WOOHOO, We are having a DT call

Hello everyone it is that time of year again. The current term for our Design Team Members is coming to a close.

We are currently looking for a FEW (or more) NEW CARD MAKERS to join our 

AWESOME DESIGN TEAM!!

So if you are interested in joining us as a Design Team Member please e-mail me HERE. In the email, please tell me a little about yourself and your card making journey, why you want to be on our team, a link to your blog,  and attach 3 cards that you feel best show off your talents.

We will be accepting DT submissions through the end of the day on April 15th. That gives you just over 2 weeks to get your applications in. The newly chosen DT members will begin in May.

If you have any questions regarding the specifics of what we would require of you, please email me e-mail me HERE.

I look forward to reviewing your applications.

THANK YOU

Easter Time

Hey ladies, it's that time again. Time for a new challenge. Thanks to everyone who played last week. We are getting amazing responses to our challenges.


The new challenge this week is:  EASTER


Our amazing sponsor this week is BUGABOO STAMPS

Everything That You Ever Wanted to Know About Bugaboo Stamps: A Short Essay:
As if raising five children in the frozen land of the North was not enough of a challenge, Jodie Mackrell decided to dip her cold little Canadian toes into the world of papercrafting by opening an online store full of her illustrations. That was two years ago. Today Bugaboo Stamps is one of the leading companies in digital images, and we're still growing!  From seriously snarky to sugary sweet to sublimely soulful all the way over to the other side of the super sexy spectrum, you're bound to find all that you need and more to create your paper projects.  Jodie works very hard to provide New Releases and Freebies every week! 

 If your taste runs to rubber (and you know who you are), you can find Bugaboo Stamps   at Totally Stampalicious. And finally, join the Bugaboo Stamps DT   for weekly challenges at Catch the Bug. 

They will be offering the winner of this challenge  FREE DIGIS

Here are our amazing Design Team samples to get your mojo flowing!
