At the age of 44 the feeling of overwhelming excitement that I got as a child is something I rarely feel. That kind of excitement that robs you of sleep and you don't care. The excitement that is so much you cant help but dance around and say eeeeeeeee. But, this past week, that feeling came back! Here's why, I was on pins and needles for a week waiting to hear if I was selected to be part of the FSJ Creative Team for 2018-2019. I applied to be on the team along with many other creative and talented people. I passed the first round and was then asked to do a tutorial blog post and an Instagram post that were both just for the application. After I completed both I waited for a week. And last week, on Thursday, I got the email from Kim Kesti, the Creative Director at FSJ that I was selected as one of eight designers for the new Creative Team!
It's been a happy week for me!!! I am thrilled to get to represent FSJ with my creations. I love their products and can't wait to create with the other fabulous designers on the team.
I thought you'd like to see the project I posted on my Instagram page for my application.
I am IN LOVE with the new Fall-O-Ween printed paper and am using it to make anything I can think of! Including dressing up these plain white reusable coffee cups. While on a recent trip to the Starbuck drive through I asked the barista that handed me my Grande Iced Chia Tea Latte with Coconut Milk if I could have a cup wrap for a craft project. I used that as a template to trace a cup wrap on to my fabulous printed paper. I cut them out and used White Liner tap to adhere them to my cup.
I put some K-Cups and chocolates inside. A great Friendsgiving gift, right! It's inspired me to throw a Friendsgiving party.
Below are all the products I used to make these, click on an image to shop it in my online store.
The rhinestones I used are from a pack called All The Things (AC-0364) and are a FREE gift you can select when you order $75 with FSJ.
If you have any good ideas for a Friendsgiving party please let me know!
You will be able to see creations from all 8 of the designers soon, our first blog hop is going to be on September 15th!
Thank you for stopping by and letting me share my excitement with you.
