Gushing and Peeking...

Okay...I have to warn you...this post is going to be loaded with glowing reviews and gushing comments. :-) My uber talented friend and fellow AC Bailey design team member, Amanda, is one seriously talented girlie!! Her layouts caught my eye from the first time I popped into the gallery at ACB. Each and every one of her layouts could (and should) be published. And I mean that sincerely...not just being kind. Well...after lots of badgering and pestering from myself and the other ladies on the message board at ACB, Amanda finally gave in and submitted a layout to Scrapbook Trends. And...of course...they picked it up!!! Her very first submission and it's being published!! And...she submitted two layouts to their baby idea book call and guess what?? Those two layouts were requested as well!! 3 for 3!!! Three layouts submitted, three layouts being published!! Isn't that amazing?!?! I'm not at all surprised...she really is incredible and it's only a matter of time before she is snagged up by a manufacturers design team. So I just wanted to give a big ol' CONGRATULATIONS to Amanda!! You rawk, girl!!

And Leah is getting published left and right and she's being sought after by a company...they want her to make digital templates for them. And she has big Corina Nielsen-related news coming, too. And she's making quite a splash at SISTV and even our own leader at ACB, Erica, asked Leah if it would be okay to use one of her layouts for the catalog!! I knew it was only a matter of time before she made a big splash in the scrapping world, too. She is SOOOO talented!! Seriously! So big congratulations to you, too, Leah!! And I have to ditto what I said about Amanda...it is only a matter of time before she lands a spot on a manufacturers design team. If those two were to end up on the same team...um...WOW!! That would be incredible!!

Okay...I've probably embarrassed Amanda and Leah enough now. {hehe!} I promised some little peeks of my DT projects for September so here are a couple little pics of some of my stuff.

So there you have it...lots of gushing and peeking! And don't forget...we're adding to the AC Bailey Design team so head on over there and check it out!! It's a great place to be!! And we're still looking for digital designers, too! Lots of possibilities and opportunities at AC Bailey Designs!! I hope everyone has a great evening!! Thanks for stopping by!!
