I am excited to announce that I am officially part of the Creative Inspiration Design Team! I know what your thinking ... Annie - you told us this already! You are correct I did. However, I get to show you the layout I created as part of my first DT work and Challenge. We have different challenges for each day. For example we have a sketch challenge on Mondays - layout & Sundays -cards.  Stop by and join us in all the fun.

We had to create a layout for the Sketch Challenge over at Creative Inspirations Forum.  

Here is Monday's Sketch - July 3rd - Which is created by Bev Code.

Here is my take on the sketch. I kept it close to the sketch this time.

I hope you join us over at Creative Inspirations for the different challenges and prizes.

My Hubby is really supporting my new design team work. He bought me these wonderful card magazines. Which came with beautiful stamps and dies; along with amazing ideas.

Then, my mother's day gift arrived. I new it would be late we agree to do gifts for mother & father's day late this year. We had other things going on during that time. I am very excited about the 150 Prismacolor Premier Color Pencil Set!!! Oh, I also got blending pencils and eraser with it. I also got my tech on with an external hard drive. So, I can start creating videos(Yikes!!! - I can do it!?! Right?!?) and other stuff.



I told you so exciting for me. I am also working on my DT cards and layouts; getting ready for the start date of July 1st for most of them. I already started with Jo's Scrap Shack.

We have amazing challenges and prizes be sure to check it out. Jo's Scrap Shack Fun-day Friday Challenges

It's been a fun filled and exciting couple of weeks for me. I was chosen for Creative Inspirations Design Team, Jo's Scrap Shack Design Team  (I already started) & now I was offered a spot on the Koala T Crafts Blog Design Team.

I won a Prize from Kraftgali! (See post below)  and then, my hubby treated me to some fun shopping. At Michaels - I was so happy to find some Distress Oxide Ink pads. I also got some stamps, stencils, flair, wood veneer alpha & coffee cups, stickers, storage boxes - not shown, alcohol marker -( Mike's brand to try out) & lots of adhesive. Which is not enough - there's never enough adhesive.

I hope you are have a good month, week, day, hour! I hope to be post a project real soon.

I am so excited!! I was one of several winners of a giveaway Kraftgali was having on Instagram and Facebook. I always try out for these type of giveaways. I usually don't win. So, when I won - I was surprised and over the moon.

Kraftgali's shop offers a variety of stamps, dies and other wonderful things for card making. I won a gift certificate to the shop. I of course went right over and redeemed it.

I ordered the following:

Avery Elle Cool Treats Stamps & Die Set



Avery Elle - Birthday Bus Stamps & Die Set


Lawn Fawn - Party Animal Stamps



Sunny Studios - Oceans of Joy & Die Set

 

All I have to say is wow the stamps arrived so quickly and I am so happy with them and the services. If you are interested in purchasing so stamps, dies or other goodies please stop by Kraftgali.com

I am so excited to finally be able to share this news. I have been honored by Creative Inspirations to be on their Design Team. I have meet everyone on the team and these ladies are super sweet and so talented. 

I hope you can join us at Creative Inspirations every month we have different challenges and mini crops.
