my design team entries

Happy Thursday and thanks for taking the time to visit the charmed life blog. I shared on my blog previously that I had decided to enter the competition for the 2011 design team at Spellbinders.

They make the nestability dies-as I am sure most of you already know.

1st round card

I sent in this card and was moved to the second round of the competition..

2nd round layout

The 2nd round  had 43 of us competing.
I had to create a 12 x 12 layout for this round.
I used my sweet granddaughter, Phoenix Daisy, as my subject.





I made it through this round as well and I was moved to the final round. There were 20 of us in this round.



final round card

We were sent a set of dies from Spellbinders and we had to create an ensemble for this round. In other words a card and then a layout that complimented the card.



final round layout

I chose to do a wedding card and then my layout was pictures from Kendra & Aaron's wedding. This is the young couple that we mentored for 2 1/2 years.





Well, I didn't make the 2011 design team. I was very disappointed but after I thought about it, I was honored to have made it to the final round. It was such an affirmation of the work that I do.

I wasn't able to post the projects previously but I can do that now.

Hope you have enjoyed seeing what I've done for this competition. Until next time.....
