I am so lucky to have the best ‘Job’ ever. I get to meet amazing Fiskateers and I can’t believe it when they treat me like a celebrity. I’m just an everyday crafter like You.
While meeting Fiskateers is the best part, my next favorite thing about being a Lead Fiskateer is that I get to give away Fun product. I find it so inspiring that I can give people the same exact product package and they each will create a totally different project. I just love to see what people will create and how they get inspired.
While browsing the Fiskateer Gallery, I spied some beautiful cards created by Dale Anne #512 with a prize pack that I sent her.
I only make cards when I need one for something specific. I never think to make cards just to have some on hand. I thought these cards were beautiful and I asked Dale Anne to share about herself and her card…
The 1st card uses Cloud 9 paper, a foam snowflake, punched with a
Stampin’ Up! punch and stamped with a Stampin’ Up! sentiment stamp.
A little about me… I have been stamping & scrapping for 4 years. I make between 150 to 200 cards each year as I supply my sister-in-law and my Mom with all their birthday list cards, plus my own. I scrap mostly for myself as I have 35 years worth of photos to use, as I finally took them out of those awful magnetic albums.
I work full-time as a mixed media artist - specializing in textiles while also dabbling in stamping, altered arts and scrapbooking. I teach classes for beginner quilting, art quilting, altered arts, stamping and scrapbooking.

If you would like to win some of the Cloud 9 papers like the ones that Dale Anne used here on her cards, make a card inspired by one of these 4. Leave a comment here with a link to your card and share how you were inspired by these cards. I will pick a random winner Sunday night to receive these Cloud 9 papers, a compact stamp press and some sentiment stamps. Goodies any card maker would LOVE!
And be sure to check out the Fiskateer Gallery. After a visit there, I’m always inspired!

November 8th, 2008 at 7:23 pmI finished a card. I have to say I have not been to big on card making but it seems as if I have done a couple today and have plans to do more for the help our vet challenge that Sharon is doing. I fell in love with Dale Annes cards they were just so classy and pretty.
My card is here:

November 8th, 2008 at 9:15 pmGreat cards Dale Anne,
I really liked your first snowflake one. It inspired me to make a few more christmas cards. I posted my version of yours in my gallery. Hope you can see it as the picture turned out a little dark.

Here’s quick one I did inspired by you .
I’ve been up all night with a puking 9yr old boy!…so me brain is a bit fuzzy !
I used my new I Pine For You punch (that I helped name!) to make my tree and I printed out the sentiment because I don’t have anything Christmas-y paper or stamp wise.
Have a great Sunday! I’ve got to go clean a carpet …again!

November 10th, 2008 at 7:39 amGorgeous cards Dale Anne. Seeing yours, I pulled out my HG papers to use on my challenge cards this weekend.
Seeing your cards reminded me that I recently picked up the Santa stamp that you used but have yet to ink him up.
