CropChocolate DT Blog Hop!!

Hello!! Welcome to my stop on this wonderful hop introducing this season's cast of Design Team Members!!


I'm super stoked and honored to have been selected to serve with these fabulously creative girls. I can't wait to represent and support CropChocolate in all it's creative deal striving goodness!


My name is DeeDee and I go by D² on the CC boards :)

Here are the projects that I applied with:
an altered frame from globecraft memories using EP's This n That Charming. It screams me by being about my son, by being distressed and by being layered! 

a 12x12 layout and counts as my out of the box. The layout is totally "my style", the mixing of products is totally "my style", but the subject is definitely out of my comfort zone. I always scrap my husband and my kidzilla, or somewhere we've been, something we've done.. but I NEVER scrapbook just me. This layout is titled "Feed your soul" and has just a picture of me on a regular day. Which I'm trying to tell myself is "ok". scrapbook more about what I want, what my dreams are, what I'd love to see or where I'd love to go.. it doesn't always have to be about someone else.

Five fun facts about me eh? Here goes!:

1) I'm a total David Bowie fan girl.
2) My favorite color changes about as often as I change socks (thank goodness that's frequent! lol)
3) I don't like cooked apples
4) I actually PREFER ice water to other beverages
5) I'm a softy.. I cry in almost every single movie. seriously. :D

  11. Dee Dee, I love your frame and your layout about yourself is fantastic. I am a David Bowie fan too! I think I've seen him in concert about 6 times over the last 30 years (spanning several of his interesting personas).
    I'm so glad we're on this DT together.

  14. Ha, you'd probably never get me to scrapbook just about me! I probably should do that, though! You have a wonderful style...I only hope one day I can figure mine out well enough to be able to execute what I have in my head as well as you do onto paper!

  28. I've never done a layout with just me. That would be out of my comfort zone also. Ice water as a preferred beverage... I thought that I was the only one. Following.

  29. Love the mini album! I'm great at putting them together, then never getting pictures put in them. :) gwsharkcpa

  30. DeeDee I am already a follower. I always love your Globecraft projects, those bubble frames are a huge favorite of my mom's since they look like olf-fashioned picture frames and I think of her every time I see them. Your LO is really you too. I am also a Bowie fan (but I have to admit, I don't like the new song - really depressing!).

  31. DeeDee I have been a follower for a while but I have always loved that project of your son. I am a softy too and cry all the time watching movies, I wasn't always like that it started when I was pregnant and didn't stop.

    ReplyDelete
  32. I am a follower :) Those projects are both awesome! You really do need to scrap your story! No one is going to tell it except you. My friend and I took a monthly class at our LSS called "All About Me". We covered different subjects and qualities about ourselves each month in a 2 page lo. It really made me realize that I haven't gotten all of the important parts of me out of me yet! I need to finish that album. I'm looking forward to some more awesomeness from you!

  33. Hi Dee Dee, I love your altered frame project with your son! I know what you mean about scraping about yourself, that is something I am trying to do as well and it seems harder than other subjects. Love your fun facts and I prefer water as well:) Looking forward to working with you.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Love your all-over-the-place list of fun facts about yourself! :D

    I also love both of your projects...Gabe is so cute...and that's a striking presentation! :)

    Congrats on being on the CC DT...you'll be great, of course! :)

    JEALOUS you're at CHA!! (love the FB pics!) :)

  35. I think you're insane for liking water as much as you do! ;) Glad to have you back!!!

    ReplyDelete
  36. WOHOO!!! I'm so excited to see your projects (as always)! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE everything you make, and these two projects are no exception!!! Way to go for scrapping yourself! Love you lots!

    P.S. I love my ice water, too (and David Bowie, DUH)!
