Prima/Ingvild Bolme Blog Hop

Hello lovely ladies! Here today to share my project for our  monthly hop with the Prima blog.
I decided to go on a Easter kick, mixed media style! I had honey create me this metal basket ( he's always SO HELPFUL! <3 HIM ). The eggs are little Styrofoam ones from my work (Michaels) , and I treated each one differently. I used TONS of chalk edgers. The colors are so amazing! I even did a crackle paint technique using them (tutorial coming soon). Ingvild's junkyard findings line were perfect for the industrial Easter look I wanted. Hope you all like! Make sure to check out the Prima blog to see all the amazing works from my teammies! Wow! That's all I can say!

Graphic 45 Design Team 2014 Audition

 
Bumm Bumm! Bumm Bumm! Do you hear that? Its the sound of my heart jumping out of my chest as I type this! Being a part of the Graphic 45 Team this year has been indescribable!  A honest to goodness DREAM COME TRUE! I'll never ever forget seeing my name on that list last year! And what a whirlwind it has been! I cannot believe a year has passed already! Going through my pix to find the ones to submit was a journey back through the most amazing year in my scrappy life! Thank you so much G45 family for making this such an awe inspiring year for me! And for my fellow DT members, I <3 you all! We've all grown so close! I have to admit I am nervous beyond measure about this new DT call. I'm so excited at the same time, but more nervous than anything. Aren't we all so critical of ourselves? Did I make them proud? Did I do a good job? All these questions whirl through my mind, and that self doubt kicks in! Fingers, toes, eyes, everything crossed that they believe in me enough to keep me on!
So without any more rambling, here are some of my favorite projects I have created this year as part of this inspiring team! And let me tell you how HARD it was to narrow it down! So please excuse the massive amount of projects! I seriously couldn't narrow it down anymore Lol! The first 2 are brand new just for this tryout. There are some ones that haven't been shown yet that I couldn't share either. It was HARD  Lol!
Hugs!
p.s. BEST of luck to all of you applying! I believe in ALL OF YOU!


My 2 new Typography projects. This line is amazing!
The little birdie is covered in the new washi tape. I'm hooked!
This key is HUGE! As in 34 inches long!

Okay so here are my faves of the last year on this amazing team.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 

 





 



 


 
 
 
 

 
Thank you so much for looking! Final words- we are our own worst critics! Accept that your work is BEAUTIFUL, and if you do not make this team, that doesn't negate the fact that you are AMAZING! Timing is everything, and there are so many things that go into consideration. Believe in yourself and know how truly unique you and your work are! BEST OF LUCK! Hugs!
