My kit usually shows up around lunch time, so I get to sit at the table and open my box while my little London eats. I always always know that there is going to be something unexpected. Whether it's the bits and bobs that come in a little box that is way too cute to throw away, or some frayed material wrapped around a spool. I love looking at all the unique embellishments that come in these kits. I always save the paper until last because it is my favorite part. Felicity Jane paper is so perfectly simple in the best way. The color combinations are alway spot on. I can always count on a great polka dot, a cute stripe, and a few pages that make me want to drop everything and go scrapbook right then. I am lucky that my little miss takes a nap right after lunch.
I remember when I first saw that Felicity Jane was having a creative team call. I thought about it for only a second, and then decided I should give it a try. I applied to be on one other design team and it was pretty stressful for me. I wanted to only submit my best work and tried to make something super amazing, which probably wasn't completely my style anyway. I didn't make that design team. This time around I decided that I would pick 5 of my favorite layouts that I had already completed that I thought best represented me. In the end if I didn't make it then that was ok. I would still get my Felicity Jane kit, I would still love the heck out of it, and I would still go on loving this hobby of mine.
Extreme excitement and shock does not even come close to how I felt when I opened my e-mail one night and saw this
I had made the team. After I made a complete fool out of myself, jumping and screaming around the room, and the shock wore off, fear set in...
What if I wasn't good enough? What if I made completely horrible layouts every month? What if I disappoint? And I got so wrapped up in fear that I even thought... What if she didn't even mean to pick me?
Through all that fear and doubt, My Mom and my Husband were right there telling me I was crazy, and this was a good thing.
And it is... It's a good thing. I am mostly excited and only a little nervous about this awesome opportunity. I know that I will meet new friends, I know that I will grow as a scrapbooker, and I know that I will have so much fun! I AM ON THE FIRST EVER FELICITY JANE CREATIVE TEAM!! This, by far, is the highlight of my scrapbooking hobby... so far!!
Congratulations! Your layouts are always so lovely! You + Felicity Jane = a great combination. I just started subscribing and am looking forward to seeing how you use the kits.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Susan. I have been seeing some of your layouts and they are REALLY cute. The Felicity Jane kits really are just so darn cute.
