As you know I love my scrapping and thrive on the challenge of CT (creative team) work. I have been very honoured so far to have been asked personally by the designers to join their team. A great thrill. But I have never had to apply for the postion and put myself "out there". I thought it might be time, maybe try for a couple of guest months here and there with some designers to get out of my comfy box and try new things.
So I did. And this is my first success story.
I was absolutely thrilled to be selected by Natasha (from the Ukraine) to be on her CT. When I saw the competition and realised only a couple of us from Oscraps were chosen I was very humbled. Blown away to be exact. Then of course I began to worry. When you see what people make with her pages my first thoughts were "I can't do that!" They do the most amazing extraction and what I call "fantasy" pages ever! But then I thought about this and came to the realisation that Natasha knew my scrapping style so I would bring that to her designs whilst at the same time venture out and try new things with my own scrapping.
A win win situation it would seem. And here is what I have come up with so far.

That was the reason I applied for Leiko's CT... also the only one I've applied for... and exactly that reason of wanting to challenge myself... which it certainly has been.

Hi Helen,
here's just a short note from me from France. We have a bad internet connection here, there's only one computer and I cannot upload my photo's. I just checked my bank account and now a short visit to say hi to you. We have a wonderful time and weather, in the shadow it's 30C , so imagine in the sun, but the pool is here! Keanu enjoys himself, except that at the moment there are no other kids, wich is a little dissapointed. We took lots of photo's and will drive back home coming saturday morning. So probably I have time sunday evening to update my blog. Take care, my internet minutes are counting down.
Congrats for the new CT !!!
And you start with some amazing pages... I could not tell which one I like most ! They are really stunning !
Oh wow, congrats!!!!! It must be delightful to work with those magical kits! Your pages are awesome, makes me jealous ;-)
