Hi all:
First of all, before I forget, the date for the September Crop has been changed due to scheduling conflicts in the store. It will now be held on September 29 from 10 - 4. The cost is $5 and you can come all day or for just a couple of hours. There are three Cricut machines and several cartridges available for your use, as well as a Cuttlebug, two paper trimmers, and several stamps and punches. You can work on Christmas cards or your Back to School album. Bring your pictures, your supplies, and your excitement. Have a day with the girls! You deserve it! :)
I have a new goal. I would like to be a part of a design team within the next year. As a member of a design team, the designer or the manufacturer sends you some of their product and an assignment. You create something with their product, following their guidelines. Amazing fun! You get free product, tons of exposure in the paper arts world, and you get to make cool stuff. Sometimes, you even get paid. How cool is that?!
Currently, there is a corporation looking for members of their Creative Arts Team. They asked for four projects demonstrating specific styles they want to see. So, I put together a couple of things to send in to them. I must admit I had fun doing them. I created five things to submit, but these two are my favorites.
The first is a card. I used one of EK Success's Inkadinkadoo stamps for this card. I really like the symbolism and appeal of a single flower kept alive in a soda bottle. Who hasn't done that? And, sometimes, that single flower - picked at random - means more than a dozen of the finest roses. It's a memento - someone was thinking of you. It's a souvenir of a stroll on an otherwise forgotten summer day. It's a reminder of the beauty and exquisiteness in the little things that are all around us. This card reads: "For you." "For everything." Simple. Heartfelt.

The stamp and ribbon are colored with Tim Holtz's Distress Markers by Ranger. The crystals are by Jolee's. The image was stamped on watercolor paper.
The second project is close to my heart because I love the beach - the solitude, the freshness, the warmth, the colors - just love it.
Here is a clean and simple beach layout:
The stamps are by Clear Art Stamps. I created the dimensional shell, sand dollar, and starfish with Martha Stewart's Crafter's Clay by EK Success and they were colored with Tim's markers. I really liked how this one came out - it gives me the same feelings as the beach. :)
Be back soon. I'm working on an album from my recent trip to Louisiana. I'll be sharing it with you soon. :)
