In the digital scrapbooking world (for all you non-scrappers out there) they have something called creative teams (i've talked about them a bit before). It's where a designer assembles a creative team of highly talented scrapbookers to scrapbook with her products and promote her products in exchange for free use of said product. When I first learned about CT's I applied to quite a few and landed them. Unfortunately I quickly learned that there are quite a few designers out there that don't mesh with my style and aren't products that I would necessarily choose to work with. So I learned to be picky in applying, because my time is important and it wasn't enjoyable to scrap with stuff I didn't love.
The problem in getting picky is that there are probably less than 8 desginers i truly LOVE, unfortunately those are designers that are also LOVED by MANY. Which means I face stiff competition to get on those teams. I've applied to a few of those this year only to receive rejection after rejection :(
About a week ago I noticed that one of my VERY favorite designers put out a GUEST call (Where you get to join the team but only for a month). If you look through my gallery you'll notice that I use at least one of her products on just about all my pages. I decided to send in my info and at least give it a try. I was chatting with Ev when I got a reply email. I saw the subject line and thought ~ brace yourself for another rejection. I opened it up and Lo & Behold ~ it was an invitation to join the team . . . not just as a guest but as a PERMANENT member!!!
HAPPY DANCE!
So now I am happily creating for Creashens (you can see the announcement on her blog). She sells at Catscrap.com and twolittlepixels.com
Here are two of her newest kits ~ GORGEOUS and such a pleasure to play with. I'll be posting a layout soon.
