Holiday Cards from the Guest Designers

Lisa Marie

Here are two pretty holiday cards from our Fall/Winter guest designers, Lisa Marie and Collette.  Lisa made a Thanksgiving card and even used real pinecones for accents!  Collette created a sweet Christmas nativity card using a new digi called 'Mary.' 

Collette

Hope your holiday card creations are well on their way to being finished.

Who am I kidding:)...

I wrap all presents on Christmas Eve~ never, ever ahead of schedule.

But a girl can dream:)!

Happy early Thanksgiving!

Happy Red, White, and Blue!

Card by Anniebee.

Happy Fourth of July, lovelies!!

Butterfly Princess.

A card from Denimo.

Butterfly princess-- cropped.  I think cropping is one of my favorite ways to show off a digi...It really gives it a whole new look!  Love this card!

Hop on over to our sweet girl's blog and say hello!

Her cards are simply spectacular!

Happy Monday, loves.

Guest DT Selection!

Well, that was very difficult!  

Sorry to be posting this so late in the day...but I've sat here forever...and gone back and forth for the last two days, looking at DT votes and going through all the entries one more time (...and then again, just one more time:).  The thing is, I know a lot of you now just by your name below the linky thumbnail:).  It is exciting to go through all your entries and see the beautiful coloring and amazing creations!

I'd love to ask you all to join.  Seriously.  I'm still trying to figure out how that would work:):)...But, for this guest DT call, I did stick to the rules...And here are the two ladies the team and I have selected.

Anniebee

Congrats Denise and Anniebee!!!!!  Your coloring is simply breathtaking.  And we loved your styles! You both will make a great summer addition to our team of talented ladies!

And thank you, thank you to all who submitted for the two guest spots.  Our lists were much longer than the allotted two spaces...It took quite a bit of thinking and re-thinking to narrow it down at all.  And please!!!!  Submit again for the guest spots in September!  We'd love to invite two new girls in the fall to work on some Halloween and Christmas images!!:)...

Have a lovely week, friends!

Welcome June and Guest Dt Call!

Hello Saturday!!

First, I'd like to introduce you to June:).  She is our new DT girl...I've admired her work forever, and I finally couldn't resist any longer:).  I invited her to our team this week, and she said 'yes'!!  Wa-hooo!  

I'm excited to have you on board, June...Your cards are always lovely!  

I'd like to invite two girls to join our DT for the summer months, that's the rest of June, July, and August.  Here are the details:

*You would be required to submit a card for each new challenge.

*You should have a blog to post your creations to.

*You may submit a DT card to the Little Darlings Challenge Blog as well.

*You will receive your favorite new digis from each release while on the team.  

*You will get to play with some new exclusive stamps released this summer at CHA.

I like to keep things simple-- I think crafting should be fun and lighthearted, so I don't like to keep things too rigid around here:).  We are an easy-going bunch...

The guest DT submissions will be voted on by the SC DT and myself.  We take a lot of time to think about the best fit for the positions.  It is a difficult task.  I'd like to say upfront, please submit again in the future if you don't get selected this time.  We will continue to invite new guests through the year!

*Link your entry to our submission call below.  

*Only one entry per blogger, please.

*Linky closes Saturday, June 23 at 10am EST.* 

No late submissions can be accepted.

We will announce the guest Dt positions Sunday, June 24...Just in time for the new release that Wednesday!  

Good luck, friends!!

Guest DT Members

Hello lovelies!  Well, today is the day:).  The DT and I spent so much time looking through the entries to our guest DT call.  We each submitted votes.  A big handful of all our favorites.  Commented...Looked through each other's choices.  Commented again:).  Then, we each whittled down our 'favorite list' to approx. 6 entries.  I tallied up our number of votes for each entry on the list.  We had four girls who ended up with the most...and I couldn't choose between them.  So, we have invited four girls to be our guest designers for the next three months.

Here they are:

#118, Vicky

#123, Angela

#117, Mary

#21, Rimna

This was truly a labor of love...I can't tell you how many of your entires received multiple votes... The girls and I each have different tastes and styles...so a huge number of cards were talked about.  I seriously considered having 124 guest designers for the next three months:).  Really, no joke!  This was a super hard choice, but we all feel good about our final decision.  

I hope each of you put in again in April, when we have our next guest call.  The last thing I want is for anyone to feel discouraged.  I know the feeling of being rejected (believe me! I have saved all my rejection letters from publishers:).....But, please know, we are not rejecting any of you!! Simply asking that you put in again next time!!  

Like I said, I'd invite each of you if I could.  I am in the middle of a blog re-design for our place here...and I'm pretty sure my designer would kill me if I asked him to make 124 badges for links to my guest designers' blogs:).  So, for now, we invite these four amazing, lovely ladies to join our team. I hope you are as inspired by their creations as we are!!  I can't wait to show you their first official team cards later this week:)!!  

Thank you again, ladies!!  Have a lovely Monday!!
