Yipee! My Homework's Done!

Assignment #2 Design Team Is Done!

Fini!

Creativity takes time. At least for this artist. I must have spent 3 weeks just percolating ideas for this month’s Craft Warehouse Design Team projects. There are restrictions for each project. For instance, for the banner, we were required to use the following items:
2 Chipboard Banner pieces
2 of 4 patterned papers
A monster stamp
Rub-ons
Letters
We are not supposed to go to our own stash to embellish. We can only use basics like buttons, ribbon, and ink. The restrictions, though frustrating, actually foster ingenuity. This month I pleated paper and made watercolors out of ink pads.

A photo of my niece inspired the layout. Do you see that her shirt is strikingly similar to the striped paper????

I suppose Drew’s messy room inspired the banner. That, and the book Guess How Much I Love You. We used to read it and then come up with our own dialogue.

“I love you to Mars and back.”

“Oh yeah, well I love you to the NEXT UNIVERSE and back.”

“So? I love you back to the caveman times and back!”

The card would be fun for Father’s Day, wouldn’t it? I’d like to make up a tool belt card one day, too.

And on Sunday, I am planning a Snippets Crop at my place where I will get caught up on some of my own scrapbooking!

Design Team May Assignment Completed!

It is done! Finished! Completed! I am pleased with the results, but, oh, the agonizing I went through! It is one thing to make an album for a friend, but quite another to create an album for a craft store! The album and layout will be on display at the Craft Warehouse in Camas. Check out the Craft Warehouse.com site to see all of the May Projects!

My First Design Team Assignment Arrived!

Wow! Take a look at this! I feel like a retailer! Beautiful Fancy Pants papers, stamps, notebook journal and felt and acrylic book! And adhesives galore! Yippee!!! This girl's gonna have some fun!!!!!

National Scrapbooking Day!

I check the mail daily, and no Design Team assignment! Sheesh! Thank heavens a NATIONAL holiday comes this weekend so I can distract myself from my anxious waiting. National Scrapbook Day will find me and my Snippet friends Cathy and Cindy at Craft Warehouse for their celebration. (40% Off Coupons!!! Drawings! Make and Takes!) I am also creating another pop up card for my sister-in-law La Quita. These pop ups are tricky--at least the first couple of times! No photos yet! Just ideas so far!
