DT Call 2012 - September - December

Last DT Call for 2012

Our current DT are still rocking the crap until the end of August but as you all know, we like to keep things cool and stress free. So we give you loads of time to get your application in if you fancy becoming part of our fabulous Design Team.

Are you a hoarder? Do you surround yourself with pretty papers, chipboard, embellishments and continue to add to your stash rather than use it?

Well then you are the perfect crafter to become part of our DT.

Scrap You Crap is looking for eight to ten team members and ideally we would love to have a good mixture of cardmakers and scrapbookers.

**What do we ask of our Designers?

Just one project per month – due on the 7th as our challenges will go live on the 15th.

Register for our DT forum, where we will be throwing ideas around for future challenges and communicate with each other. We do not ask for gazillions of posts, just a bi-monthly check in

Promote SYC wherever possible, for example on your personal blog, online communities.

Commit to a four month term with the possibility of extending this for another term.

Leave comments on all challenge entries - this is super important and will be monitored

**What do our Designers get in return?

The gratification of having used up all that stash which gathered dust. As the concept of the blog is to make use of the stash you already own, it would be kind of defeating the object to compensate with product, right? And also, this gives you the perfect excuse to go and buy more stash...seeing that you used the old one up for our challenges :)

Designers will have a permanent link to their blog (or homepage) on our site.

If you want to become part of this well-established challenge blog, send an email to: sycchallenges@gmail.com and don’t forget to put SYC DT Call in the subject line.

We would like you to submit three projects (layouts or cards) which you feel represent your style the best but they don’t have to be newly created. Please do not send more than pictures for three projects. You can email us images of stuff you have already done before no need to recreate and keep it a secret. Please DO NOT embed images within your email we require them as attachments only. Please make sure that your pictures are not blurry and of a maximum size of 700 x 700 pixels.

Don’t forget to include a link to your personal blog (if you have one) as we are nosy like that and fancy checking you out...

Internationals are more than welcome and the deadline for this call is August 10th 2012. If accepted, your term runs from September 2012 through to December 2012. No prior DT experience is required.


We will contact the successful applicants no later than August 15th 2012.

If you have any questions, please shoot us an email to: sycchallenges@gmail.com and we will get back to you as soon as possible. We look forward to hear from you all!

Announcing...

We are super excited to introduce our new DT Members to you.

As before, we had TONS of talent responding to our call and I swear it gets harder and harder every time to narrow the applications down.

So, without further ado here are the new Queens of Crap 2012 (in no particular order)

Please take some time and check out their awesome blogs, you will love what they create!

You have been waiting so patiently and we are really very truly sorry that it took us SO long to make our announcement but here they are, our new SCRAP YOUR CRAP DT gals.
It will be a surprise for them to see their name too as we did not email them beforehand - so let's hope they still all want to be part of this crazeeeee ride :)

Initially we wanted to add five to the team, but we just were not able to narrow it down, so we decided to take eight of you. That's how we roll at SYC, make up some rules and then totally ignore them *tee hee*

Please help us welcome the following ladies to our team (in no particular order):

Tara Van Moorsel (CAN)

Leslie Rehm Hunt (USA)

Ilaria Gianquinto (ITA)

Brianna Marshall (USA)

Kristen Fougeron (USA)

Michelle (CAN)

Angela Fehr (CAN)

Sarah (AUS)

Congratulations to you all - we cannot wait to work with you and hope that you are as excited about scrapping your crap, as we are.

Thank you again to everyone who submitted to our call - we have been so overwhelmed with your entries that we decided to offer a GDT spot to all of you, who have not made the final team and most of you have already responded to my email, accepting the spots. I am pleased to say that it looks that we will have the most wicked GDT throughout this year...WOOHOOO.

If any of you (DT or GDT) have any questions, please E-mail me and I try to get back to you as soon as possible.

Oh and in case anyone is wondering - there will be another DT call in six months time....so get your scissors at the ready :)
