Meet Dalis!

We would like to give Dalis the official 'Shoe' welcome today! Dalis was selected to be our Guest Design Team member for the month of September, so welcome Dalis!!! Here is a little bit more about her:



Hi! I am Dalis, I started stamping about 15 years ago thanks to my sister and then scrapbooking 10 years ago thanks to her too... so the reason I am poor is all hers! LOL!!!! I just started doing digi and love it, of course I still have to print all the LOs that I have done and see if I "really really" like it. I am a mom of 1 (almost)3yr old girl and 2 doggies and love to do paper crafts! I am so excited to been chosen to do "the shoe"!

Here is what Dalis created for our Red, Orange and Yellow challenge! Beautiful work as usual Dalis! We are looking forward to seeing more fabulous projects from Dalis throughout the month!! And you can see more of Dalis by visiting her blog!

Now back to your Shoe-tastically Scrappy day already in progress!

Design Team Call

Well....now that the Shoe-makeover is under way, it is time to add a Design Team! We are looking for a few gals/guys to join us here at the Shoe. Here are the requirements:

This is a 3 month commitment. We have 1 challenge a week, which makes 4-5 challenges a month. You will be sent your assignments 1 month in advance to give you ample time to complete them. You will then email us your projects and we will post them as samples along with the challenge! At this time, we do not have a sponsor, so all we can offer YOU is a DT badge, your work displayed here every week, and your shining smiling face in the DT section of our sidebar (it isn't there yet, but it will be!)

If you would like to be a member of our design team, please submit 4 of your favorite projects to iftheshoefits5@gmail.com . We are looking for versatility, so try to include a variety of samples! Deadline for submissions is September 21.

We are looking forward to seeing your submissions! The number of DT members we accept will depend on the number of applications we receive! Thanks for your interest!
