hello, i'm Leah and i'm a FUNCTIONING MEMBER OF SOCIETY AGAIN!

a job!

i got a job!

a GOOD ONE!

the one i WANTED!

life is GOOD! :D

thank you SO much to everyone who sent me lots of positive energy all this time - it's all paid off!

CHARISMA challenge - my first DT assignment!

woot!
it's a fabulous week, indeed! not only is the whole Make 'it' Crafty thing all official, and i'm the featured artist (!!!) at SNR, but now get to share my very first DT card for the Charisma Cardz challenges! (now if only i'd get that call back with a job offer!)

our challenge this week is for you to create something inspired by a song...
MUSIC is my lifeline, and i couldn't wait to play along with the Charisma Gals for this one! (such a perfect challenge for my big debut!)

prizes, you're wondering? why, YES! we have prizes!
1 winner gets to choose 5 digi stamps of their choice from Pink Cat Studio (FIVE digis, woot!)
1 winner gets a $20 store credit for Simon Says Stamp - that's a lotta swag, folks! and the shipping is COVERED!

i played with my very first Pink Cat Studio image, Lily Mermaid, PLUS i coloured up one of the fabby digi scenes available exclusively at Make 'it' Crafty, "Tropical Beach"... isn't it PERFECT for beachy/summery cards? the little shell and starfish were fussy cut and popped up, but they're part of the scene... here's my card:


(and i couldn't resist gettin' silly for the rest of the sentiment)


here's Lily all blinged up:


i was inspired by Barry frackin' Manilow, of all people! the song is "As Sure As I'm Standin' Here", and i tinkered with the title to make it work for my card.

wanna check out what the rest of the Charisma Gals have done with this one? you wanna play for the nifty prizes mentioned? share your SONG-INSPIRED creations with us, and play along by next Wednesday, and you could be one of the two lucky ones!

a huge thank you to the folks at SNR for giving me this opportunity, and indirectly (rather, unknowingly) encouraging me to step WAY outside my comfort zone and "the box"!

oh, for those of you who don't have a subscription over at SNR, i'll be posting the full story behind my little creation, with more pics and deets, soon. :D

oh, i'll make it, and i'll "Make it Crafty!" with CANDY!

can i tell you how stinkin' excited i am? i'm embarking on yet ANOTHER new journey!



have you had the pleasure of getting to know Zoe (xo!), from Make 'it' Crafty? we were on the TownScrapper design team together, along with the fabulous Maria (hi, Ree!), and lemme tell ya, these gals are SO inspiring! we conspired to do something special together MONTHS ago, and it's finally happening!

i am very, very pleased to be playing along with the fabulous ladies, and Zoe has some great ideas in store that we're all TOTALLY excited to share! the team is simply AMAZING, and i've already gotten a ton of fabby ideas from my cronies. just WAIT until you see their creations - WHOA! you'll be awe-struck, i promise.

we'll be throwing down two challenges per month and hope you'll be playing along - the prizes are fantastic, and i guarantee you'll be inspired, too!
