VERY HAPPY NEWS!

I am so excited! I found out late last week that I made the American Crafts Design Team! I have always loved their products, but after the Dear Lizzy lines came on board, I was even more in love! I cannot wait to get my box of products to start playing with - happy me!!!

Here is the new team - so many talented scrappers on here. I had to check out each of their blogs and so many different styles are represented. It was fun seeing some old favorites and discovering some new talented girls as well. Here is the announcement from the American Crafts Blog:
