We Need You!!!

~~~~~***** CLOSED *****~~~~~

**** UPDATE ****

Donna and I have been talking (again, I swear we do more than talk, sometimes we craft lol) and we would like to make the team up to 12 people, so we are increasing the call to FOUR people for Permanent members, how cool is that!

Hi everyone...

Its a bit strange of us to be posting on a Wednesday and this late in the day isn't it!

I have some sad news for you all, but some good news too, to balance it out.

Nicola - our lovely Design Team Member is going to be leaving us. Its with great sadness that she has stepped down. We will miss Nicola and her wonderful cards she makes for us, and wish her the best for her future. We hope that she will come back and follow us and take part in a challenge or two (or three or four or - well you get the picture lol). So Nicola, its been a pleasure working with you at Stampin' for the Weekend, and I wish you well for the future, {hugs sweetie}.

Oh dear, I don't want to go on, its a shame that Nicola is leaving, and its really upsetting, but when someone leaves, someone has to join, right?

So me and Donna and I have a request for all who are interested ...

How would you like the chance of becoming a Stampin' for the Weekend Design Team Member, we have ****FOUR**** places on the team to be filled? Or if that is too much of a commitment, how about being a Guest Designer for us???

Donna and myself have been thinking this over for a little while since we have had a couple of members of the team leave in the past, and how best to fill their boots so to speak?! Previously we asked ladies who had taken part in the blog challenge, and we decided to share the Stampin' love...

...So we are putting it to you! - If you would like to be considered as a Team Member or to Guest Designer for us (which would be a fortnight - so that would mean designing for two challenges) please either link to your favorite card/project etc or create one for the occasion to show us what you can do - the only condition is it must have some stamping on it! ...

This Team Member and Guest Designer Call will close on the Wed 5th of August at midnight GMT, and I will announce the Two New Team Members on the 7th (or when I have had confirmation)...Followed by a list of Guest Designers :o)

IMPORTANT INFORMATION PLEASE READ BEFORE LINKING!!!

Remember - link to ONE Card or Project, if you link to your blog, it makes it harder for us to pick out our own favorites, and we'd like you to show us your favourite!

1. If you would like to be considered as a Teamie - please put SDTM after you name.
   
   
2. If you would like to be considered only for the Guest Designer please place GD after your name.
   
   
3. If you'd like to be considered for both, please put BOTH after your name.

Good Luck everyone!

from the

Stampin' for the Weekend Team!

Well what can I say, the creativeness of the pocket/wallet cards all done by the participants was fantastic. I've never seen so many different varieties before, they were all wonderful and I hope you all enjoyed making them because we certainly enjoyed looking at them.
