change can be good...
...it's a matter of attitude
Sunday, January 15, 2006
This week has been all about change. Whew! Where do I start?
Things have been shaking at the office since Monday. There was a HUGE announcement made, and everyone's scurrying about as though there's a Jen Wilson sale going on. Oh, didja hear about that? She had a (supposed) one-day sale, and because the entire digi world flocked to SBB to buy her awesome stuff, the store crashed. LOL!!! That was just friggin' funny! Imagine being THAT great that you manage to crash a site. Wow. So she had to extend her sale, and I managed to get $30 poorer. Yes, I am weak. LOL!
So anyhoo, I'm rambling. What was I talking about before that? Oh yeah. The office announcement. It was HUGE, I tell ya. And you know how it is when things change. People just have a natural tendency to panic. I had my own concerns, but I asked the right people...people who had answers...and realized that everything's fine and dandy. Quite exciting, in fact. I hope everyone else realizes that too. For their own good. That's when I realized that it's really all about attitude. *sigh* I can't wait till all the furor dies down.
Hey hey hey, there's an element team call over at RAKScraps! Woohoooo!!! It's another one of those changes I'm talking about since I'm thinking of applying. Oh wait...I already applied. LOL!!! Composed my email this morning, attached some of my designs, and with fingers crossed, hit the SEND button. Announcement will be made on the 28th, so I don't know how I will manage till then. LOL! It's a huge step for me because as an element team member, you will have to design for the monthly mega kits and the freebie prizes. I don't have much experience in designing, but I love the site and would absolutely KILL to get on the team. LOL! But I was truly tickled pink when Jeanine sent me a private message, just to be sure that I saw the call for an element team. How sweet is that?! Anyhoo, I hope my stuff is good enough to get on the team.
Speaking of designing, and maybe just to test my designing abilities too, I made another kit. I got inspired by some gift wrapper I saw in a bookstore last week, and made this...
Totally love how it turned out, but is it good enough??? LOL!!! It has 12 patterned or textured papers, 4 metal flower elements, 4 epoxies, 4 pearls, 1 pearl strand, 3 ribbons, 1 stapled ribbon and 1 flower cutout. Lemme know what you guys think. Even if you don't digiscrap, do you like the designs? The patterns? And if you do like it and you're a digiscrapper, you can download it here.
I'm not sure if I'm allowed to say this, so let's keep it partly confidential by not naming names. LOL!!! I got an email from a designer, and she offered me a position as a PAID designer on her site. WOWZERSFROMHEAVENABOVE!!! Such a sweet, sweet lady and her confidence in me just blows me away! However...I feel that I am not yet ready to take THAT big a step. I mean, who would buy my stuff?!?! LOL!!! But just receiving that email offer, I am frigging grinning from ear to ear. Who knows? Maybe IF I get on the RAKScraps element team, then I'd get enough experience to one day sell my stuff. In the meantime, I'm all for learning more and more and more. So expect more freebies here in the meantime.
Here's a page I was able to finish last Thursday. I used Lynnie's Pardesha Pink kit, which is just perfect for girly pages.

1st off, AWESOME kit! You totally have what it takes to make the team, and NO I don't have any inside info, LOL! Second, do what you think is timely, but you could totally bring in the buckaroos if you wanted.
TFS :)

I just have to jump on and say I bet you'll make the RAK team too! I love seeing the great kits you've been creating. And can your pages get any nicer? Seriously - you do awesome work! I'm loving your latest pages. ;)
WOW Tin! That's great news! I hope you do get in at the RAK Team Call and be able to sell your designs, I downloaded Sweet Chloe already! Thanks mucho! Naku, have a baby na, so you can make kits about them naman! Chloe is one lucky niece!
hi mrs schmuck!
i just downloaded your free kit. It RRRREEAALLLY ROCKS! I especially like the pearl strand and the epoxies and the paper, oh! everything!
Don't worry. When you do decide to sell your kits, I'm pretty sure I'll be one of those queueing up to buy them (that is not to say that I do not appreciate the free kits!lol!)
You've got talent, gurl! Go for it!
