I did it! I went for it! I applied for the CraftWarehouse Design Team!

I actually put myself and my work "officially" out there, in the world of craftdom, to be judged!  

Yikes!  

It was kind of scary and exciting and awesome with a little touch of nausea on the side!  

I know . . . I've entered contests and such and I even won one this past Monday with Cricut, Yay! (I'll blog about that amazing day in my next post!) But this was a totally different ballgame to me.  It was huge, even.


I mean really . . . it's Craft Warehouse! In case you don't know of them, (really?) this is their website:  Craft Warehouse.  They are a local pacific northwest company, which I love because I am a native Oregonian.  I only wish that part of every dollar I have spent at Craft Warehouse could roll over into some kind of stock option or retirement fund. . . wouldn't that be great?! [says my husband]

And while it would be super, over the top and out of this world amazing if they chose me as a member of their design team, I am just super proud of myself for getting up the gumption and going for it! Thanks for all the encouragement from friends and family. My Grandma Esther, from whom I get my crafy genes, would have said, "Nancy Marie . . . you've got moxie!" Thanks Grams.♡

Oh, and my friend Julie at JulieChats, put her application in as well . . . go Julie!  I thought that if it were a tie between us for a spot, that we could have a scrap-off or a craft-bout knockdown and hold it here at Domesticraft.  Yes, I know I would have the home court advantage, but she's a bit younger than me, so I say it evens out!  You know what she said?  "Bring it on!"   I am secretly hoping it comes to that, cause that just sounds like a good time to me!  I love a good challenge! Here is a gorgeous example of her work!  I know, she's got skills!

 

They are making their decision in August sometime, so I'll be on pins and needles for a bit. :) (and, no . . . I did not make this card specifically for this blog post, really guys, I didn't)
 
2 The photos below are what I submitted to Craft Warehouse with my application.  The DIY Project Life cards were so fun to make! (I love sewing on paper!)  The other photos were just to give them an idea of my style.  My favorites are the funny monster cards.  What's your favorite?  Tell me in the comments! ♡ Big me up! ♡ (that's what they say in Jamaica, kind of like a shout-out)
