Design Team application for Epiphany Crafts

Hi all,
It's late here in new Zealand , five minutes past midnight. I've been working on 4 projects to submit to Epiphany Crafts to apply to be on their Design Team, keep fingers crossed for me. It would be awesome to be on their design team. The longest part in designing these layouts is finding really good photos in my stash to work with.
First layout to show is using a photo of my Grandson, Isaac(who is now 8 yrs)and the first black and white photo I've scrapbooked patterned paper used Three Bugs in a Rug, Tool Time, used matching buttons and cut out by hand 2 trucks.
Next layout is using a photo of my Grandaughter Julianna(who is going to be turning 5 in 2 weeks).Patterned paper used here is from Fancy Pants Designs, Sweet Pea range-Emma. Flowers and bee cut using cricut Flower Shoppe and Give a Hoot, epoxy embellishments on hidden tag behind the main photo and on centres of the flowers. Added bling to some of  the background paper. Made a bling butterfly using tear and heart shapes drew the butterfly body.Added pink lace
and another photo of the layout. Behind the main photo is a large hidden tag with another photo and journaling to add on the back. I love creating these types of layouts as you can hide the journaling so the whole layout pops
This next layout features my daughter Alisa(who is turning 12 in a weeks time) Sorry for the bare bum, but toddlers will be toddlers. The layout has a kiwi theme using Paua shell paper, matted on black cardstock. Have added 3 epoxy circles, cut the little circles  from some wallet sized photos of shells which I used for props for my Paua shell Jewellery range.
Here is the close up of the epoxy embellishments
And finally my fourth project, yip another easel card. The patterned paper is from Die Cuts With A View(DCWV)the Mariposa matstack. This is an awesome range of papers, I just love it. Will have to get me some of their 12 x 12 size of this.Again I have used epoxy embellishements on the centres of the 3 flowers, added some bling to the butterfly which was cut using Cricut cartridge Wall Decor and More.

Be sure to leave some comments and any questions.Will post another blog tomorrow a baby's animal chandelier mobile I just completed
Bye for now
