I have submitted this creation to showcase for the Stampotique Designer Team call as I feel it really demonstrates my ability to think "Outside the Box", which is one of the criteria asked for in the brief.

| Brooom, Brooom |
My work is often peppered with humour. Hence the title for this piece "Brooom, Brooom". Just how a supersonic, modern day witch should travel, house and all, two broomstick powered.

I enjoy combining stamps, using two or more together and finding ways to combine them, adding hats and patterns to create characters and interest.
My work is often a bit quirky and grungy but recently I have been enjoying making clean and simple cards that have a sharp eye for design.
This is a recent example of one of my clean and simple makes. I stamped on to fabric and then free machined stitched into it to add detail and contrast. Simply attached with eyelets and a piece of washi tape and finished with a sentiment in cherry ink.
I have been an avid fan of Stampotique stamps for a long time and have been using them from my early days of exploring stamping. I first happened across Stampotique stamps when I attended a workshop with Sue Roddis, which I think was in 2007. I fell in love with them and started my collection from that day. I believe my use of them in my creations and blog posts contributed to them becoming popular in the UK as I often received comments like " What quirky stamps, not quite sure if I like these stamps or love them, where did you find them?" Over time I saw more and more people start to use them. I would link my blog posts up to where they could be purchased in the UK.
I like to try to use the stamps in an imaginative way. Thinking up new ways to use them and to think outside the box and play with materials.
I have been involved with numerous design teams such as Gingersnaps, Unruly Paper Arts, Rogue Redhead Designs and Something Completely Different. I have been guest designer for a number of stamp companies. I have had my work published in Craft Stamper magazine.
I enjoy challenges as they push you to create and challenge you to adapt and to think around a subject. I like to push my boundaries rather than copy others.
I would be proud, delighted and extremely happy to be part of the Stampotique Design Team in either capacity, the challenge team or the blog team.

Oh Laura I love it! So imaginative :) Good luck
Definitely "outside of the box," Laura, and a homerun in my book! Lots of detail (still digesting that sleigh!) and such a fun title! Good luck in the search--I know you would be an asset to the Stamptique team!
Fab, FAB, fab Laura. Love everything you create, always cutting edge, leaving room for thought and imagination. I am the proud owner of one of your gorgeous decorated frames, full of Stampotique images and designs from even before I knew who they were! It lives on my treasure shelf :))
Good Luck for the DT call. Fingers and toes crossed for you.xx
