Deborah Nolan asked me awhile back if I was interested in being on the design team over in the pond! Yup! THAT pond! Of course I said, "YES!"I am now an official DT member for The Lily Pad Cards blog! YAY!!! I'm very excited about my first day, which is today! So, if you could please hop on over there and check it out, I'd love it!
BUT THAT'S NOT ALL!!
There is some other exciting news they're announcing today too. There will be a new challenge every month called, Virginia's View. That's right! The Virginia that we all know and love is also a new member of the design team, and she will have her very own challenge every month! Woo, hoo! Isn't that the coolest thing?! Now you know why I'm so excited! Not only am I on a design team, I'm joined by my good friend, Virginia!
So here is the very first inspiration photo, for the very first Virginia's View challenge. It's sponsored by Penny Black.
Isn't it beautiful? I was inspired by the pretty shades of pinks and oranges, so I used them on my entire card.
The beautiful background stamp is from Penny Black and is called, Delicate Pattern. After white embossing it on Watercolor paper, I added the colors with Distress Stains. The sentiment is computer generated, and I added a couple of glittery hearts to finish off the card.
Please stop by the Lily Pad Cards blog and take a look at all the exciting news! There's a third new DT member whom many of you know too. Her name is Karin (PeppermintPatty on Flickr.) She has amazing talent, and I'm really looking forward to working with her and getting to know her better!
I want to thank Deborah and Vicky for inviting me to be on the team! Working with the two of them, and all the other members is a dream come true! Am I lucky or what?! I mean, there's not only Deborah and Vicky, there's Lin, Nancy, Latrice and Kathy too! I admire each one of these ladies so much!
So, what are ya waiting for? Hop on over to the pond and join in on all the fun! You can find out all about the challenge and see the gorgeous cards from the other DT members. You won't want to miss it!
Thanks for stopping by - have a great weekend! And don't forget, you still have time to enter my giveaway! Just click here to enter.
