New Look To Our DT

Hi, everyone!
I would like to introduce our design team to you (current members and new designers as well).
We will also be starting a new format.  The ladies will be divided into two "teams" with each team designing on alternate weeks.  In this way, they will have more free time and you - our followers - will benefit from more fresh ideas.
So now, let's meet our designers.

Team A:







TEAM B:







And this is me, blog administrator:


We hope you will visit us each week to check out our sketches and maybe even enter our challenges.  Thanks for visiting!

Challenge #133

Good morning!
This is a busy week at Try Stampin'.  Today we have our weekly sketch PLUS a guest designer,  tomorrow our top 3 and on Thursday, I will announce our new design team members.  Lots of great stuff!!

Let me welcome Dewi Lestari, our guest designer this week.
And here, in her own words, is a bit about herself:
Hello, my name is Dewi.. I live in Bandung, Indonesia.
Happily married to a wonderful IT Guy, and we have two lovely boys.
Currently work as Psychologist in a Child Development Center
I've been papercrafting for 2 years, I love to make cards and 3D projects. Wish that I could make a scrapbook lay out someday.
You can see all my creations at my blog Sunday Morning

Here is our sketch:
And the samples from the team:





All right, now it's your turn to show us what you create inspired by our sketch and the samples from the team.  Thanks to all of you for visiting.  And a big thanks to Dewi for joining us for the week!

Challenge #131 Top 3

Good morning to everyone!
I would normally post a top 3 here but, sorry to say, we only had two entries last week.  
We usually have good response to our challenges so I am sure things will be back to normal this week.
Today, I am using this space for a couple of announcements in stead:
   1.  We are having a DT call.  Check yesterday's post for the details of how to apply.
   2.  We will be inviting a guest designer each week.
   3.  There will be a monthly draw at the end of each month from all entrants for a random prize.  The more weeks you enter, the more chances you get.

Look forward to more exciting things on our site in the next few weeks.
See you later.

Challenge #132

Hi!
Welcome to Try Stampin'!
First we have some business......It is time for a design team call. With one member resigning. one taking a leave, and the general busy lives we lead, we find ourselves short some of the time.    So I would like to take on two new team members.  Are you interested?  Just send me an email (my email is cherylsteve.robinson@shaw.ca) with a link to your blog.  If you do not have a blog, send me three samples of your work.  You do not have to be a card maker...and your samples do not have to be cards.  I am looking for creativity and an individual style.  So, if you are interested, please let me know.

Now to our sketch, another simple one:



And the inspirations from the team:






OK, now it is your turn to show us your creations inspired by our sketch.  We cannot wait to see them.  Happy crafting!

Challenge #131

Sorry for being late with the sketch this week.  My internet has been acting up since late last night.  I had to call my provider and they tried to troubleshoot from their end - to no avail.  So they had to send a tech out to the house but since we both work, they could not check out the wiring until Steven came home.  I did not get off work until 9 o'clock so this is the first opportunity I had.

Here is Paula's sketch for this week:
And here are the samples from the team:



It has been a busy week for several of our designers so the number of samples is down - but the quality is just as high as ever!
Now it is your turn to show us your creations.  And, once again, I apologize for the delay.  Thanks for stopping by!
