Welcome Friends! Today marks the start of our third six months here in the Tea Room ... and we have a couple new, smiling and talented designers to share their talents with us all! Let us all {officially} welcome Charlene, Danielle and Kristin to our Shabby Tea Room Family! The excitement of the new DT members joining the team today is also bittersweet, as we say goodbye to Cathy, Clare and Nicole. We so enjoyed being inspired by their beautiful designs for the past six months and look forward to seeing them in the Tea Room again for our weekly challenges as their schedules allow! Thank you girls :) Miss you already!!
This week I am your host and have a challenge with a fun little twist for you all to shake things up a bit ...
... using this inspiration board as a starting point for your design, please choose any THREE IN A ROW embellishments to create a card or project with this week! For example, you may decide to use brads, buttons and die cuts on your card ... OR you may decide to use buttons, flowers and glitter on your project! Basically, a wild card week! Use ANY THREE IN A ROW, and please be sure to include which items you chose in your blog post!
BONUS ... anyone using all 9 embellishment choices will go into a random drawing for 5 yards of Shabby Vintage Seam Binding from my Etsy Shop! Just be sure to leave me a comment on my Simple Treasures blog post HERE letting me know your submission number and that you used all nine embellishments in order to be considered for the BONUS prize :)
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 - Michelle Bala! Michelle is a 'regular' here in the Tea Room ... treating us all weekly to some of her delicious paper crafted confections!!!
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!
Deb Saaranen - Dream In Color
