Time To ... Say Goodbye .....


Hello everyone. It's Bibi here today (the owner of Rubber Dance), and it's a sad day for me because some of the people on my Design Team are leaving. Well, there have been many sad days before today because we have known for some time...   It's nothing personal - I just have to keep a smaller team from now on. The rest of us will continue to blog at least twice a week, like before (here and on our Scandinavian blog). 

 This post is a tribute to the five awesome women who are leaving the Rubber Dance Design Team - Kristiina who has been here for past year (mostly posting on our Scandinavian blog), Majo and Irit who have been on the team since the very beginning in August 2014, and Katy and Gabriele, who were also on the team from the beginning - although on and off for the last few months, but always supportive and helpful behind the scenes.

 These five talented women will not stop creating and sharing their art! You will find a link to their own blogs below. Chances are we will see them again as Guest Designers here as well. 

 Here are just some of the makes these five fab women have created during their time on the Rubber Dance DT (except July - you can see those on the monthly recap tomorrow). It was VERY hard to pick just a few makes by each, as these ladies have made so many!!! I will miss them all very much and I will always be very grateful for all the work they have done for me and Rubber Dance.

A new 6 months' term for the remaining members on the Design Team begins on August 1st. I hope you will come back and get to know these women better - some of them have only posted on our Scandinavian blog till now, and some you will know from before. 



With love and immense gratitude,
Bibi

They all have contributed to make the Rubber Dance blog (and brand) what it is today, and this is something to celebrate! I wish them the best of luck in their future endeavours, and I guess we will still see them in blogland.

Rubber Dance Stamp Challenge - October

Image
Klikk her for info på norsk (info in Norwegian) Hello, gorgeous! Are you ready for another fun challenge? I guess you are! Our colour scheme and theme this month might not come as a big surprise. After all, fall/autumn is all around us (here in the north, anyway), and we do love its glorious colours! We hope you do, too, when you create an entry (or three) for our October Challenge: Did you know that "fall" is an Old English word? It replaced the word 'harvest' in the early 1600s as more people started moving into cities. City dwellers began to use the phrase 'fall of the leaf'' and, over time, the phrase was shortened to fall. Surprisingly, etymologists don’t know where the word "autumn" comes from. It was used as far back at the 1300s (by Chaucer), and Shakespeare often used the word, too. As English spread to the New World, the common season names split as well and today, American English uses the word fall while British English

Easel Card With Textured Flowers

Image
Hello.  Welcome.  Gail from the design team here today with a project using the new Textured Flowers stamps.  I loved these the moment I saw them.  Big beautiful blooms.  And many small er stamps for adding leaves and texture.   I decided to make a Twisted Easel Card.  There are many tutorials available but I used this one by Lois.  So here's my card using Textured Flowers and of course, a giraffe .......... I was inspired by the Rubber Dance challenge colours which for June are: I stamped the large simple daisy, masked and stamped two more.  I added the giraffe from African Animals .  I think I'll call her Daisy. I thought it looked a bit empty so I stamped more daisies...... and coloured with distress and d y e inks.  I stamped and embossed three of the doodled flowers and the giraffe, fussy cut and added them to my panel.  I used brads and a Cheery Lynn die cut for the flower centers.  I also doodled a little faux stitching
