Thrilled to Be a New DT Member of Ally's Angels!

 Oooooooooh, I have some big news (and no, it’s not that I finally figured out how to use my glue gun without sealing my fingers together). I’m absolutely over the moon to announce that I’m the newest DT  member for Ally’s Angels! If you haven’t checked out their blog yet, do yourself a favour and click here. Go on, I’ll wait.

Ally’s Angels is all about gorgeous creations and a whole lot of crafty inspiration. The DT members are like the Avengers of craftiness - each one brings their own superpower to the table. And now, I’m joining their ranks! (Cue dramatic music and slow-motion hair flip.)

The Anything Goes challenges are absolutely awesome. They’re like a creative boot camp, but with less sweating and more glitter. I’m beyond excited to draw inspiration not only from the ridiculously talented DT members but also from everyone who participates in the challenges. Seriously, you guys are the real MVPs.

Now, let’s talk about my first card as a DT member. Drumroll, please… 🥁

I decided to go with a Birdie Brown robot because, let’s face it, robots are cool. (And if you disagree, well, I’m sorry, but you’re wrong.) I coloured the little guy with my trusty Promarkers, because nothing says “I’m a professional” like accidentally colouring outside the lines and pretending it was intentional. Then, I jazzed him up with Ranger’s Glossy Accents and glitter, because if it doesn’t sparkle, does it even count as crafting?

The never-been-used sentiment is from the Nuts & Bolts Cling Stamp Set by Stampin’ Up (RIP,  retired set—you will be missed). I layered everything onto cardstock and raised it with foam pads because, hey, dimension is the spice of life. The striped background was stamped with Stazon Ink, which is basically the Chuck Norris of inks—it doesn’t mess around.

Challenges I'm entering:

I left the inside of the card blank because, let’s be real, I’m indecisive. It could be a love card, a thank-you card, or even a “Sorry I forgot your birthday until Facebook reminded me” card. Versatility is key, people.

So, there you have it—my first DT card! I’m so excited to be part of this amazing team and can’t wait to see what everyone creates. And remember, if you ever feel like your crafting isn’t good enough, just add more glitter. Glitter fixes everything.

Until next time, keep calm and craft on! (And if you see me covered in glue and glitter, just pretend it’s a fashion statement.)

XOXO, Wendy R. 

Your Newest DT Member 💖
