CHALLENGE #26 and Introducing our New DT Member!

Challenge #26

is all about

TOILE AND TICKING

(Your creation must contain both 'Toile AND Ticking')

What's this you might ask???

Here's a wonderful site we found that will help answer your questions.

or look to the Shabby Design Team projects.

http://www.french-country-decor-guide.com/french-country-fabrics.html

You might find this in fabric, or paper...

Another question you might raise is ...

'I dont have any?'

You can also find Toile and Ticking and print off the computer like a couple of our DT have done.

Toile and Ticking is beautifully historically French and fabulously Shabby!

Toile is a distinct elegant pattern used in various shades and Ticking is a stripe – usually a double stripe or uneven spaced stripe…

This is what the Shabby Girls created...

A little about Magda:

Hello!
My name is Magda and I am from Poland. I love crafting, reading, jazz music and spending time with my little daughter, Lena. I have been scrapping a few months (since December 2010) and I enjoy every minute of my hobby. Through scrapbooking I am trying to be creative. I would say I tend to scrap romantinc and shabby with a little touch of vintage. My style of scrapbooking is very eclectic, somethimes shabby chic and romantic, sometimes vintage, but I always include lots of layers and details.
I look forward to challenging myself as well as inspiring you.
I am so proud and honoured to be a part of Let's Get Shabby Design Team. Thank you!

Here's a little bit about Jenn for those who may not already know her.

Nice to meet all of you! My name is Jenn (a.k.a JB or scrapperjjb) and I’m a wife to an avid fisherman & mother to two beautiful girls. I started scrapbooking 12 years ago & fell into the art of cardmaking. I haven’t been able to stop since. I want to thank Mandy and Julie for inviting me to be a guest member for this challenge. I had so much fun creating my card design from the inspiration photo. Happy 2nd Birthday, "Let's Get Shabby!"
