Spellbinders 2012 DT Retreat

I spent a few days last week at the Spellbinders 2012 Design Team Retreat in Phoenix.  We had so much fun!!! What an awesome group of ladies!!!  So talented and so nice!!!  Miss them all!

Donna Salazar taught a class using her Spellbinders S5-085 Mixed Media Elements  and S5-086 Bitty Blossoms die template sets.  Looks like I'm the only one who didn't hold up my creation!!!

We're all dressed in black because it was photo day.

Here's my project!  Donna shared lots of tips for making the Bitty Blossoms.  Fun to play!

Here's a silly photo of my roommate, Teresa Horner, and me!

Heidi Van Laar was my table mate!  We sat next to each other for our class sessions.

Christine Emberson, Teresa, myself, and Iwona Estera out for dinner.

Back to reality......work and projects due!  Plus we're celebrating my dad's 85th birthday this weekend so family is coming on Thursday.  That means a bit of house cleaning, too!  Hoping for lots of creative inspiration to get my scrapbook page done in the next 2 nights!!! 

Thanks for stopping!

hugs,

A new year on the Spellbinders Design Team!

Today is the first day of my 2nd year on the Spellbinders Design Team! Woohoo!!!
I'm so honored to be on this team again! Spellbinders is such a great company! Wonderful people and fantastic products!
I'm looking forward to meeting all the new mmembers on the new Design Team next week at a retreat in Arizona! Yes, I'll be flying to Arizona to spend 3 full days of playing and learning with Spellbinders products, getting to know all the new members and having FUN!!! It. will be so nice to see the other returning members: Latisha, AJ, and Kimberly! Reunion time for us!
This past year has been an incredible journey for me!  The Grand Calibur and new Grand Nestabilities die templates made their debut! They are so awesome for scrapbooking! Just think of all the new die templates that were released over the year...lots of "have-to-have" designs! I wonder what new and exciting products I'll get to work with this year!?! So exciting!  I'll share whenever I can!
I started a page of all my Spellbinders projects. 
Here's a link to it:  http://judyhayesdesign.blogspot.com/p/spellbinders-projects.html       
Blogger was not cooperating with how I wanted the photos to arrange so I only loaded a few.  I'll be adding more as I have time.  The page is listed under my blog title.  It will be easy to see all my project photos without going back through my blog!
Thanks for visiting!
