Hello
and welcome to the American Crafts 2013-2014 Design Team Blog Hop! I am so excited to kick off my 2nd term on the American Crafts Design Team with his fun online event. As you're hopping, each new team member will be sharing a little bit about themselves (ourselves?) with you.
So without further ado, here's the layout I created about me.
Supplies: Patterned paper, stickers, chipboard, stitching, embroidery floss resin bow, die cuts, wood veneer, stamps. ink, adhesive, pen: American Crafts; Spray mist: Studio Calico
I stamped and misted the chipboard and then layered pattern paper underneath it and layered it over a die cut and sticker.
I did the same treatment to this wood veneer. The heart is hand embroidered and took me forever but I HEART it!
I hand-stitched ALL OVER this page for forever & a day and then machine stitched the speech bubbles. I then journaled little snippets of info about me on each speech bubble.
I sure hope you like what I created. It's a new fave of mine. Now, on with the hop and my...
GIVEAWAY!
One lucky follower of my blog (new or existing) who leaves a comment on this blog post, telling me something about themselves, will be drawn at random and will receive a collection of American Crafts goodies from the Amy Tangerine Sketchbook collection. I'll pop a photo of it shortly but I am sure you'll love what I've picked out. You have until September 14th to leave your comment. I'll announce the winner on my blog soon after.
BONUS!
You can also find me on Instagram, where I like to share personal photos, exciting news and sneak peeks of projects. I might just have a 2nd giveaway going on over there. ;)
