One of the things I love about The Outlawz Challenge Site, is the variety of challenges each week.  When I first returned to stamping and card making last year, The Outlawz was the first, and for a while, the only site I visited.  I was able to learn about the new trends in stamping, construction, and colors.  I discovered all the new tools,etc., simply by participating in all of their challenges: Copics (even though I don't color well) Greetings (forced to to use sentiments, which I usually tried to avoid) CAS (helped me learn to develop better focals for my designs) Sketch (helped me understand construction and focals).  Almost one year to the day that I joined Outlawz, I was invited to join their design team.  It was something I wanted, but never dared to hope for.  If you are a new card designer...Outlawz is the perfect place to learn and grow in an environment of encourgement and fun...You'll love it!! 

Here is the Inspiration and the color swatch - give it a try!

MY FIRST DESIGN TEAM!

This week I received the biggest surprise of my card making life...I was asked to join the Outlawz design team!  It still seems so unreal!  I ran downstairs jumping up and down and grinning so hard I could hardly tell my husband why I was behaving so oddly!  Then I called my daughter at work.  She was in a meeting, so I had to leave a message  Ten more minutes of celebrating followed and then I remembered that I had to actually accept the invitation so I went back to my studio and accepted, gushingly.

I think I had the same reaction back in August when I was asked to be a Guest Designer at Outlawz...I was shocked.  I knew how good their designers were and  just thinking about having my cards spotlighted along with theirs was a little intimidating.  Now I am on that team..I still don't believe it!   I can't publish my first project as a member of the design team until Monday, but I thought I would show show the cards I created as a Guest Designer.

The Digital Image was drawn by Sandi Huggett, a Design Team Member at Outlawz!  So many talented ladies.  I am on the Greeting Card Challenge Design Team!  I will post our challenges as well as all the other Outlawz challenges here so that you can participate!  C-YA!
