Spellbinders DT Submissions Part 1

I think I am still floating in the clouds!! I am so excited about being on the Spellbinders 2008 Design Team!! I have to say WOW I am so very fortunate to be in the company of all these very talented ladies!! I can't wait until January when we will all get to meet in Phoenix, Arizona .

I wanted to share with you the designs that I submitted for the DT. For the submissions we had to design four items, a 12 x 12 scrapbook LO, a card, an altered item & something with stamping. I am going to show you these in two different posts (part 1 & part 2) so make sure you check back! *wink*

As most of you know I'm somewhat new to the scrapbooking so this is going to be my big challenge of the year! But I am looking forward to it and most of my friends that scrapbook keep telling me to think of it as a huge card with pictures-lol! So that's what I did and I was really happy with how it turned out.I made the leaves and the tag using the Wizard and the Assorted Leaves
(S4 076) embossing & stenciling die and copper craft foil. I took these pictures of the boys a couple of years ago on a beautiful autumn day.

I had so much fun designing this card!! I knew I wanted to do something with the Butterfly Reflections (S3 038) embossing and stenciling die. I LOVE butterflies!! I thought about it for a couple of days, sketched it out and went to work.To add some dimension I rolled the petals of the flowers and some of the leaves. I also used silicone adhesive to attach all of the die cut pieces.
