I can’t believe it took me this long to post the exciting news I got on Monday!! I was on my way to pick up Miles from track and called to check on Emily. She said, “Some Heidi Something-or-other called about a design team and wants you to call her back.” I was totally shocked and really had to try to connect the dots because I didn’t expect to get a call. In hindsight, it completely me cracks me up because once I figured out what she was saying I started screaming. “No way!! Oh my gosh!! That is so cool!” over and over! I could just hear her eyes rolling! 🙂 Later, I was super thrilled to talk to Heidi Sonboul and hear about the Facebook Gal Design Team she created for us. I can’t wait to get started with GCD Studios. This is my first time to work with a scrapbook manufacture company and I know how lucky I am to get to work with Heidi!
Now, I can share the layouts and a card completed for my March Guest Designer gig at BackPorch Memories. What a fun collection of papers and embellies from the Solo kit to work with!! I had planned before hand which photographs I was probably going to use so the pages came very quickly to me. I was able to create 3 layouts by 1 am Friday!! The same day I received my box! I definitely had some creative mojo going. 🙂
I’m really getting into the Maya Mist craze, a little late, I know, but I wanted to create a second layer of papers and used the Turquoise Metallic to do so. I can’t believe I dragged my feet so. (All of the patterned paper and stickers in the Solo kit is from Reminisce’s Unwritten line. Ribbon from May Arts.)
I can’t help but smile at this one. That face!!
This one was a sketch assignment. The music note paper was an antique image I found online. More misting for the background and I removed the first layer of paper on the blue Thickers and misted them with brown.(Rhinestones from KaiserCraft and Thickers from American Crafts.)
For my card, I thought it was a clever idea to use the felt loop from Queen and Co. as a spring. 🙂 Pretty simple card using my Slice for the frog and one of the flower stickers from the kit. Oh, I should have added eyeballs to the frog! I may have to go and do that!! lol
I’ve been trying to catch my breath from the whirlwind of cleaning and getting the house ready for the meeting I had here on Tuesday. All went well and I have a completely clean house now. 🙂 I do have piles of laundry to fold today.
