Just sharing a layout and a card from a DT submission. It is over and STRIKE TWO...I didn't make it. I am usually pretty shy...especially about stuff like this, but I gave it another go right away because I was afraid I may never try again and I so wanted to be a part of a design team. Especially after leaving my beloved local scrapbook store :( As of right now, I think I am going to let the DT-Dream die. I don't want that 3rd strike ;) What I will do now is just concentrate on having fun in this hobby that I love so much. It has been 4 years since I haven't had a deadline and I can now have complete creative control over my projects. What on earth will I do?
