Design Team - Victory project


True to the Sports theme that Victory was designed for, Mychelle used the paper to create this adorable game day pennant.  It is attached to a stick so that it could be stood up into a vase or display.  This would be perfect for a party or crop.  

 
Today wraps up Mychelle's time as our featured design team member.  I think you'll join me in thanking her for her awesome contributions and art!  You can find more information on her at her website:  http://mychellesharpe.ctmh.com

Introducing Mychelle Sharpe!!


Mychelle is the sixth member of this semester's Design Team.  She took on the assignment of using the new paper packet Victory for a number of projects.  Here's the company's take on the Victory kit:


Mychelle has been with CTMH for about three and a half years.  For her, scrapbooking is her favorite part of paper crafting.  She has always loved taking pictures so being able to preserve her memories and share them them is very important to her.
Mychelle's family loves sports, camping and traveling.  She is blessed to have a wonderful husband and three children.  They also have two dogs and a cat (who thinks she's a dog).  When Mychelle is not busy with family or scrapbooking, she always enjoys gardening, board games and reading.

We start out with this  card that Mychelle made:



Sit back and enjoy some fabulous Victory art over the next couple of weeks!  Plus, You can find more information on Mychelle and what she does at http://mychellesharpe.ctmh.com

Design Team - Stella layout

We wrap up Kelli's time as Featured Design Team member by sharing this great layout for Stella.











 Kelli used the "Just for you" flower again, this time customizing it with colors that would match her layout.
 She also made great use of a stamped alphabet here, filling in the circles with "splashes" of color to highlight the water park theme.

I think you'll agree that Kelli did a great job on her projects!

Design Team - Stella card #2

Today Kelli shares with us this cute card using the Stella paper packet.

This card shows a couple of the beautiful papers that come with Stella, as well as one of my favorite stamp sets, "Just for You."  This stamped flower is easy to do since it matches one of the cricut cartridge shapes.
