{DDCC #67 DT Project: Make it Happen}
Long time no news, but hey then no news is also good news. My apologies for neglecting all my wonderful loyal blogging buddies, but I am sure as all of you know that this time of year its great just to take a break from the normal routine.
Not that I have as yet let my hair down, as I am preparing for Doing Life's Makaranga Scrapaganza on 30 January 2010. And then of course some exciting scrapbooking news came my way. I was invited to teach at the 8/9 May 2010 Forever Memories (SA agents for Creative Memories) Annual Scrapbooking Conference to be held at the Ocean View Hotel in Cape Town. There was no ways that I was not going to accept. So of course, preliminary planning is also taking place to get the ball rolling for this conference. You can visit their website with the invite and if you are very keen to attend there are some great discounts for early registration. Should you go ahead and register, please state that you have been referred by me and also let me know that you have done so, as us consultants receive commission for every delegate we have recruited. Holding thumbs that Doing Life will be represented well at this conference!
Enough yakking and onto my latest design team project for Dutch Dare Card Challenge #67 which is 'Make it Happen' i.e. use embellishments that you have created yourself. I have stamped the flowers onto patterned cardstock with one of my Making Memories flower stamp sets and then did some faux stitching around the edges. I am just in love with this gorgeous digi stamp. It was so easy to colour with H2O's and isn't she super cute.
I am also entering this card for the following challenges:
Please also take a moment to visit these wonderful challenge blogs and have a look at the DT's gorgeous creations.
I am leaving you all with some pics of a few mad hatters at my recent Doing Life Tweespruit Scrapaganza. There was a prize up for grabs for the best scrapped hat and I am sure you will agree that some of these creations are amazing.
