Welcome Friends ... the Shabby Girls are so excited that this week is finally here!! What a quick year it has been since our very first challenge back on March 15, 2010 - 'Elegant Shabby'! We are honored to have had the opportunity to 'meet' so many of you in blog land over the past year and truly value the time you spend here in the Tea Room with us all each week!
So, let the BIRTHDAY BASH festivities begin!!! This week Clare is our host and she has chosen the theme of 'Party Time' for us to design with along with this fun inspiration photo ...
... and Clare asks that you design a CARD, BANNER and/or GIFT with a BIRTHDAY OR CELEBRATION THEME! (You need not use the colors in the inspiration photo.)
Note: Because we are sponsored weekly by wonderful businesses who have graciously donated products and in the interest of fairness to all participants, any entries that do not follow our simple challenge rules will remain in the gallery but will not be eligible for the weekly prizes. Thanks for your understanding and participation!
I am pleased to introduce you all to this week's Guest Designer - Sherry Wright! Sherry earned this Guest Designer spot for her win during Week #44 in the Tea Room - 'Sketch This'! Sherry has continued to WOW us all weekly with her amazing talents!
And ... INTRODUCING a BRAND NEW feature beginning this March in the Tea Room -- MONTH-LONG GUEST DESIGNER SPOTS - yippiee! We had so many fabulous entries for our most recent Design Team Call that is was impossible to narrow all of the gorgeousness down to just two positions. After giving it some careful thought and consulting with the Design Team girlies, we decided to invite a few designers that are regulars here in the Tea Room and who submitted exceptionally beautiful application projects to Guest Design with the Shabby Girls for a month at a time -- FUN! Please help me welcome our very first month-long Guest Designer ... Deb Saaranen!
Do you want to be the next Month-Long Guest Designer with the Shabby Girls? It's very simple to apply ... simply participate in our weekly challenges and WOW us with your projects! The Shabby Girls might be calling on you to be the next Month-Long Guest Designer!!! Stay tuned :)
