A day with lots of reasons to celebrate!

A very Happy Monday morning to you all!
I have lots of things to share with you today! First off, it's my birthday and let's say I'm close to leaving my thirties!! *wink* I do want to share some celebratory candy so watch out for it this week!

The other very exciting news I have to share with you is that I've been asked to be a permanent DT member for Nina May's beautiful artwork over at 'There's Magic in the Air'. I received an email just over 2 weeks ago from Nina saying someone had given her my name to see if I'd be interested in a DT position. Mmm, didn't have to think too hard about that one. YES - of course!!!! Today is my first official day on the team and this gorgeous thanksgiving Cornucopia is a digital freebie that Nina May is giving away. So why don't you hop on over to TMITA and check out all the gorgeous work from the team and join in. The lovely Nilla has included the challenge for us to use buttons with this image. Here is my sample:-


I coloured the image with my copics and distressed the edges. I used glossy accents on the jar to give it a glass effect. And lastly I added some raffia and threaded my button through and added 3 other smaller buttons. I hope you like it and can join in with the fun - there's a sweet prize to be won too!

Well, thanks for joining me today and helping me celebrate this fabulous and exciting day! You see, I told you I had been crafting behind the scenes - now at least I can start sharing!!! :)

I wish you all a beautiful day and thank you for all the comments you leave!

Hugs,

Happy belated birthday, Danielle. So sorry I missed commenting earlier this week but so glad to be on the design team with you! I absolutely LOVE your card! The raffia is brilliant, the coloring is gorgeous, the distressing is great, and all of the colors are sharp! Wish I'd thought of attaching the sentiment and using glossy accents on the jar! See you've already inspired me!
Aloha, Kim
