My nerves are shot! It's been a crazy day of anticipation. I'm talking about the OPAAT (One Page At A Time) kit club Design Team call. The entries closed yesterday and today the new team for 2007 is announced.

I've been stalking my email like a mad woman and hitting the refresh key like there's no tomorrow (My fingers got a good work out!) on the OPAAT website. The results are finally out... I didn't make it. Kinda disappointed 'cos I really wanted to be on this DT. Their kits look amazing and very me - my kind of style. The current DT members are a group of women whose work I totally admire.

The upside of things is that I made Honorable Mention - second time in 2 weeks!!



I do feel honored with the knowledge that I did make it to the 'shortlist' of people they considered. This is really encouraging. I do hope that I don't always only stay in the honorable mention category though. Like I said to Debs... it has to be onwards and upwards from here right? :)

Talk about Debs... here's my entry for her CJ. I had a lot of fun creating this layout. It's not totally my usual style but I'm completely happy with it. She's had a peek at it and said that she likes it too. So it's all good! :D The scan is a bit wonky so is the stitching... but IRL it's all straight. :D



Right.. I'm off to scrap a bit... and another day of anticipation. Another site will be announcing it's DT tomorrow. Fingers crossed for me now...

    Hi Michelle

    Congrats on the HM! Your work absolutely ROCKS and I am sure that it won't be very long at all before you get your DT spot. Take care!

    You can only be HM for a number of times before people will grow tired and you will have to only move up! :) I'm sure your time will come really soon! :D

    Chin up! Your work is too unique to NOT be in any DT soon! :P


    Hugs,
    Cheryl
