Next Designer Contest - Round 2

Well...I made it to Round 2!! Very excited, I must say!

So....as you will see, this is not my normal packaging - but that was part of the challenge. I really like how this kit came out - we were given a theme and title, both of which are SUMMER AFTERNOON. We had to use the packaging provided and they didn't leave us a spot to put the kit name and basically told us to be creative - so I was!

So - here's my entry:



And of course, I have a freebie for you:



You will need to go to the Studio gallery HERE **download links expired** to get the kit and you can click HERE **download links expired** for the entry.

Thanks for stopping by and for all your support!!

Next Designer Contest

Okay - I think I am hooked!! I am loving design contests - I think it's because it gives me a specific focus - takes out some of the thought process so certain decisions are made for me and I can just go and design!

I decided to try the Next Designer Contest over at theStudio! So, for the first challenge, we were given a palette to work with and the theme was Daybreak. I opted for that "get in the caffeine while sitting on the patio overlooking my garden type feel". After all - daybreak is when the sun comes up...everybody needs that coffee first!!

So, here's my contest entry - you need to go over to theStudio forum/gallery to pick it up. AND - there's a freebie add on below my contest entry!!! Click on the image and it will take you over to theStudio!



And here's the freebie....there's 5 additional papers, 4 elements and an alpha!! (the alpha includes uppers, lowers, numbers and some symbols)



To download the freebie, you can click the image or CLICK HERE!

Thanks for stopping by!! ENJOY!!

Designer's Apprentice - Challenge #5

This is the last Designer's Apprentice challenge - I am actually sorry to say - I have enjoyed the contest immensely!! I would like to once again thank Sara of DSA for hosting the challenge - she was very organized and had this contest running smoothly!! And I would like to thank my mentor once again - who I believe has requested to remain anonymous, but was tremendous help! So if you read this - THANK YOU AGAIN!!

Onto the goodies!!

Here is this week's entry - we had to make 10 elements, only 5 could use CU and 4 had to be basic, and 6 layered. There were some other details, but that's the basic challenge. (there are over 20 elements here and 2 lowercase alphabets!)



You need to run over to DSA to get the elements. You can get it HERE or click the picture above. Either will send you over to DSA.

And here is your freebie:


**LINKS EXPIRED**

Again, you can click HERE or on the picture to download it! I hope you enjoy it, because I had a lot of fun making it!
