Gaynor Greaves

I am 44 years old, married with one grown up Daughter and 2 mad lurchers, I live in Sheffield in the UK. I work part time on the Intensive care unit at my local hospital which i enjoy immensely. I have been crafting since I was little but I mainly knitted and did cross stitch when I got older, I got into making cards in 2006 and I have been addicted ever since. I love stamping and Digi stamps have become a favourite because of their flexibility. I love to make all types of cards and nothing fazes me, you don't learn anything if you don't make any mistakes.


Kenzie Pearce

I have 2 children and a dog who are my world, work part time, and have a great life and living it as best we can. I'm a fairly new crafter hoping to learn from some great crafters, have been making scrapbooks a while.


Zoe Stupples

I'm a craft loving mummy to my lil dude Ryan 5 and my gorgeous lil princess Abigail who is 3 and my 7 month old baby. When I am not running around after them you will find me in my little corner with my beloved stamps and copics!!


Sue Berker - April 6 Guest Designer

My name is Sue Berker. I am 68 years old and have been married to the most awesome guy ever for ten years. Together we have five kids and 3 grandkids. We do a bit of traveling around the United States but our best trips have included our family visits. I have been an avid papercrafter for about eight years. It all began with being introduced to the stamping world by a Stampin'Up! demonstrator. During those eight years I became a Stampin'Up! demonstrator for four years and then was blessed to be on two Design Teams. I lean more towards the CAS style of stamping. I also enjoy scrapbooking but don't seem to find the time anymore for it.I want to thank Jellypark for the pleasure of being a guest designer.


Jacqy Weber - April 20 Guest Designer

I am married to my best friend and childhood sweetheart, Gary, for 44 years. Our grown kids are Donna and Gary. We are very lucky to have a son-in-law, Greg, who we love very much. then , of course, we have 3 absolutely wonderful, talented and loveable grandkids, Matt, Mandi and Hannah. They are 3 of the best blessings we could have ever been given. As you can see, my family is the center of my universe. They complete me in so many ways.

When I'm not hanging out with my awesome family I am very involved in our Church. Love almost all crafts. Mysteries(especially cozy mysteries) are my favorite books to read. I knit for charity. Always loved scrapbooking which I am now hooked on. Since I received my cricut for Mother's Day you can usually find me in my craftroom creating with my cricut.


Lisa West - May Guest Designer

I'm married and I'm a stay at home mum to a wonderful 2 year old little boy. I love my family and friends and all the usual things but my crafting is my relaxation, hobby and addiction all rolled into one. I was lucky enough to be a runner up in two UK craft magazines Yearly competitons in 2011, which has really boosted my own confidence in my crafting abilities.


Suzi McKenzie - June Guest Designer

I'm Suzi McKenzie AKA Mrs Weyremaster, I live in Aberdeen, Scotland with my adorable hubby Stewart and our 2 cats. I've been colouring images since i could hold a crayon, and it's one of my favourite things to do. I love papercrafting as it gives me the opportunity to be creative, and share my interests with others. I started card making when i was preparing for my wedding, and could not find stationary i liked. I've been card making ever since, and discovered craft blogs and forums soon after, and have been lucky enough to make lots of crafty friends all over the world. My style is fairly simple, a little weird and wacky, and i love to use strong colours.

Please give everyone a happy Jellypark welcome! We are so excited to have each one of them here with us! :)

Shades of Love Challenge

A new challenge starts today, but let's first announce the Top 3 in our Winter Wonderland challenge. Thank you to everyone who played along! it was great fun to see your wintery projects! :)

1 . Anne-Marie
2 . Doreen
3 . Tammie E

Congratulations to all of you! Please be sure to grab the badge for your blog over on the right hand side bar. Anne-Marie, please email Claire at jellypark at live.co.uk with your choice of a digital image from the Jellypark Store.

Since Valentine's Day is quickly approaching, our new challenge is all about the 'Shades of Love.' We want to see reds, pinks, and/or purples on your papercraft projects. You can use one color or all of them, but these need to be the main colors of your projects. just remember the few rules that we do have - keep it family friendly, current projects only, and limit your entries here to 2 per time frame. the full list of rules is over on the right hand side bar if you ever have any questions. if you use an image from the Jellypark store, you get an extra chance at being chosen for the Top 3.

Also, be sure that your project actually fits our challenge. Lately some have been entering projects that really don't have anything to do with our theme. while we appreciate you thinking of us, you not only won't qualify for the Top 3, but we will delete your entry. We do need to keep it fair to everyone. thanks!

Now on to the DT inspiration!

Fa La La Felt Challenge

Lots to get to today and I am running late, so grab your to-go cuppa and let's get started!

First thank you to every one who played in our last challenge! doesn't it do the heart good to create a project to express your gratitude? we need to be sure to do that on a regular basis! :) Every project was wonderful and so inspiring! Wouldn't it be fantastic to be able to award a prize to everyone?! maybe one day, but until then, we have to make do with our Top 3. grins!

1. Arielle H. Gordon
2. Heide D.
3. Edwina Brown

Congrats to each of you! Please be sure to grab the badge for your blog from the sidebar on the right. Arielle, please email Claire at jellypark at live.co.uk with your choice of a digital image from the Jellypark store!

Also a quick reminder that Mel will be starting up our new challenge blog for children 12 and under at the start of the new year, Jellypark Juniors. be sure to stop over and become a follower so you don't miss anything! We had 2 precious entries in our last challenge that brought HUGE smiles to the faces of every member of the DT from children! what a treat! :)

We sure hated to say goodbye to our past Guest Designer, Linda McClain, so we didn't! grins! she is going to pop in every once in a while as she has time for us. she is one busy busy lady, but oh so very talented! :) we sure do appreciate everything Linda did for us in her time here at Jellypark!

We do have a DT and Guest DT call out going on through Dec. 11. More information can be found for now over at our groups on Paper Craft Planet and The Crafters Cafe. While you are there, be sure to join the groups for fun chats and free images!

Now it's time to get to our next challenge. As the holiday season rings in, we are going to be getting cheesy with the challenge titles, so bear with us (me!!!). Our new challenge is called "Fa La La Felt". use felt in any form or fashion on your papercraft projects. it doesn't have to be a holiday card, but it you are feeling pressed to get those Christmas cards done in time, why not? you are free to use any image you would like as long as it's family friendly please. ;) Jellypark images do get you an additional entry into the contest for the Top 3 and a chance for a free digi from the store. Just remember that you may enter the challenge twice please to keep it fair to everyone.
