DT call for Pocket Letter Team

Pocket Letter Design Team Call

Cute As A Button Stamps is looking for members for its New Facebook Pocket Letter Group Design Team. International Submissions are welcome!

Do you currently have an active blog?
Do you have an active Facebook?
Do you love to create projects, working with digital images?
Do you love to create Pocket Letters for the sake of creating and to help inspire others?
Can you take good clean/clear pictures of your work?
Can you meet a deadline?
Can you create up to 1 to 2 projects a month?

I am looking for DT members to join our Team, to showcase my Cute As A Button Stamps Pocket Letter products.

What do you need to do?

First of all, you must have a blog and Facebook account that you keep current.

Next, send me an email to serve as your DT Application. It must include the following information:

Your name and location
Your blog address and Facebook page link;
How you would describe your style (we’re looking for all different styles);
Why you would like to work with Cute As A Button products?
Do you belong to any current DT Teams? If so which ones?
Four (4) different Pocket Letter projects showcasing your talent. These can be most recent or older projects (either uploaded to the email or linked to your blog).
Let us know what your experience is working within a design team. If you don’t have any DT experience, that is okay too!
Any other relevant information you’d like to share.

What is in it for you?
We are NOT looking for people who are into design teams just to grab every digi or free goodies they can; or people who like to gossip. If that is you, then I’m afraid you just won’t be a good fit with us.

HOWEVER, if you are mature, honest, have good moral character, love to have fun, enjoy creating Pocket Letters, and want to inspire your fellow Design Team members along with our readers, then this is the place for you!

1. You will be provided Pocket Letter Sheets and Kits as well as with a range of images from Cute As A Button Stamps to work with and use not only for our Facebook challenges, but on projects for yourself and other challenges.

2. Your name and blog link will be displayed on the Cute As A Button Blog.

Other Details…

1. Terms are for 6 months long (with an option to extend if mutually agreeable) and will start once you have been accepted onto the team.

2. You will be on probation for 3 months.

3. We will be creating one Facebook Design Team for now. On average you will need to create 2 projects a month.

4. You may be asked to participate in Facebook contests.

5. Projects need to be uploaded to our private DT Facebook Group (3) days before your scheduled day. The only requirement for this project is to use a Button PL and image. Other than that, anything goes. All group communication and file uploading will take place in the Cute As A Button PL FB Group. It is a private group and only Cute As A Button members will have access to it.

6. All info is available well in advance for you to create your projects in time on the DT blog.

7. Have a Facebook account (this is where our DT chats and where I post our files and sponsor images).

8. Have a personal blog to post about each new contest and link back to the store.

9. Post you DT Badge on your blog's sidebar.

10. Vote on DT top picks at the end of each challenge.

12. Most importantly. Promote Cute As A Button images wherever you can! (Pinterest, Facebook Groups, Magazines, Blogs, etc.)

This is an open call for now until all available spots are filled. We are currently looking for at least 4 people.

If you have any questions at all, please contact me by email - cuteas_a_button@yahoo.com
If any of you, our loyal readers, would like to advertise the DT call for us on your own individual blog or Facebook page, we would sincerely appreciate the shout out.

This DT Call is open to everyone - international applicants welcome, no previous design team experience necessary. The call will stay open until all spots have been filled.

I look forward to reading your applications and beautiful creations and can't wait to add you to our team!

Groovy Girl Visits England

Hi Carla here with my new inspirational card for September!

Me along side Union Jack

Last month for my inspirational card as a member of the Cute as a Button Design Team, I told you about my trip to Paris. After touring the sights of that great city, my husband Sandy and I flew to the UK. Here we again took in all the sights including: Tower of London, Big Ben, Tower Bridge, Buckingham Palace, Trafalgar Square, and Piccadilly Circus.

Our hotel...Royal Garden Hotel

What should we do first?

Buckingham Palace

Tower of London

Tower Bridge

Mounted Trooper of the Household Cavalry

St. Martin-in-the Fields Church

Should we go by Underground or bus?

Another reason to visit the UK was to meet my husband's British relatives, in Black, England. We drove from London to Blackpool and met with the family, including two little girls. We also got to tour this seaside resort out of season, as it was fall.

Brooke family

Sandy's great aunt

Phone booth and grocery store on the block where my husband's great aunt lived in Blackpool.

The Headlands Hotel, where we stayed in Blackpool.

Blackpool Resort

Blackpool Tower

I picked the Groovy Girl image for my inspirational card because she is who I thought I was back in 1971! In this scene, she is back in London today! Check out the picture of me between two of the famous Beefeaters guarding the Tower of London!

Groovy Girl is a Cut as a Button image by Artist Francesca Lopez, She creates wonderful images to be used by card-makers and scrapbook hobbyists.

The Groovy Girl image was colored using Spectrum Noir Pencils and a blender marker. A scene from the Craftscapes London Landmarks digikit was merged with the colored image in the Craft Artist 2 program.

I hope my work has inspired you to enter a challenge or two sponsored by Cute as a Button. You can share your projects at Cute as a Button Facebook Group.
There is a "Harvest/Thanksgiving," challenge you should enter at Cute as a Button.
