Hangers by Lilafrances

Anna, owner of Lilafrances, creates these beautiful hangers for your wedding dress or your lingerie for later on that night!! {{{wink wink!}}} She can put any name on the hanger so this personalized item is a lasting memory for your special day.

To find this cute hanger on Etsy, just follow this link. The hanger is only $17.50 (US) plus shipping which is very reasonable, plus you are supporting a crafter. As a crafter myself, I like to support those in the industry. It can also be a wedding gift for the lovely couple! I know I would love to receive these for wedding gifts!

      

Order yours today because there is a waiting list!! You don’t want to be disappointed!

OUR NEW LOOK + GIVE AWAY!

GCD Studios is having a giveaway contest!! Go check ‘em out HERE

You have till tomorrow night to post and they’ll announce the winner on Monday March 16th!!

 

 Also, they are having a Design Team call too…here are the details!

 

With excitement we are happy to announce our first and official design team search.

Scrapbooking is all about being creative, capturing memories, and having fun! When it comes to our design team we feel that our members should do just that; “Be Creative, capture memories, and HAVE FUN”!

Here is what we are looking for!

• You’ve got to love the product! This is super important! We have 10 new beautiful lines from this winter’s CHA ‘09.
  
• Bring your personality to the team. We love drama free, fun, and outgoing gals.
  
• Ability to work fast, if needed. Around show times we might need extra work done and working fast is a plus
  
• Assignments need to be turned in on time.

If this sounds like something you’d be interested in, then we would love to hear from you.

This is what you’ll need to turn in:

• A short paragraph about yourself explaining why you want to be on the team
  
• 2-3 projects of your best work
  
• Resume
  
• A link to your gallery and blog
  
• List of any teams you are right now
  
• Your contact information

Each month the DT members will be asked to create 4 items from our 10 new collections.

We are looking for 8 girls to shine on our team.

• 4 Scrapbookers
  
• 2 Card Makers
  
• 2 Altered item gals

Please keep in mind that we are reserving 3 spots for new “up & coming” crafters. This means that these spots will be reserved for unpublished gals to be welcomed on our team. We find great joy in finding new talent! So even if you feel that you’re not ready to submit to design team calls, here is your chance! Remember to please keep file size under 400KB in the email and send your application to hsonboul@gcdstudios.com

Open call will close on March 28th (at Midnight) and the 8 new DT members will be announced in a fun new way starting on Monday, April 6th.

 

Good luck to all that apply!! Let me know if you get on the team!!! Happy Crafting!!!!
