I received an exciting email today. Spellbinders the company that makes our much loved nestabilities, impressabilities, shapeabilites etc. has a design team call for 2011.
The first round of entries was due January 3 and we were required to make a card. They liked it and I moved onto the 2nd round. We had to make a 12 x 12 layout.
My inspiration for the scrapbook page came from my new granddaughter, Phoenix Daisy.
Well they liked that one as well and now I move onto the final round. I am overwhelmed with joy. To make it this far in a contest against so many talented paper crafters is amazing to me.
I will keep you posted on the results. I will post all the photos of what I sent in after the contest is over,
I used a stamp from Waltzingmouse that coordinates with spellbinders labels 4 nestability die. Inside of that frame I stamped my flowers. They are from Stampin-Up's "just celebrate" set.
My butterflies are punched from a Martha Stewart butterfly punch in the eggplant color. I added some swirly ribbon and that completed my card.
Some other challenge I have entered:
1. The card layout was the sketch from the "sweet sunday sketch blog".
2. I also entered this card at the sisterhood of crafters blog. They have an anything goes challenge.
3. The craft your passion blog has a challenge to use 2 patterned papers.
4. The top tip Tuesday blog has a fabulous flowers challenge.
Well, its time to dim the lights in charmed life land for another day. Until next time......
