Things are getting exciting....

at The Memory Zone for the Design Team. We took a walk around the store last night to see what the other half of the DT is creating. All I can say is...WOW!!! I see most of this stuff in the gallery, but it just does not do it the justice it deserves! Not only are those ladies a blast to hang with, but they are a really creative bunch of gals! Of course, most of you already knew that. I'm just now sort of coming in on that boat - LOL!

I stopped in at the store a couple of hours before the meeting so that I could shop around at my leisure without a 4 yr. old daughter asking for every paper & sticker known to scrapper, or a 15 yr. old son calling me on my cell phone every 10 minutes from the van asking me how much longer am I going to be. Tsk! This time was wonderful! I got to visit with a couple of the ladies that work there & see Barb in action as she was creating her fantastic Batter Up page. She says her stuff is "boring" WHAT???!!! I have always loved her work! It's always so perfect with clean lines & never looks cluttered. Her pages have the best pictures & her layouts perfectly focus on them! How can THAT be boring?

Everyone is getting the Winter CHA fever as stuff starts to slowly trickle in. I heard that the Glimmer Mist, Tim Holtz Crackle paint & die cut Grungeboard shapes were in the store. Boy, you gotta be quick! There was only one bottle of the Glimmer Mist left in a Black Cherry, but I let Becky have it because I'm holding out for Coffee Bean first. I did get some of the Grungeboard shapes that I've been dying to get my hands on!! YAY!! You should feel these things, they feels like suede, but smell terrible when you first open the package! There's lots of sheets in the package with several different "themes", so lots of project ideas are covered. I got the swirls & it comes with brackets & hinges, butterflies, hearts, wings & pirate-like stuff! The ideas are just swimming in my head!

Here is a little Thank you card I made the other day with some left over papers I had. It's pretty simple to make but makes a big statement, I think.



Well, that's all for today, but if you want to see more of my Design Team work, just click on the TMZ DT Gallery link off to the right & a have a great day!
