My friend Linda Coughlin is starting a brand new challenge blog called Frilly and Funkie for vintage artwork, paper and mixed media creations. You probably already know Linda from her long standing stint as a design team member for Simon Says Stamp and Show, or her current (also long term spot) designing at Our Creative Corner.
I was thrilled when Linda asked me to be on the F&F design team, especially because there's a bit of a unique twist to the team. We are half 'frilly' and half 'funkie'. You know which side I'm on... I get the shivers at frilly! Linda has put together a fun team and we all like vintage, no matter which way we showcase it.
Linda has a Zibbet store (Z is just like Etsy) called The Funkie Junkie Boutique, and she'll be offering store credit and discounts each week on the challenge blog. She carries loads of artsy goodies, including lots of Tim Holtz and Ranger products.
Be sure to stop by the F&F blog each day because a new design team member is being revealed daily. If you leave a comment on each DT member's blog on or before March 28th, your name will go into a kickoff day drawing for a $25 gift certificate for The Funkie Junkie Boutique.
We officially kick off next Wednesday, March 28th, with the first challenge. Please pop on over to the Frilly and Funkie blog and sign up for email updates so you don't miss a thing. We hope to see you in all the challenges!
Marjie
Thanks for the info! Valerie

Well, you will be a great addition to this Team, no doubt about that Marjie. I am more to the Frilly side myself, but I will be interested to see your work for inspiration, and who knows I may venture towards the dark side!!!!!!
