Guess what, guess what, guess what!!!! Yours truly has been selected as a member of the July-December 2009 Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps Jr Design Team!!!! I am soooo excited, and so proud to be a part of this group. When Korin Sutherland, owner of Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps, put up a notice for Design Team member applications, I jumped at the chance to work with her and her team. SNSS's tag line is "sharing the love of Christ through paper crafting." I love that! Korin's company is truly a labor of love... love for Christ, love for people, love for sharing, and (of course) love for paper crafting. I feel exactly the same way.
This is a dream come true for me... I've always wanted to be a DT member, but only if it was the right time and for the right company. I truly believe the Lord has led me here for a purpose, and I hope to make Him proud and do all things to His glory!
Here is one of the cards I submitted with my application. This is a super cute digi image called A Gift for You. One thing I LOVE about Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps is all their digi images... adorable images, instant gratification (just pay and download), very reasonably priced, and no shipping cost! And if you're worried, ink jet printer ink works perfectly with Copic markers... no bleeding whatsoever! If you have a photo editing software, you can put a bunch of images (or several copies of the same image) on one page and print entire sheets on your cardstock of choice. I do that all the time and it works great. Plus, if I goof up on the coloring, I have another image ready to go.
I notice that SNSS carries Neenah cardstock, which is the one of THE best for Copic marker coloring.
Other deets on this card: the DP is from Basic Grey's 6 x 6 Mellow Collection. I colored a plain white flower with my Copic markers, and used a funky button with one hole in it (what kind of button is that? LOL), through which I threaded a rhinestone brad. The leaves are actually petals from an identical white flower, which I colored green.
Because I'm in such a good mood today, I'm going to ADD to my Blogaversary Candy offering, so stay tuned for that.
Thanks for stopping by! I'll be back soon with more to share!
