Friday Feature & Challenge: Big Blooms

Hello Sweet 'n Sassy friends and welcome to this week's 
Friday Feature & Challenge!

Players will be entered to win a $10 Gift Certificate to the 
Sweet 'n Sassy Store so grab your stamps and inks and play along with us this week!

Before we get started, we have a big announcement to make!
Gloria Stengel, the newest illustrator for Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps and designer of the popular new Birthday Word Art stamp set, will also be joining Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps as our newest Design Team Diva.  Here's Gloria and a little bit about her in her own words:

My name is Gloria Stengel and I am an eastern USA transplant now living in Oceanside, CA. I’ve been a CA resident since March 2005, after living in five other states. My husband Matt and I have three children, Nathan (22), Laura (18), and Jonah (13). I am a homeschool mom, however my oldest son and my daughter have both graduated and now attend college full-time. I can see the light at the end of the homeschooling tunnel!

I have been hooked on paper crafts all of my life. I have always loved to color, play with paper dolls, and create "projects"! In 1990, I discovered rubber stamping and in 1996, I stumbled across "modern" scrapbooking. (Oh, yes, I am old enough to have been at it this long! Which means I have DECADES of hoarded products!) I love all aspects of paper crafting: card making, scrapbooking, mini albums, altered art, up-cycling, you name it! I am happiest when I am making a mess! It's the cleaning up part that I don't care for!

I have been on a number of design teams over the past few years, including three terms with Graphic 45 and one term with Spellbinders. I also accept various guest design spots and work with online stores from time to time. The design teams I have worked with are very diverse, which is an amazing thing for me considering that I love all sorts of art mediums. 

I have  been published in several magazines. Plus I have a blog, a Facebook Fan Page, and a YouTubechannel in order to share my creative work. 

Welcome to the team, Gloria!!
