An exciting Thursday!

May 1st, 2008

First up, there is so FUN NEWS to share………….

I will be joining Lindsey Botkin as a design team member for her FANTASTIC store Jascksonbelle Embellishments!!!! I am so excited! Lindsey has always performed outstanding service when I have bought from her. She carries some of my most favorite product lines and her member forum on SCS is just as sweet as pie.

I feel very blessed to join such an amazing group of women who are fabulous crafters. I hope we can all bring out the bestest in ourselves and others.

Another bit of fun news is I have joined the bloggers challenge group! So starting tomorrow you will get to see that weekly challenge. I love challenges and feel like I’d had my nose pressed at the glass the past few months watch as everyone played along. I’m very excited to start these and my first one is going live tomorrow morning!

Next up, some sad new……..

My run as Guest Designer with Gina k is over! The time flew by so quickly and it was over so fast. I had an amaizing time working with Gina and the incredibly talented design team. I will be forever greatful for being chosen. And I am on the edge of my seat waiting to see what is happening with the new DT members and what they create.

So there will be some changes made to my blog over the next few days. I will finally, FINALLY figure out an easier way for you all to subscribe. I also need to link my new Jacksonbelle design team members and my bloggers challenge members. So bear with me as I drag my husband into my blogging world for help.

 AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhhh the ATC…………………………………………………….

First let me tell you what the guidelines were. We were to make 10 ATC with my favorite things stamps and at least one embellishment. Anyway I got it into my head that I was going to make a story book and that the front and back pages of the book would be the required ATC size and then it would open to reveal a scene.

It's-fun-to-get-dirty

When I saw the bunny in the latest Can ya dig it? set I immediatley thought of the Beatrix Potter stories. All those naughty rabbits stealing lettuces from the farmer, the kittens who loose their dresses. So I wanted to create a mini story book based on that. The actual ATC size is the nesty book front and back and then the middle is slightly smaller. Olive satin ribbon ties it closed. When it is closed it doesn’t really look like much, but once you open it I hope it makes people smile. I absolutley loved creating this scene and had a blast coloring away. Although for 10 of them, it was a bit much by the end.

I sincerely hope that those in my swap like these, the whole thing just made me so stinkin happy.

Tomorrow come back for my first ever bloggers challenge…………this one scared me!

    I hope you made a few extras of these darling ATCs because I definitely want one!!! That is seriously one of the most darling ATCs I’ve ever seen — what a wonderful imagination you have, and I LOVE Beatrix Potter, so your thought behind it definitely speaks to me.

    Congrats on the Jacksonbelle gig! Can’t wait to see how you’ll enable me!!
