Just roll with it!!

*Click here for details about our DT call*

Good Morning!! Happy Leap Day!!! :-) I am here to share with our final project for this month using our February kits. Our Delightful Designer, June, created this lovely using our February card kit.

JUNE

Love how bright and colorful this card is!!! LOVE it!! For more details about this card please visit June's blog.

I will be back tomorrow with our new sketch challenge. :-)

Spotlight Saturday....oooops I mean Tuesday! :-)

Good Morning! Well since the 25th fell on a Saturday I had to move our Spotlight Saturday to the next available day which is today. :-)

Marcia was the winner of our January sketch challenge and I just loved her work. I invited her to be our Guest Designer in February and she accepted. She has totally ROCKED the February scrapbook kit.

This is Marcia's last post this month and she is going out with a bang. Not only did she make a LO but she made 2 cards all using the February scrapbook kit. :-)

MARCIA

If you have been following us each Saturday you will see Marcia has created 4 LO's and 4 cards!!! That is AWESOME!!! I don't mean to toot our own horn or nothing but our kits are JAM PACKED with lots of goodies. Many of my DT members say they still have products left even a month or two after they have created all their projects. Our kits really are well worth your money.

I wanted to point out a few things about our kits: I didn't start a kit club to be able to make a living or support my family. I started the kit club because of my love of the craft. I love paper crafts. I love blogging. I love meeting new people. I love everything about what I do. If I was in it to make a living, with all the stuff that is packed in there, I could easily charge double what I do. But I don't. I don't want to break the bank. We can all agree that paper crafting is an EXPENSIVE hobby. I also don't put any money in to fancy packaging or anything like that. I like to keep any money I have and put it in to product for the kits. So I package the paper and embellishments with whatever I have on hand. I reuse packaging I may get from manufacturers or other purchases I make......so that way you will get more product in your kits to play with.

I want to get our name out there. I want people to know Artful Delight as an awesome kit club; kits packed with a ton of stuff for an awesome price. If you haven't tried our kits, but think you might want to....I can assure you, you won't be disappointed. Over the last year and a half I have had an amazing group of ladies to work with and help promote AD. Each term we bring in a group of VERY TALENTED (and SUPER sweet) ladies to help spread the word about Artful Delight.

With that said, if you are interested in purchasing a kit, click here. If you have any questions or concerns, please email me. leeanne@artfuldelight.com

AND if you would like to be a part of our team, please click here for details!!

Please, visit Marcia's blog for more details about today's projects and a ton of inspiration!!

This Is What Life Is All About

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. :-)

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. :-)

Spotlight Saturday

Good Morning and Happy Saturday!! Today I am back for another Spotlight Saturday. Marcia is joining us again and we have more wonderful crafty good-ness to share.

MARCIA

hidden journaling:

Just amazing!! Do you see the hidden journaling above? Oh yeah, she embossed the sticky back canvas again. Totally going to have to try that. :-) For more details about these projects please visit Marcia's blog. :-)

Don't forget to play along with our sketch challenge. You have until Feb 23rd to link up for your chance to win our March monthly kit. :-)



Here is the sketch, just link up in the sidebar. :-)

I Love My Life

Good Morning!! WOW, is it the weekend already? I feel like just yesterday I was saying TGIF...

Well I am all done with my tests for the week so technically I can take it easy this weekend. I DO play on crafting. I made a card yesterday for a friends birthday and I also made some yummy treats to bring to school.

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

KELLY

LOVE the colors she put together. Love all the elements. Just perfect.

Next I have the card I made using the scrapbook kit. Mostly just the papers and flower embellishment pack is from the kit. I used my i-rock and a different stamp set.

LEEANNE

And these are the treats. I made them for my family earlier in the week and they are supposed to be brownies but for bringing them to school and hopefully keeping myself from eating too much I tried them as cupcakes. When they were brownies and I had to cut myself a piece it ended up being a larger piece than I should have really eaten. Don't they look delicious. I gave everyone at school a disclaimer. You have to like chocolate, peanut butter, and cheesecake to have one. They were without a doubt delicious!!!!!

That's it for today. Stop by tomorrow for another Spotlight Saturday featuring Marcia.

