A crop for the DT!

KT Crafts has some of the best message board members around! Just before our Mini Crop in February some of them got together to plan a crop for the Design Team.

Let me just tell you they gave us some good challenges! Not only did they quiz up on how well we knew the members, but their challenges were.. well... uh.. challenging!

So I wanted to share all the challenges

Challenge A: Complete a page using no cardstock. You can use stickers, patterned paper, chipboard ets. BUT there must be atleast 10 words or journaling on the page somewhere! by Christine

Challenge B:
Create a lo or card using bleach and solid colored cardstock. (use cardstock that is not white on the back)

Take a paper towel and fold it into a small square. Place on a small plate or bowl. Soak with bleach.

You can use as a stamp pad, or use q-tips for free hand!

Challenge C
Create a layout on the following:


Number of photos: three

Titles and lettering: Word Collage

Background: Floral

Shapes: Curves

Embellishments/Accents:
Buttons
Cut from patterned paper
mesh

Journaling style: conversational

Color combinations: aqua/bright green/orange
by Brittany

Challenge D
Make a one page LO about something fictitious & it must include at least one picture that best fits the "story." It cannot be something about a Disney character or anything like that. I must be a made up story by YOU. By Beth

This was by far the most difficult of all the challenges for me!

and Finally
Challenge E
You will recieve a BOX to be delivered shortly in the box will be your project/s
You will be dressing up!!
supplies need :- scalpel,or other good cutting tool ,strong glue and a sense of humour!
You will be allowed to add anything to your project/s
ie ribbons,charm,button,flowers
You mut use at least 3 sheets of paper from the box by Rose!

We each got a Word sign in the mail! It was beautiful as it was. We also got some DCWV Dressed up paper stack. OH MY!!!


IT was a rough month trying to do the challenges on top of the other things the Design team was trying to get done, but each of us did them and I have to say I learned something about myself. I do so much better under pressure! I love each of the projects I did! I had fun doing them!

My Valenties!!!

Jason planned some things for me for Valentines...

For Valentines we actually ordered heart shaped pizza with the kids and made banana splits. Fun stuff!

On Saturday Jason sent me out around 9:30 to Planet 21 Salon. There they colored and cut my hair. Funny I thought I would end up with something totally different and the cut itself is not all that different.. just shapped better. But for color I did go darker and I like it!

Then I went to a dear friends house and she did a make over and really blessed me with tons of cool products.

Then I went out to buy a new outfit. When I got home we took the boys to my MIL's and Jason and I went out for a nice dinner. It was a great Valentines...

It has been a busy week. And now, the worst part of my week is over and I am ready to play!!!

Perfect timing too!!!

We are having a crop at KT Crafts this weekend...

We might have a surprise or two up our sleves for this one.... :)


And last night Joshua was awarded his Orange Sr. Belt!!! It has been a good week!

Stressfull, but good!

UH OH....

In order to fully appreciate this post I have to tell a little bit about me...

I am Impossible to surprise!! It just can not be done. I can not think of many times I have every been surprised. I remember back when my mom was planning my 16th birthday surprise party. Well, I happend to come across the invite list and figurged it out.

I KNEW when my hubby was going to purpose. I figured it out. He tried to keep it a secret, but I knew. I could not help it.

Now, I am not saying that I NEVER did some snooping. Honestly as a child I ALWAYS went snooping for my Christmas gifts even playing with them and packaging them back up. Now as an adult I am contantly given a really hard time because I can not be surprised. They say it is always because I am SNOOPING.. I am NOT! :)

So that brings me to today...
DH has been trying to plan something nice for Valentines day. He has been working on it and for over a week. I play around asking him what it is, but knowing he will not tell.

I called him at work because a friend of mine can cut my hair tonight at her house. I was just calling to let him know... ask him what he thinks. She has never cut my hair, but I am pretty adventurous.

When I call he gets really upset.. and says...

"See, it is stuff like this that make it so hard to surprise you!"

Ummm ... What? What stuff? I need a hair cut and I can get it done tonight.

So, apparently he has some big day planned and is planning on me going to get my haircut and some other stuff. He is not happy with me right now because I always find out!

But again.. IT IS NOT MY FAULT! He has never planned something like this before so how was I to know?

Testing and other things

Joshua this morning is at testing. He is testing for his Orange Sr. Belt in Tae Kwon Do. He is pretty nervous! I am sure he will do great so I am sitting at home waiting to hear how he thinks he did. We will not know for sure until the early part of next week, but you always have a good idea.

This afternoon I plan to be making the Valentines for the boys teachers. I found some really great ideas so we will see what I come up with. I have seven to make all together!

Hopefully they will be my next post! ;)

till then!

Why oh why???

I love reading blogs! I even like to write in blogs, but why oh why do I insist on starting my blog when I barly have any time!!! I am going to give this another go..... AGAIN!

So..
