January - June 2018 design team call!

It's time for a design team call!

We are looking for new design team members and we're also looking for sketch designers.

Our next term will run from January to June 2018. Please do not apply if you cannot commit to this entire time frame.

What you will do:

• provide one project per month, with possible special events during the six month term
• comment on all submissions as you are assigned - please do not apply if you cannot commit to this!
• post our challenge to your blog and other social media outlets 
• have projects completed and posted one week before the deadline

What you need:

• experience with Blogger
• an active blog and/or social media accounts
• a Facebook account as this is where the DT "meets"
• a love for creating with sketches
• organizational and time management skills 
• the ability to commit to a six month term

What we will do:

• provide the sketches at least one month in advance
• provide your posting schedule and commenting assignments at the beginning of your term
• be supportive and encouraging
• share your projects and your blog and/or social media links on the SID blog
• share your projects on our social media outlets

How to apply:

• send an email to Ashley at StickItDownChallenges@gmail.com with the subject line "Design Team Call"
• include your name and location
• include a list of current commitments (no experience necessary!)
• include three of your favorite layouts that best display your style and suit the requirements of the team you are applying for (ie submit cards if you are applying for the card team)
• introduce yourself in few brief sentences
• If you have experience or are interested in designing sketches, please include a few of your sketch designs as well.

A few notes: There is no compensation for this team and I am aware that family and life in general come first. However, this is a team and this is a commitment. Please review carefully what is required of you and if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask! Also, please be mindful of your other design team responsibilities and if you think time management will be a concern, wait until next time to apply! We post a DT call every six months!

This call is open to everyone, including our current team members, and will run until 11:59pm on Sunday, November 26. SID reserves the right to end the call sooner if the team requirements are fulfilled before this date. The new team will be notified by Thursday, November 30 and announced on the SID blog on or around Tuesday, December 19. The new design team's projects will be revealed in January. If you have any questions, please let me know!

October guest designer... Asa!

Please welcome our card guest designer, Asa.

Hi!
My name is Åsa Johansson and I´m so proud being a GD here this month. I just LOVE this card sketch!!!
I´m living in Sweden with my three children, my partner and a dog. I work as a teacher since 18 years.
Scrapbooking and cardmaking are my big addictions. I started 2007 when I was pregnant with my twin girls and couldn´t work. I haven´t stop since...
I mostly do cards and layouts. My style is CAS. I love CAS. I don´t think that is a simple style. 
I love to meet friends and scrap togehter at crops. It´s so lovely to be inspired by others and feel that good feeling that you maybe can inspire some others. I cross my fingers and hope that you get some inspiration from my card. 
If you want to visit my blog and say hi you´ll make my day: https://scrapatheltenkelt.blogspot.se/

Hugs, Åsa!

October guest designer... Maria!

Please welcome Maria as our guest designer this month!

Crafts by marialachica was born in 2010 when I decided to start making my own greeting cards.
A year before I was brave (or foolish…) to make my own wedding stationery without any prior knowledge or experience in crafting! I’ll tell you a secret: it didn’t end up being any cheaper than getting custom bought ones! But hey, I loved the experience and hence I started doing it a bit more seriously afterwards.
As I just said, it all started with greeting cards. Looking back at the photos of my first ones, I can’t believe how far I’ve come in all these years. My style has changed and I am now a bit wiser regarding materials and techniques. I also know my limitations and there are some crafting trends that I know I will never be able to follow! (for example, water-colouring…)
I am mum to boy/girl twins, married to Jon and we all live in Basingstoke, UK.
