Howdy, fellow crafters! Just a quick announcement for y'all today concerning Cord Scrapbook Studio's Inaugural Design Team call. And that is...
***THERE'S ONE WEEK LEFT TO APPLY!!***
If you're interested in being a part of our first-ever Design Team, the deadline to submit entries/applications is next Tuesday, January 31st! You can find ALL of the information you need including requirements for applying, requirements for participating on the team and compensation for all your hard work on our Design Team info page, here.
We've pretty much spelled out what we're looking for on that page, but to keep it real, he's a few things we're NOT looking for...
A CERTAIN "FEEL". Let's face it--everyone has a different style. There are different subjects you scrapbook, different products you reach for, different techniques you specialize in. And EVERYONE has a story to tell regardless of method. So don't be afraid to apply because you fear your style, your artistic "voice" is different from what you think we're looking for.
We do our best to inspire you--and we want to inspire you even MORE throughout 2012! But we can't possibly represent even the smallest smidgen of all of the creative possibilities that exist in this fabulous, paper-crafting world! And that's where you come in!
PERFECTION. When you scrapbook, you do so to tell YOUR story, YOUR way. So there is no perfect mold for anyone to fit into. So please, pretty please... don't be afraid to apply because you feel you're not "good enough". Like I said... EVERYONE has a story to tell!
Hopefully that eases your nerves a bit... Remember, as a local scrapbook store--we are nothing more than a community of scrapbookers who want to gather and share ideas that keep us all involved in this hobby and loving every moment of it! We represent YOU! And what better way to do so than to have YOU represented in our stores?!
DRAMA. We like to have fun and we're a pretty laid-back bunch. So this is not a popularity contest or a competition to see who ranks where among whom. We like what we do--scrapbooking, card-making, even a little dabbling in the altered arts. And we want YOU to like what you do, too!
And you know... we're flexible. Maybe you're not much of a card-maker, however you LOVE to scrapbook. But because of that one-card-a-month commitment for the Design Team, you're a little nervous about joining in for that reason. PLEASE don't fret! We can cater your DT commitment to suit your passion!!
Bottom line? This is probably one of the most exciting endeavors I've ever participated in here at Cord because it's a chance to see styles and techniques that differ from the ones we can provide from within. It's a chance to get to know other papercrafters in our community a little more and to show off their talents a bit! And at the very least, it's a chance to get some displays on our otherwise empty idea boards--and you know y'all have been asking for that one! :-)
ANYONE can apply. I hope you'll consider!
We looking forward to working with you!
Happy scrappin'!
