Challenge 40 - Eyes down its time for BINGO

Good morning and welcome to our 40th challenge, thank you to all that entered into our last challenge please scroll down for our Top 3.

Before I get onto this fortnights challenge I would like to introduce our

GUEST DESIGNER IN THE SPOTLIGHT

Irene De Mars

http://marsvrouw.blogspot.com/

I would like to thank you for the opportunity to be a guest designer this month, which came as a complete surprise.

My name is Irene, 59 years old and I live in the most northern part of The Netherlands.

Married to Ben for 30 years and mother to Sylvia who lives/studied/works in the UK since 5 years and ……sob sob… never wants to leave again, which we completely understand because we became quite fond of your gorgeous country!!!!

I always liked being creative but ever since the scrap virus hit me at the end of 2009 I am totally addicted and with the encouragement of my husband even started my own blog last January. I still have a lot to learn compared to other creations but visiting all the other blogs gives me a lot of fun and inspiration.

I hope that you will like my card for this challenge and that I might be of some inspiration for all of you.

Welcome Irene, thank you for joining us at Anything goes as one of our guest designers for May. We are all delighted to have you with us.

Lisbeth Bringsli (Lisbeth B)

Lisbeth is our

Spotlight Designer

Here's a little bit about Lisbeth...

I live in a small town south in Norway called Kristiansand. Here I live with my husband and a cat:). I have a daughter who is now an adult and I've also got a little grandson who is 3 years old this summer. I'll be 50 this summer.

I work in a telephone company full time.

I have been involved in scrapping for several years and in the recent years, card making taken over completely. It's so incredibly fun.

It is amazing how many talented people there are out there. I love looking at others creation.

I love this hobby and spend lots of time in my craft room.

It's a great honor to be asked if I would be GD on your blog . I have made a card with Magnolia. On the front I made a little shakerbox.

Hope you like it.

Hugs

Lisbeth
