tried to get away with doing as little as possible...But I did draw a lot!  In college I had a professor who taught me how to create mood in my drawings. That early art education was the foundation for my move into watercolor, pastel and illustration.

    I live in Florida now, with my perfect husband George and my two cats, Nick and JJ. I am a grandmother who loves to visit and make more messes with my granddaughters.

   Winning awards as a watercolorist and pastel artist is fun, but what I enjoy most is seeing others create with my digis. My online business Artsystamper Digitals, along with the Artsystamper Challenge Blog and TheArtsystamperShop on Etsy, make it possible for me to be a part of the stamping community. I am so very grateful for the friends I have made, and for their support.

   Enjoy your creative journey,

   ~Bev

Kelly
Kelly Parker Designs

I have been creating art for as long as I remember. Art allows me to express my style of eclectic and quirky, clean and simple ideas and designs. I enjoy creating cards, collages and mixed media work. When I'm not working or crafting, I like to read and watch art and craft videos, spend time with my family and actively avoid housework and cooking.

Welcome to the team, ladies! We are so privileged to have you join us!
