DESIGN TEAM CALL

 There is now an opening on our team.  I am looking for one - or possibly two or three- new designers to join our group. 

Interested card makers should be creative and willing to create a weekly card (or project) due Monday evenings at 9:00 pm. EST.  We are flexible and understand that you require time off and that things crop up so do not worry if you miss the occasional week. We all have lives.

You should have a blog so that you can post your cards there as well on Tuesdays.

You must be willing to leave positive comments for entrants each week.

You must LOVE paper crafting and being part of a great, fun team.

If you fit this criteria, please email me at cherylsteve.robinson@sympatico.ca.  Please include in the email a link to your blog and a picture of 2 different cards (or projects) which are good examples of your style.

Applications will be accepted until February  6th and I will announce the new designer(s) on February 14th.

I will be looking forward to your submissions!

Resignation and Design Team Call

Good morning, friends.  

One of our founding design team members, Tanya Bell, has decided to resign from the Stampin' Friends team.  I know we will all miss her creativity and dedication but she has assured me she will try to find the time in her busy life to enter the occasional challenge.

With Tanya's resignation, there is now an opening on our team.  I am looking for one - or possibly two or three- new designers to join our group. 

Interested card makers should be creative and willing to create a weekly card (or project) due Monday evenings at 9:00 pm. EST.  We are flexible and understand that you require time off and that things crop up so do not worry if you miss the occasional week. We all have lives.

You should have a blog so that you can post your cards there as well on Tuesdays.

Applications will be accepted until February  6th and I will announce the new designer(s) on February 14th.

I will be looking forward to your submissions!

Challenge #49 Top 3

I have to go to work for a couple of hours so this is a very quick post of the top 3.  As usual, the cards you entered were all REALLY GOOD so picking the top 3 was very difficult.  But, here are my choices.  I am sure you will agree they are very worthy picks.

Winners, please post our badge on your blogs to showcase your talents (and our site, heehee).  


Now I would like to add, please check back tomorrow for two special announcements!
And thanks for participating in our challenges.  We really appreciate it.
Have a great day!

Challenge #48 Top 3

Good morning!  All I can say is "Wow" and "Thank You" to all of you who entered the challenge last week.  I was thrilled with 18 last week and this time there were 19.  This calls for another prize.  I called on Random.org to choose a number and the result is #2 Sarah T.  Sarah wins a free pass to the next session of Stampin' Fun And Friends - Sweet Spring- which begins February 1st.  I will contact her with the details.


Now for our winners:  It was REALLY HARD to pick so I got a friend to help.  Here are our top 3 for week 48!

Congratulations, ladies!  Please feel free to download our badge for your blogs.  
Again thanks to all who entered.  See you again this week!

Challenge #47

Happy New Year, everyone!  I hope you have had a wonderful holiday season.  Thank you to all who sent me warm wishes.

Now, down to business:  First, I apologize for this post being late.  Sunday evening, something happened to my laptop and I spent the entire day yesterday trying to get my photos and blogs back.  I did manage to recapture about two months worth.  So several of the earlier posts are missing the pictures - but it could be worse!

Now for today's challenge.  Here is the sketch (a basic one):

And here are the examples from the Stampin' Friends:

Now, it's your turn.  Give it a go!
