2020 DESIGN TEAM CALL

Hi Lovelies...

it is that time of the year that I need to start getting organised for 2020.  We have a few spots opening up here at Scrap the Girls for some new members to join the team.

If you are interested here is what you need to know:

This is probably the most important point...
- You will have to complete 1 layout per month, this is to be submitted to the Design Team Facebook page with your footer attached by the 25th of the month before.

-The current DT term finishes at the end of January so your first layout will be shared in February 2020 and your term will continue until January 2021. You will be given all your challenges for 2020 in January after the current DT is finished.

-Open to everyone regardless of age or location.  We do everything online so you must have a Facebook account and the ability to add a footer to your layout through whatever program you choose.  No watermarks are to be used.  Also no blurred or covered photos.  It is also preferred you use actual photos and not magazine images.

-The challenges for the whole year are shared at the beginning of the year so you will have exclusive access that will allow you to plan and stay ahead of your commitments. These are not to be shared outside of the Design Team Facebook Page. It is always appreciated if you share your layout and link Scrap the Girls on your Social Media.

-I also ask that you go in an spread some love, only once a month, on the entries on the blog.  Leave a comment, spread some positivity.  You don't have to comment on them all but 5 or 6 would be ideal.  I know when I was starting out these comments meant the world to me and you never know how some encouragement can brighten someone else's day.

I am fairly laid back and am open to your interpretation of challenges, there are no set rules.  I just ask that you are punctual and honest.  I am a full time student and mother and run this blog in my own time without any financial rewards so I just want a team that is awesome, creates great pages and gets stuff done without me having to chase you.  I just want to sit down and get everything sorted in one hit, not over 3 days.

So, if this interests you please message me through the Facebook page with an introduction about you, what your favourite thing to include on your layouts is and why you love STG.  Plus an example of your work.  If you have one an Instagram or Blog is a good link to include.  Please also include your country/location. NOTE: no previous DT experience is required. The team and I will work with you to make it as easy as possible.

Please note: I will contact everyone to let you know if you were successful or not.  No uncertainty here.  Call closes 12th December 2019.

I can't wait to see your work.

FAREWELL TO OUR 2015/16 DESIGN TEAM

Today, I want to take a moment to farewell the current Design Team we have at Scrap the Girls.  As you know we have recently called for new team members to join our team and I can't wait to share with you who they are but I do need to acknowlege the current team.  I know I have only been incontrol of the blog for a couple of months but this team has been nothing but 100% supportive of me and my huge learning curve.  I am truly grateful for such a smooth transition as this adventure was a bit of a leap of faith for me and so far it's working out OK.

Some of the current Team have opted to stay on with the new team for the remainer of 2016 but others due to new study commitments, work and just overall life, others have opted to take a step back which is totally understandable and there is no way you can create when other stuff is piling up.
So, today I am farewelling  - Beth Jarrett, Katie Howard, Charmaine Koch and Rebecca Genet.

Over the time that I have been part of the Design Team, these ladies have consistantly produced such a high calibre of work that has often made me question my worth of being part of the team.  The Design and Attention to Detail these ladies have is amazing.  I thank you all from the bottom of my heart for such a wonderful job and for being part of our team.  I wish you all the best with your future endevours and scrappy adventures. We will all keep an eye out for your entries in the future Scrap the Girls Challenges.

As for the girls carrying on with me on this Scrap the Girls adventure, thank you.  I can't wait to see what you all create over the next Design Team period. The challenges are so beautiful Rikki has done such a wonderful job putting all the challenges together.

So, the next post you see from me will be announcing the new Design Team. OH MY! you should see the work these ladies produce. You are going to be blown away.

Until then I can't wait to see your entries into this months sketch challenge.
