 Our challenge theme this week is "fantasy"!  Who doesn't either have some fantasy left over from when they were young about what they wanted to be when they grew up?  Or about something that was so out of this world that it could only be labeled as fantasy?  Let's see those creative projects from your gorgeous images!  

 The Paper Shelter has supplied some gorgeous images for our Design Team to use.  Please allow them to inspire you!

We have a wonderful Guest Designer this month, too.  Here's a little bit about Barbara Thompson.

Our June Guest Designer

Barbara Thompson, we are so excited to have you for the month of June.

June Featured Guest Designer

My name is Barbara Thompson.  I entered the craft world when my sister, who has been scrapbooking and cardmaking for years, gave me a kit and showed me how to make a few cards.  I needed a new hobby when my husband retired and we moved to a smaller town a few years ago.  Well, as they say, I was hooked instantly and so it began!  I started my blog (http://cardsandpaperfun.blogspot.com/) in December and in March, got my Copic certification.  Now I am very busy creating.  I hope I can inspire you!

Here are the samples made by our team, starting with our wonderful Guest Designer,
