Father's Day weekend already! Time to introduce our new resident guest designer, Peggy Lamb, present what she and the other smART Cookies have done for the 5th smART Cookie Design Team Challenge, and sponsor a little giveaway for the stamp set used in the challenge. Lots to do, so let's get started...
In April, after the departure of one of its members, the smART Cookie Design Team was left with a void. Enter Peggy Lamb, a fellow Maine-iac and avid stamper...
I didn't know whether or not Peggy would have the time, or even if she'd be interested, but I knew I admire her work, and that she already loves and uses smART rubber, so I made a little offer... Fill the team's empty seat for the remainder of this season wearing the title "resident guest designer," and if you like the design team experience, stay on as a full-fledged Cookie when the new term rolls around... Offer graciously accepted. Thanks, Peggy!
You can read Peggy's bio here. Peggy doesn't have a blog, but before too long, I'll be setting up her gallery, and her work will also be posted on the design team's showcase - From the Cookie Jar. I just know your going enjoy what this smART designer has to offer.
The first projects Peggy has submitted are for smART Cookie Challenge #5 which uses the WD-196 Feathers stamp set. Projects from all the Cookies can be seen in the Feathers gallery.
You'll notice this challenge is being displayed in a new format. NOTE: Although I like this format for the individual Cookie galleries, I'm not sure whether it really suits the challenges. What do you think?
I found several things about this challenge somewhat curious:
1) Everyone chose to use the same saying.
2) Everyone choose similar color palettes, and
3) Almost everyone added some type of "shimmer." Although beauteous in real life, these shimmery, shiny effects did not scan very well. Sorry. At some point I may attempt trying to redo as photos to see if that will make any difference. Until then, you'll have to use your stamper's vision.
So, are YOU ready to win your own set of Feathers?
All you've got to do this time is submit a comment answering the following question:
What is your favorite kind of bird, and why?
On Tuesday morning, June 17, before he heads of to school (yes, it's still in session), Mr. Eli will pull one of the comments out of his beloved bowler hat, which by the way, he wears everywhere he goes, then I will post the winner later that same day.
