Meet Tsuruta Designs

Hello everyone, it's Anthonette here. I've been wanting to feature this designer since last month; where has the time gone? I'd like to introduce you to Amy Tsuruta of Tsuruta Designs. Amy is a fabulous card designer. She's also started scrapbooking too. Everything she does is fabulous! Amy describes her style as "clean and fun". I definitely agree.

This first card of Amy's is in the current issue (July/August) of Paper Crafts magazine; so cheerful.

Look at this next card with pinwheels...oh my...cute!

Here's an example of recent adventure into scrapbooking. I had the pleasure of meeting her back in January. We were both at the Craft and Hobby Association (CHA) Supershow in Anaheim, California. She is as friendly in person as I had imagined.

Her work always suprises me. She is always up for a good color or sketch challenge. Love this one!

I love the simplicity and elegance of this topiary. Gorgeous!

Such a fun card using Cosmo Cricket paper.

Don't you just love the colors on this card?

I leave you with this last cute creation. Please check out Amy's blog today and tell her you saw her on Inspirational. Have a good one today!

What a corker!

Hi everyone.. long time no see! I've been busy there for a while, but I've still been blog hopping.. lol. I thought I'd pop on today to show you a brilliant blog that was shown to me the other week - and what a lovely one it is too.

It belongs to a wonderful crafter called Ingvild - see her blog HERE - and even though it is a relatively young blog, there are some fantastic things on there... especially these -

Now tell me these don't look good enough to eat??!! Just look at that icing. And best of all, the lovely Ingvild shares tutorials on how to make them!

Here are a couple more of her samples which she kindly said I could take to show you..

So as you can see, there are many different things that Ingvild makes - as well as taking beautiful photographs. So hop on over to her blog and take a peek around. You won't regret it!

Love Jo xx
