I chose some of my projects to share.
I'm not alone the other members of the Design Team have posted their favourite projects on the Blog, worth a look if you have a minute or two :0) We have all got quite differing styles of crafting.
This card for me is the essence of what I try to achieve when making a clean and simple card:0)
and here is one of my first projects, something a bit fishy LOL
Last is one of my favourite pages from the Calendar project that we have just finished. I like the colours of the fall leaves with the contrasting background, they aren't dissimilar to the first card,
It has been a revelation to me, I thought the calendar was a huge undertaking but I'm so glad to have attempted and finished it all and am really pleased with the result! My lesson learned, don't be put off by a large project and take small steps to achieve. Thanks to the support of the lovely team members and Sandy and Isabelle for coming up with the inspiration.
I have thoroughly loved being part of the Craft Barn team and I feel so privileged to have been chosen. It's six months since I joined the design team and it's flown by so quickly. Working with the really talented team has truly inspired me and so have our wonderful customers when they have participated and by leaving kind comments. Learning to work to a time limit and incorporate new products into my work is good because I have been known to prevaricate if left alone too long!
Next year I'm hoping that our journals will play a part in the design team repertoir. This is a new adventure and I'm loving playing with it so far. Colour is going to be explored soon and I'm really looking forward to expanding my knowledge.
Well done if you made it to the end of this post and thank you for joining me on my journey, Gay xxx
