YOURS TRULY - TEAM FAIRY THEME DESIGNER FOR SHOWCASE #8 BEGINNING MONDAY, MAY 24!!!

Good Saturday morning, everyone!  Welcome into the weekend and I certainly hope it's a wonderful one for you so far!

As you know, Sheryl  is leaving today as Showcase #7 Team Fairy Theme Designer and Hostess.  I'd like to thank Sheryl for doing a fantastic job and providing such a wonderful theme and project sample for our contributors.  I understand all the contestants had a great time creating their projects!   Sheryl will be back next month; however, please visit her from time to time (her highlighted name above is a direct link to her blog).  She'd love to have you visit and she has so many great projects that will inspire and "whet your appetites".  However, as much fun as we've had with Sheryl and have enjoyed her theme project sample, we're facing a new week, so it's time to move on!

Just to let you know, registration will be open for Showcase #8 on Monday, May 24, after the awardee showcase.  At that time, you will find the direct link on my sidebar for registration and detail information.  The deadline for registration for the week of May 24 is 8 p.m. (CT) on Friday, 28.

Now we come to the moment where "yours truly" will take her bow as Team Fairy Theme/Designer and your host for Showcase #8 in the new series of showcases.   I'm not going to make a big intro or grand entrance for myself because most of you know me, and I'd rather exert the energy trying to get you motivated to show off your talent(s).  You're putting it on a blog already, so share the love!!!  We'd all love to see what you're doing!!!  Won't you show us?!

My theme project for Showcase #8 is for you to create a layout or card.  I've decided on a theme title and it's "Got the Blues".  Your layout or card must include:
  • a minimum of 2 different color blues
  • beads or pearls (rhinestones acceptable)
  • a minimum of one flower
  • ribbon
You can further embellish your layout or card as you wish, as long as it includes the above described items.

As I've yet to make a layout page, I chose to make a motivational card as my "Got the Blues" theme project sample for you to use as an example:

Front of card:

Inside of Card:


Okay, now that you've got your theme and sample, get to crafting!!! On Monday, May 24, this theme sample will be posted throughout the week on the top page above the posts here on my blog for you to refer to.  And, I'll be here waiting for you to register your creations during the week!!!  I look forward to seeing some amazing creations!!!

I'll be seeing you!
