Round 2 of the Designer Contest - Help Me Win! Get this kit FREE!

Hi Y'all! Well, Round 1 of the MSS Designer Contest has come and gone! With your help, I finished in 2nd place overall! YAY ME! That's a HUGE improvement to the DEAD Last finish I made in the first contest! Thanks for all your support!

Round 2 is underway now and so far, I am leading the pack! But anything can happen, so I really will be needing your support! Especially now that I have discovered that Round 3 voting is by invite only! So, I have to make this round REALLY count as the winner is determined by cumulative vote totals from ALL 3 rounds! Please consider registering at My Scrap Shop Forum to make your voice heard! You must register to have your input count! Then go to the MSS Designer Contest Section, and choose VOTE HERE. This will bring up 3 threads. Choose ROUND 2 Voting and choose the radio button for your favorite designer! Hopefully it's me! lol

Then head on over to the Gallery and pick up all the great kits! You can still get my Round 1 kit, if you haven't gotten it already! And my Round 2 Kit is available for you for FREE!

And here is some MORE AWESOME NEWS! I applied at Deco-Pages and they have accepted me as a designer! Then I applied to Buzy Bee Scrapping. And while waiting for that decision, I got an email from SEASCRAPS Mentorship Program! I GOT IN!!!!! OMG YAY! I can hardly wait! And then the email came from Buzy Bee. She accepted me too! I really want to accept all these offers but I am afraid with the requirements and now with the mentorship program, that I will let them down and not meet my end of the deal. So, I think I am going to have to say no, which totally breaks my heart. But, I hope that in the future, they will consider me again. Let's keep our fingers crossed!

Oh and here's the BAD NEWS. On Saturday afternoon, while uploading my kit to the contest, I lost my computer! The whole thing started this loud screaching noise and I couldn't do anything. So I hard rebooted. YEAH, VERY BAD IDEA. Long story short...it wouldn't even boot up. So, of course, now I am totally FREAKING out. But my daddy will ALWAYS be my hero! He drove all the way from East Texas, he could barely walk, and replaced my motherboard with his! My daddy is THE BEST DADDY in the whole world! Thank you DAD! You ARE my HERO! I love you!!

And dad, yes, I am now getting back to backing up my system! lol

Tomorrow is the BIG DAY

I am feeling very nervous right now. On a whim, I entered another designer contest and I know that it will be good experience for me. As I have gotten to know the people on the site through their forum, I find that I really like them. Which makes it even more nerve racking! Because the contest is 3 rounds and based on votes. And now, I really want to win...because I really like the people there! So, I am extremely nervous. I hope that those of you visiting my blog, will come by and show your support repeatedly! lol The voting begins on Friday I think and I guess the contest starts tomorrow. I will have more information for you tomorrow. Thanks to all of you that have shown your support by leaving comments and I do hope that you are enjoying the freebies that I have created for you!
Hugs,
Chelle

I am SOOO Excited!!!

Ok, I was going to post today and put up a freebie pack, and I still hope to...but I couldn't wait another second to tell you something! Are you ready?!

This weekend I was trying to design something for the April Collaboration kit (and just as an FYI, you really should check out the collab kits at Bits 2 Kits. The Feb one had 50 Quick pages for 5 bucks. The March one will be Scrap for Hire and has TONS of stuff! It is 2 cute! My contribution alone was 40 gradients. So you get the idea.) Anyway, I digress...So, I'm working and working and trying to figure out how to do grunge overlays. Yeah, not so much..I got 1.

Anyway, I look up and there is this pattern overlay I created. Before I knew it, I had 16. And I'm going...ummm...I think these are pretty good. So, I showed them to my friend Becky. And she goes, those are sooo cool! Which made me feel pretty good, since I have been apparently rejected by a few stores now.

Then Becky goes, apply at this store...They are looking for CU designers. So, I'm like...ok, I'll give it a shot. I sent it off at 11:15 last night. Just a few minutes ago, I got a response. She wants me to sell at her store! OMG! I am so excited I could just scream and tell the world...guess I kinda am, aren't I? lol I just emailed her back with the designer agreement. I'm soo excited.

And in a few days...I am entering this designer contest at My Scrap Shops too! I am really nervous, and the decision is based on votes, so I hope you will come by and vote! But we have a few days for that! lol

YAY ME! Someone recognized raw talent! I am SOOO excited! Please leave me comments and let me know what your thoughts are! I would really love to hear from you! Oh and if you are interested in getting these products, they should be online very soon at Bits 2 Kits...and then in the near future at......Digital Scrap Designs!

Hugs, Hugs, Hugs,