Just A Note

Good Morning! Just a quick post today! I have a fabulous card to share with you that our Delightful Designer June created using our February card kit. The card kit is sold out but we still have some scrapbook kits. Click here to check it out!

JUNE

Documented

Happy Monday my friends!! How was your weekend? Are you ready to get this week started? I am only because I want to get my tests done, turned in, and behind me. LOL!! I finished all of one test and almost all of my second test and this morning I am working on the third test. The third test will probably take me the longest.
Oh well, I only have like 9 weeks left of school. I think I can handle it. :-)

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

JULIE

I love the banner at the bottom and all the elements she added to the page. :-) For more details about this LO, please visit Julie's blog. :-)

That's it for today. I will announce the winner of the giveaway tomorrow. :-)

Scooting by to say hi and Just roll with it!

Good Morning and Happy Sunday. Boy, oh, boy was it windy and cold here last night. We had a wind advisory for all of Saturday and it carried in to this morning. I am so done with the cold. I didn't get to craft last night but I did finish all of one test and half of another so all I have is one full test and the rest of the other half. Not too bad. I have until Wednesday to finish them.

I would like to take a moment and send a HUGE Happy Birthday out to our February birthdays. For my current giveaway I asked that you leave a comment telling me your plans for the weekend and it seems like a large number of comments left said you were either celebrating your own birthday or a family member's birthday. So HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! :-)

Ok, so next I would like to share with you two AB(BY)-SOLUTELY F-AB(BY)-ULOUS cards that our Delightful Designer, AB(BY) created. I would like to mention that this is Abby's last month as a Delightful Designer. Abby has been sharing her AMAZING creations with us each month for the last year. I thought her work was amazing a year ago and I must say they have ALL just gotten even more amazing. She will be greatly missed.

But enough of that sadness, we still have Abby on our team for the rest of the month. So let's get to it!! :-)

ABBY

WOW! WOW!!! Just WOW!! I love this stamp set to begin with and Abby just made me love it even more. Love the colors and the paper piecing. So between June's absolutely fabulous paper pieced scooter and these two paper pieced scooters, I will most certainly be sharing with you my version of a paper pieced scooter. LOL!!

For more details about these cards, please visit Abby's blog. Also, today is the last day to enter our current giveaway. Click here. I will announce a winner either tomorrow or Tuesday. :-)

Spotlight Saturday

Good Morning!! I would like to welcome back Marcia this week for another Spotlight Saturday. Today she has 2 projects to share with us.

First up is a Valentine's Day card.

MARCIA

I love what she did with this card. The hearts are the sticky backed canvas sheet that is included in the kit. Did you know you could emboss the canvas? I didn't!

Next I would like to share with you the LO she created.


Fabulous LO!! For more details about these projects please visit Marcia's blog.

That's all for today. I am headed off to get ready for work. Oh, don't forget to enter my giveaway I have going on, it ends tomorrow. Click here to enter!!

TGIF, let's have a giveaway!!!

I LOVE giveaways....can you tell? I am happy it is Friday. I totally had plans of crafting when I got home from school last night but time got away from me and it was just too late. I wanted to craft today but I have to work on my take home tests. I have three and they are due on Tuesday and Wednesday and I have to work all weekend so I need to be productive. PLUS I need to get my kids out of the house. They have been cooped up too long.....so off to Monkey Joe's we go. Spend a couple hours there, have lunch and come home. Wear them out, and probably me while we are at it. So no crafty project! :-(

BUT, instead let's have a giveaway. I have plenty of stuff to giveaway. It is another random box of goodies. Most of it is extras from past kits. Some may be gently or partly used personal supplies. 6x6 pads with a few sheets removed/used, partial used packages of embellishments, etc.....But most of it is new.

Please just leave me a comment letting me know what you have planned for your weekend. I will chose a winner on Sunday evening (Feb 12th).

Enjoy Nature

Good Morning my friends! Yay, it's Thursday!! I cannot wait for this week to be over. :-)

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

Fantastic, I just LOVE all the detail. For more details, please visit Kelly's blog.

Super quick post. I just realized I didn't finish my test that is due tonight. Thankfully it is only a few questions but with my three children, three questions could take a really long time.
