Oh My Crafts!

OK....So this past weekend Oh My Crafts! had a challenge on their facebook page to email in your favourite flower LO. I thought WTH!!!! I sent in the grad LO from my DT submission .I didn't win but they posted 7 non winning LO's in their photo winners section .....and guess what ...... mine was one of them !!!!!I am so excited !! What a boost to my ego!!!!! I know it wasn't a winner but think of all the people who don't know me and who have never seen my work who might just see this LO!!!! That possibility thrills me to no end !!!! Okay ..I am babbling !!! Thanks for listening!!!!!

DT Reveal!!!
















So it is official ....I MADE THE DESIGN TEAM ..and i couldn't be happier!!!!!!We had to provde 3 LO's /cards that are our favorites as well as creating a new LO based on a sketch by the talented Cory-Lyn.I agonized for a few weeks to find the right pictures to go with the sketch and finally chose to do my niece's prom pics .they were the wrong orientation so i had to flip the sketch .!I can't wait to see what the first DT challenge brings us .....










Keeping my fingers crossed

So tonight is the night of the big reveal for the design team at APOS!!! I am so excited to see who makes it !! I spent 3 evenings stitching and beading finally finished my submission up last night and sent it off!!! I am super pleased with my results and sure hope the decision makers are just as happy with it as I am!!! Stay tuned for the results....
