I made the ILWS Design Team!! Yip yip yippee!

Boohoo - I went back to work today ... and started my studying again ... but...

Wahay - I made the In Love With Stamping Design Team!!

The forum had a Cup Challenge on Saturday night and the crafting was fun, frantic and fantastic! We worked in teams (great chat and team spirit from everyone - Go Bold Brights!!) and for each challenge we had an hour to complete our card(s), photograph them and upload them to the gallery. There were prizes/kudos for each category winner and for the team with the most entries.

Our first challenge was a sketch:

I decided to start with a very quick card to get something up onto the gallery as soon as I could.

Recipe

Stamp sets: Animal Stories, Fresh Cuts (sentiment)

Cardstock: Creamy Caramel, Close to Cocoa, Ruby Red, Very Vanilla

Ink: Ruby Red, Chocolate Chip

Other: Ruby Red Brads

Then I followed up with a more considered one.

Recipe

Stamp sets: In My Garden, Fresh Cuts (sentiment)

Cardstock: Brilliant Blue, Summer Sun, Brocade Blue, Whisper White

DSP: Pink Flamingo

Ink: Black Stazon, Night of Navy, Markers

Other: Brilliant Blue Brads

I'll post recipes for more of my entries over the next few days.

The standard of crafting on the night was amazingly high (I'm gonna have my work cut out as a DT member) and I came nowhere near winning any category. You can see the winners here.

I did win Elaine's blog candy today though and I get the ingredients and instructions for these beautiful creations here. Thanks Elaine!!

Keeping my fingers crossed that we don't have too much of the snow that's been forecast.

Thanks for stopping by.
