It is Tenia’s<\/a> last week with us in the Designer Spotlight and we would like to say a huge thank you for all of your creations over the past month. It has been a real pleasure to have you along with us :-)<\/p>\n

Tenia\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0used a super cute and simple Lawn Fawn Flying By Stamp Set<\/a>! Yes….paper planes can fly!!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Andrea<\/a>, an English major, made a flock of flying books to represent how reading can take us anywhere.\u00a0 She used some of her favorite Infusions colors (Slime<\/a>, Violet Storms<\/a> and Rusty Car<\/a>), Prima Oil Pastels<\/a>, and a scallop die from Jane Davenport’s Happy Little Unicorn<\/a> set.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Anna-Karin<\/a>\u00a0took flight through an art journal page, filled with butterflies and dragonflies. She used the AALL & Create #44<\/a> and #45<\/a> clear stamp sets by Tracy Evans, in combination with Paper Artsy Infusions<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Barbara<\/a> choose to create a Mini\u00a0Framed panel<\/a> with Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous Entomology <\/a>set stamps, Tim Holtz Sizzix Tangled twigs<\/a>, Tim Holtz Sizzix Foundry<\/a>. She use Distress inks<\/a> to color her project.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Cheiron<\/a> created a card using some fun flying things from the Tim Holtz Entomology<\/a> set to create a buggy background. She used Distress Oxides<\/a> to color in her critters and the letters from the Tim Holtz Sizzix Cutout Alphanumeric Lower Thinlits<\/a> to create her sentiment.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Emma<\/a>\u00a0created a Framed Panel<\/a> telling the story of Santa’s Christmas Eve flight around the world. She used Tim Holtz’s Yuletide Stamp Set<\/a> to create the image which is dashing through the snow of glittered\u00a0baubles\u00a0<\/a>set against a backdrop of a die cut globe<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Kath<\/a> created a page in her Dylusions Black Creative Journal<\/a> reminiscent of an old Christmas Storybook she loved as a child but this story features Santa’s standby team of Tim Holtz\/Sizzix Merry Moose<\/a> practicing their take off skills in a Falling Stars Layering Stencil<\/a> snow blizzard and used Simon Says Stamp Believe<\/a>, Big U<\/a> and Tim Holtz\/Sizzix Word Play<\/a> dies to create the wording.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Macarena<\/a>\u00a0made an autumn panel with maple helicopter seeds using Tim Holtz Sizzix Layered Dragonfly<\/a> die and colored her tree with Prima Metallique Brass paint<\/a>, Lucky Emerald Brillance wax<\/a> and several Distress Sprays<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Maura\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0let her imagination take flight and carry her to the moon in her card. She used Dina Wakley’s Silhoutte Women<\/a>, Woodcuts stamps<\/a>, and Moon Faces stencil<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Meihsia<\/a> was inspired to create a mixed media Halloween tag using Tim Holtz Paper Doll Ancestors <\/a>with Regal Adornments Metal wings<\/a>, and decorated the tag with Idea-ology Pumpkin Pieces Findings<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Sandra<\/a> couldn’t resist making one more Halloween card, featuring bats from the Batground stencil<\/a> and spooking up some Paper Dolls<\/a>
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

Zoey<\/a>\u00a0wanted to fly to the moon and back and she used distress paint<\/a>\u00a0and different embossing powders<\/a>\u00a0to create this little scenery<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n
