The wait is OVER!!!!

I'm so excited!! I made the J&S Hobbies and Crafts Design Team for 2015-2016!! I was so surprised. I kept telling myself not to get too excited and in convincing myself it would be ok, I was pleasantly surprised to get my acceptance !!

So now, I wait for my first DT package!

In the meantime, I wanted to share the original project I had created for Round 2 that I didn't send in. Here's a link to the walk through, and if you watch, I point out the different areas where I made mistakes, etc that just didn't make me satisfied :) I don't know about you, but crafting - even after years, I still make mistakes and not think things through. It's a continued learning experience!

Here's the video. Enjoy!

J&S Design Team call Round 2 submissions

Hi everyone! I'm back to share my projects for the J&S Hobbies and Crafts Design Team Call. This is the second (and final) round. We were to create a project using the supplies provided and then mail them in for review. I've already mailed off my package. I ended up creating multiple projects with the materials provided as my original idea wasn't up to par in my opinion, but I'll be back to share that later...

The supplies that were sent to me:
- Designs by Shellie - Tranquil Gardens 12x12 paper pad (SQUEEEE!!)
- Designs by Shellie - Resin Oval Frame (pearl)
- Petaloo Butterflies (DIY Paintables)
- Kaisercraft Paper Blooms (Lavender)
- spool of light green ribbon

You can watch a quick show of the products I received in this haul video (if you don't want to watch it all, fast forward to 29 min mark for the DT package)

So, because I had originally created a mini album that just wasn't "good enough" in my opinion to send off, I needed to come up with another project using the leftovers that I had. I decided to create some fun little altered paper bags. I've made these before, and they are so fun and quick to make. I usually create these and then use them for sending swaps, raks, etc. I created 3 different bags and also created a fun little tag with a note to Shellie and the Team.

Here's some photos:







Now - the waiting begins!! I know there are some awesome designs from other contestants, so they will have their hands full deciding and I hope I get the chance!!

Thanks for stopping by!
