Welcome the 2015 My Scraps & More Design Team!

First off, I want to thank EVERYONE who took the time to apply for the DT call!  I know from experience how nerve racking these calls can be, and I know FAR too well the disappointment that can come along with not making a team.  But NEVER stop applying!  You just never know when something you write or submit catches the reader'e eye for one reason or another!

The current Design Team, Lisa Moen, Missy Whidden, Wendy Robinson, and Tracy Rhodes and I have been together for almost 3 years!!!!  We finish each others....posts....(you thought I was going to say sentences, huh?).  We have worked so incredibly well as a team and I love these girls dearly!  Sadly, Tracy will be leaving the DT, but we hope that she continues to be an integral part of our forum community.

As the store grows, so must our reach to our customers, so that's why we are bringing in some new faces!  So without further jabbering, please welcome the new 2015 DT ladies:

Jennifer Haggerty

Lisa Spiegel

Brianna Marshall

Tina Gale Husong

I am so excited about what these ladies are going to bring to the team, and you are going to LOVE what they do!

************** 12 Days of Christmas*************

Our 12 days of Christmas challenges are still going strong on the forum!  Today's challenge, Dec. 8, is about 8 Maids-a-Milking....that's right...use white paint or ink on your page!  The background paper on my LO is from Echo Park Capture Life B&W, and the other papers are from Elle's Studio Good Cheer, plus some bits from Fancy Pants Oh Deer!

And do you recognize the word "Santa" in the title?  It's from the free cut file available in the store!

I tried this new technique that I saw on this Mixed Media Artists website I go to sometimes. Basically, you take some thread (like sewing thread....not embroidery because it's too thick) and you cut a long piece about 18". Wet the string a bit and then holding one end, you dip it into paint. Wipe the excess paint off with your fingers. Then you old the string over your paper, still holding just one end, and "drop" it onto your paper (don't let go of the end, though). Then gently just lift it off the page! It's fun and creates some cool lines!
