Hey Friends! Hope you're having a great start to your week! :) I know you've heard ... Belles 'n Whistles is having a DT call out!!!! OKAY ... now you KNOW I jumped out of my seat when I read about it! Because I AM an Elisabeth Bell lover, and I love Belles 'n Whistles!! Put these 2 factors together, and it's like me listening to the music of Andrea Bocelli ... makes you so happy you wanna cry.
Anyway, I made this card to enter for the DT call, and I've gotta tell you. This was really hard for me. I don't know if you're a goofy like me, but when I get nervous or really excited about something, I confuse myself or I get so stumped.
You know... kinda like when you're young and you finally get to speak to a hottie that you've had a crush on for 10 years. And you're sooooo excited and nervous that he's FINALLY speaking to you. And, and, and, you don't know what you're saying, like you're alien or something. And all the time you're talking you're like, gulping and stuttering like a fool, wondering if you've ruined all chances that you've waited for.
Then as you're walking away after the conversation, all you can do is cross your fingers and wish that he doesn't think you're an idiot. :) ... ooooh! And hope he's not watching you walk away because you're probably walking all weird and stiff, and more than likely gonna trip on a rock or better yet, get your shoe caught in the grass. LOL!!!
Well, making this card was like that ... LMAO!!! It's like, this is something that I've been waiting for and every single choice I made, I second guessed myself a hundred times. And now that I'm completed, all I can do is cross my fingers. LOL!!!
Enough of my rambling, on with my card right? lol! Here it is:

Hi there sweet Elise! I already see you as one of the Belles n' Whistles DT! All your cards using these adorable Elisabeth Bell's image is so gorgeous, perfect every time. I would be so disappointed if you weren't chosen. Awesome work my sweet friend. :)Chelsea
Oh, if there ever was a perfect fit for you hun, this is it!! Now, if only I could have been online to coach you, I would have told you this over and over, like a little mantra to chant, "Just do what you do and if you're the right person for the spot, they'll pick you." And uhhh, YES, you are, so yay!! Your creation is gorgeous I might add, everything is delightful, I am halfway tempted to name off everything, but I am fairly sure you know what you used so that won't be necesary, lol!! So I shall leave you with an obligatory good luck, though you, with so much talent, don't need luck!!
Take Care,
Stephanne
Gorgeous Elise!! Best of luck with the DT call!! They would be lucky to have you!!! How could they resist this incredible creation!?!?!
