This Is What Life Is All About

*click here to check out the details for our DT call*

Oh happy Monday! How was your weekend? Mine was pretty crazy. Where most of you look forward to the weekend and dread Monday's; I look forward to Monday's and dread the weekend. Even though I go to school all week it is a little more relaxed around my house M-F.

Today I have a fabulous LO to share with you that our Delightful Designer, Julie, created using our February kit.

JULIE

This month's kit was one of my favs and it stinks I haven't been able to play with it more. But I am excited about all the inspiration I got from our DT this month so when I do get time to craft I will know where to start. :-) For more details about this LO, please visit Julie's blog.

Alright well I have 2 more projects to share with you this month using our February scrapbook kit so be sure to stop back tomorrow and Wednesday. :-)

Scooting By To Say Hi

Good Morning! Did you see yesterday's post? Artful Delight is having a DT call and I also shared our March kit.

I am sad to say today is the last card I will be sharing with your from our Delightful Designer, Abby. She has been awesome to work with over the last year and super talented. :-)

ABBY

Holey Moley this card is superb!!! From the pattern paper she chose to the paper piecing on that fabulous scooter. LOVE it!! For more details about this card please visit Abby's blog.

Now, last but certainly not least: Artful Delight is having a DT call. The term will start May 1 and end with our October kit. Please read the details below. I will leave this open for the month of March - please email me your projects no later than March 31. The DT will be chosen within a week or so and be contacted.

DESIGN TEAM INFORMATION AND REQUIREMENTS

• I am looking for 2-3 designers; I would like for you to enjoy making both cards and scrapbook LO's but it isn't necessarily required (won't be a deal breaker if you only do one or the other, please still apply) - will be choosing 1-2 team members to receive the card kit and 1-2 team members to receive the scrapbook kit
  
• design team members must have a blog and will be asked to post their projects there
• you will be responsible for creating a minimum of 4 projects a month; We will coordinate one day each week that you can post your project - will be the same day for the DT term (I am flexible with this if for some reason your day conflicts with another DT or posting obligation)
  
• the term will be 6 months starting May 1 and ending October 31
  
• the design team member will be sent an Artful Delight monthly kit to work with and the projects created each month should be at least 75% from the kit; other products can be used but please primarily use the kit
• design team members will be asked to visit the blogs of those who enter the monthly sketch challenge and leave a comment
• design team members are asked to post about the new kit and the contents on their blog on the 25th of each month and have a logo in the sidebar linking to the Artful Delight store

If this sounds like something you would be interested in please email me a few of your most recent (within the last month) projects. You can submit anything you would like, cards, LO's, altered items, ETC. In the subject line please just put "DT call."

I think that is the basics of our DT requirements. You have a little over a month to get submissions sent over. :-)

19 months

Good Morning and Happy Friday! Wow the last 2 days have been pretty busy. Our town has a FB group where you can sell stuff like you would at a yard sale. I put just a few things on there yesterday and had such a huge response that I have been spending that last 2 days taking photos of the stuff we need/want to sell and getting it posted. We are pretty much selling all of our stuff. With the exception of our couches, our kitchen table that we built, our clothes, and of course my craft stuff. LOL!! I just need to get my butt in gear. :-)

Anywho it is Friday again and I am super excited. I have some awesome projects I will be sharing this weekend and I would like to start today with a LO that our Delightful Designer, Kelly created.

KELLY

Fabulous!!! Love it all, the detail and the colors. :-) For more details about this LO please visit Kelly's blog.

That's it for today. Well actually I might be back later to announce the winner of the sketch challenge. Oh, I totally forgot, I won't be having a Spotlight Saturday tomorrow because it is the 25th and that is the new kit reveal day. I will be showcasing Marcia's last project on the 28th.

You're just my type

Good Morning my friends! Hope everyone is doing well. I have been on the hunt for a new job. Full time job during the week. :-0 That would mean putting my kids in daycare and that makes me nervous. Mainly for their safety and the fact that being at home and kinda doing what they want all day is all they have known. I am worried they won't understand the structure that comes from a daycare.

I am also worried about the cost. I have come to terms with the fact that I will probably be putting about half of what I could possibly make a month in to daycare fees but who knows with 3 lil ones. LOL!!

Anywho, can you believe this month is almost over? March will be here before we know it.

Today I have a fabulous card to share with you that our Delightful Designer, June created using our February card kit. :-)

JUNE

Isn't it so cute?? :-) I love the colors and pattern papers she chose. For more details about this card please visit June's blog.

Tomorrow is the last day to enter this month's sketch challenge, be sure to upload your project in the sidebar for your chance to win March's monthly kit. :-)

When Did This Happen?

Good Morning and Happy Monday! Unfortunately my entire family is sick with a really nasty cold. It is going to be a long week. :-( Fingers crossed no one gets the flu bug that seems to be going around here. I can handle a cold I can't handle the flu.

Today I have a super fabulous LO to share with you that our Delightful Designer, Julie created using our February scrapbook kit.

I love LO's that show a timeline like this. What a perfect day to share this LO because today is Adam's(the star of the LO, Julie's son) birthday. Happy 15th Birthday Adam!! My daughter will be 15 in two months and I just can't believe it. Where has the time gone? Next year she driving and old enough to get a job. YIKES!!

For more details about this LO, please visit Julie's blog. If you would like to purchase a February kit, please click here! And don't forget to play along with this month's sketch challenge. You have until the 23rd to link up your project for you chance to win March's monthly kit. :-)

Congratulations

Good Morning and Happy Sunday!! I hope you are all having a pleasant weekend. I will be spending most of my day at home but I was asked to cover someone's shift tonight because she couldn't work so I will be working for a few hours but that is ok.

Today I have a super duper awesome card to share with you that our Delightful Designer, Abby created using our February card kit.

ABBY

I LOVE the color combo she used and wow, just gorgeous card!! For more details about this card, please visit Abby's blog. :-)

That's it for today, be sure to stop by tomorrow. I will have more projects to share with you. :-)
