We've decided...here are our top 10!

Ok, so Bree decided to come to me today...we've been busy and now we're ready to each of our top 10s. We each have 10 to reveal and it was a long road getting here, but we've finally arrived.

Out of 124 applications, here are our favorites!

Camille's top 10 (drum roll please...) in NO particular order.

1. Sandie Vincent
2. Kim Brouillette
3. Ria Mojica
4. Holly Hanks
5. Carole Maurin
6. Alanne Schellenberg
7. Aleksandra Sokal
8. Brittney Smith
9. Danielle Holsapple
10. Deanna Daily

Bree's top 10 (another drum roll please...) in NO particular order.

1. Jessica Carter
2. Kristina Kiessig
3. Michele Beck
4. Tracy Rratt
5. Karin Kreijen
6. Michelle LaPoint
7. Francine Clouden
8. Brooke Clark

So that's it ladies, our top picks. It was NOT easy getting to this point. Make sure you send out congrats to the top picks. Feel free to use our comment box!

So what's next? We will reveal the design team members tomorrow and we will choose a name for them in the near future (we really cannot decide on the perfect name yet).

....see you tomorrow!

Camille and Bree

Oh my goodness! I clicked refresh once and poof! It was there! hahaha! I guess that means now I will actually have to work! :)

Congratulations! I'm sure it wasn't an easy decision.

Congrats ladies !

a bit sad again...
not because I didn't get it... but because some of the people you chose,(at least one) although they are really talented, already belong to more than 6 different DT's

sometimes I feel other people don't really get their chance...

but I totally understand your choice, you chose people that "touch" you !

Aleks said...

wow, awesome honour to be top 10! :) Thank you so much!

Can't wait to see who's on the DT!

elizabeth said...

Dear Anonymous,

I'm sorry your disappointed.
It is really hard to please EVERYONE!
I haven't even decided on my top 3 yet,it's been that difficult.
I have been touched by so many of you and hope that you will still visit our blog and our site in September.
And remember...this is only a 6 month gig,
So we'll be doing this all over again in April.

Camille and I have also talked about Guest designers, and hope to incorporate some new faces that way as well.
Stayed tuned for the Big Announcement tomorrow,

Bree

I am a bit upset that the pubcalls and every place else says that submission were going to be taken till August 1st... here it is August first and you have a top 10. I guess if you found the DT call today even thought it said till today, you don't have a choice.

Thanks for listening.

congratulations and good luck!

Kim Sonksen said...

am very pleased for my dear friend Sandie V to have made it to the Top 10 as she is an awesome scrapper but I would be lying to say that I am not bitterly disappointed for myself.

That's cool I get over it eventually.

Now I keep my fingers crossed for Sandie, coz she ROCKS

Don't worry Bree, I really appreciate the tone of this blog, it is always cool to read your posts !!

I know most of the people you chose are already on DT's but one of them is on 7, nearly 8 DT's already...

But no doubt they are all very talented and your choice will be good for your shop !!


And I'll keep coming, and I'll try again in 6 months !! lol

have a nice evening

I literally had my hands over my eyes and couldn't look...my 11 year old son said, "if you don't go, I am going to go and look." I made him and kept my eyes covered!
He read my name, Bree, and I almost fell out of my chair!

I am so excited to be considered. Even more, I count myself very lucky having met you ladies...even if it is through this silly laptop computer!
I am excited about tomorrow!
Best of luck all you finalists!
Jessica

CONGRATS to all who are inthe top 20!!! I will say I'm alittle bummed that I didn't get on that short list, but, oh well, There is always a next time.
