Bugaboo Is Having a DT Call !!!

We are looking for a few new Design Team Members who love Bugaboo as much as we do! 

Please help spread the word!

How Long Is the DT Call Open?

We are going to try something a little different this round. There are two rounds to our call.

1. Create a post and link it below. Post must include 1 Bugaboo project and 2 other of your favorite projects. Please note these can be new or older projects it is your choice. This phase of the call will be open until November 10^th midnight EST. We will contact those who have been chosen to move on to round 2. Please make sure we have your email.

2 If you are chosen to continue to round 2, we will  send you a predetermined image which you will make a project and turn back into us it would make things much quicker and give you more time to create if you make sure your email is in your post of the first round.

What Kind of Responsibilities Does the DT Have?

As a DT Member you would be required to take part in a minimum of 4 projects and a maximum of 6 assignments throughout the month. You will know all of the upcoming challenges and assignments and most can be worked on ahead of time.
Is It OK If I'm on Another DT?
Not to worry, as long as you can commit to the Bugaboo DT and are not conflicted with other DT work then of course feel free to apply, but please consider the new workload before you apply, the last thing we want is for you to struggle to keep up with the assignments, this is meant to be fun and stress free, not a job that you feel obliged to do, so again please do keep that in mind
What If I've Never Been on a DT Before?
Not a problem at all, we welcome all applications whether you have DT experience or not, in fact we would encourage peeps with no previous DT experience to try out for our Design Team, more so over those that do, we want to give everyone a fair chance
When Will the New DT Be Announced?
The new DT Members will be announced by November 29th.  New Term officially begins on January 1, 2011.

Good Luck!

Challenge Time At Crafty Ho’s

So today is Sunday which means that it's time for another Crafty Ho's Challenge! That's right, a great group of friends of mine, the 'Ho's', created a challenge blog called Crafty Ho's Challenge Blog! Each week on Sunday we share with everyone more creations using the same challenge as inspiration! Thanks to everyone who participated in our “Sketch Challenge”  last week, we are so lucky to have such great followers.

.

This week the challenge is an inspiration challenge what do you think of when you see the above picture?  Well to me it is autumn all the way that is way I used the Fall image from Bugaboo's AKV Fall. I used designer paper from a stack pack I had added ribbon and felt flowers from my stash.  The sentiment was a freebie which I love.

 

What is your Cause?

Today over at Catch the Bug Challenge Blog we are starting a different kind of challenge.  We are all aware that October is Breast Cancer awareness month however we were talking one day and we realized that everyone has a “Cause:” something that they believe in and want to bring attention to.  Well we decided instead of  just “Pink” we would showcase “Our Causes” so each team member could decide what they wanted to stand up for.   I decided to stand up for Alzheimer’s.   My grandpa and my grandma both suffered from it and my dear FIL passed away almost 3 years ago with complications of Alzheimer’s.   How sad and frustrating it must be to not remember your children and or a spouse.   While doing research I found some great sites for assistance for families dealing with an  Alzheimer's diagnosis my favorite being the http://www.alz.org/index.asp.

In addition to our regular winnings here are 2 more ways that you can win:

  Jodie. Owner of Bugaboo stamps has generously  provided  a wonderful opportunity for you to be able to give two wonderful causes and in return you get up to 14 free images images!  That’s  right for  spending $20 on two very very important causes you get  free images!   Link in which you can get  free images for donated to one of two causes, so please check the link out here!

            Also check out our Great sponsor for this heartfelt challenge!

                      

In addition to the Bugaboo Stamps images up for grabs, our challenge is also sponsored by Creative Craft World this week and they have generously donated a set of Promarkers in skin tones for the winner.

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you will join us for our challenge and show someone you care by taking up a cause  and show support.

My imaged used is Butterfly Border 5 with Lavender lace Stampin up paper.  I embossed one layer and the layered my butterfly for dimension

Alzheimer's Prayer

Dear Lord,
Please grant my visitors tolerance for my confusion,
Forgiveness for my irrationality and the strength
To walk with me into the mist of memory
My world has become.
Please let them take my hand and stay awhile,
Even though I seem unaware of their presence.
Help them to know how their strength
And loving care will drift slowly
Into the days to come just when I need it most.
Let them know when I don't recognize them
That I will. . . I will.
Keep their hearts free from sorrow for me,
For my sorrow, when it comes,
Only lasts a moment, when it's gone.
And finally Lord, please let them know,
How very much their visits mean,
How even through this relentless mystery,
I can still feel their love.
Amen!
