Happy 1st Birthday to T4TD!!!

Good evening, blog peeps!

Sorry that I've been MIA lately. Our household got sick but luckily, we are on the mend (I hope). Tonight (or day depending on where you are), I wanted to post a card for Time for Tea Designs. It's Jo's first year anniversary, and I am so happy for her and her company!!

In the beginning of 2013, Jo had asked if there were anybody interested in being in her DT for her new digital stamps. I've seen a preview of them on her Instagram account ( @time4teadesignpix ), and have thought they were pretty. And I fell in love with them right away. Her designs are whimsical and pretty, the kind of woman anybody can relate to. I see her as beautiful yet she doesn't know how gorgeous she is. And she is a touch quirky, enough to have a hilarious sense of humor. Does that make sense?? LOL!!

And Jo, what a designer! Not only does she have a lot of talent, she is super easy and fun to work with. She also has some rubber stamps up at Whimsy Stamps, make sure you check them out. Her success is well deserved!

As for my anni card, I decided to use an unexpected digi -- Work-out Girl. You'd think I'd choose someone who's more dressed up, but I figure the other DT members would probably do that. :) Instead, I wanted to show a bit of "a day in the life." I am so very into Project Life lately, that I wanted to make a card about an ordinary day. Since I've already created a project on fitness featuring a T4TD digi recently (see here), I wanted to depict Work-Out Girl as running errands instead. I mean, really, how many of us live in jeans or yoga pants on a day-to-day basis after work (**raises hand here. Drops it for that crop top though, teee heee!!!**).

Doesn't she look like she's down for some weekend fun? A few phone calls here, some music blasting there, and running around in the city? Right??! The embellishments I used for this card (except for the CardStock, Patterned Paper, and washi tape) are all from Paper Issues' Swag Bags.



Happy 1st Anniversary, Time for Tea Designs!! Love ya, and here's to many more!!
