STUDIO AZUL'S First BLUE Lady!!!

We want to thank all of you who gave us a chance and submitted entries to our DT call. We received an amazing response and even more amazing entries. We had a difficult time deciding on one person, how we wished we could have picked all of you! The amount of talent we saw was out of this world! Again, a heartfelt THANK YOU for participating!

Coming up with a decision was not easy, however we finally came up with a choice! We contacted this amazing lady and we are beyond thrilled that she accepted to be a part of Studio Azul. This amazing lady has been wowing us with her creations for a long time and we feel it’s about time she was recognized. She proved it in the Scrappin Moms Idol Contest and now she gets to show off her talent with us.

… And announcing Studio Azul’s Blue Lady!

Without further ado, please join us in welcoming Studio Azul’s 1st ever Blue Lady,

Some facts about AU:

I am a mother to 5, who loves crafting from cross-stitching to crocheting, quilting, model making, beading even witch crafting (hahaha!). I tried them all but was hooked the worst to scrapbooking. I started this in 2001 but mostly dug my heels into the hobby in 2005 only after finding a thriving community and endless supply of scrap stuff locally. I would have to say my style is eclectic, or in short halo-halo!

And a sample of one of the works that WOWed us:
Like Mother, Like Daughter by Au Lim

Watch out as our resident DT create her
scrapping magic with Studio Azul !!!
Congratulations and Welcome to the team, AU !!!

Studio Azul DT Call

Studio Azul being the first Philippine scrapbook monthly kit club and we are looking for a designer to join us on this journey. We are looking for a scrapper with an excellent eye for design that can create pages using traditionally non-matching kits, and can think outside of the box! We are looking for a Filipina who isn’t on any local design team and we require that our designer be exclusive to Studio Azul. We will be taking submissions from now until October 20, 2007 11:59pm and the winner will be announced October 25, 2007.

As our designer, you will be asked to:
- Create 4-5 projects a month using our kit
- Contribute ONE technique and ONE sketch per month
- Design for Studio Azul for a 6-month term, beginning on November 1, 2007 (starting with the November kit)

With that being said, all projects made with the kit are yours to keep, and when used on the blog you will be given full credit. As our designer, you may also submit your own work for publication 1 month after the debut of the kit.

Your compensation will be:
Free monthly kit with no shipping charge (for Filipinas residing overseas, shipping will be discounted)
15% off purchases on any add-ons that may be available with no additional shipping

8. A list of your current commitment(s)

Please also include the following projects:
