Scrapbooking Creative Team


Today was an exciting day for me! I have been digital scrap booking for about 6 months now. There are tons of aspects to the "digiscrap" world! One of those aspects is being part of what is known as a Creative Team.

A Creative Team is a team of people who "work" for a specific designer helping her to promote her digital kits. You get all the fun kits for free in exchange for doing layouts with her stuff and posting them in various places. They are supposed to inspire other scrappers, and also "sell" the kit.

I have applied for a few Creative Teams in the past, but have never made the cut. I got pretty close one time, but didn't make it. This last week there have been several Creative Team calls on lots of sites, and so I applied to 3 this week.

The first team I applied to, I got a "no". This was no number 2, so I was thinking, OK...three strikes and I'm gonna be out. I had two more applications out that I hadn't heard back from, but I wasn't holding my breath.

HOWEVER...much to my surprise I got an e-mail from the second designer I applied to inviting me to be on her team! She is a new designer, so her store isn't real big yet, but she has such cute stuff! I'm so excited to be on a team! Her site is located at: http://jacabean.blogspot.com if you want to check her out.

Chris doesn't "get it", he's not nearly as excited as I have been all day,but I guess I can't fault him too much for that. He thinks I'm crazy with this digital scrapping anyway. Most of my digiscrapping friends are excited for me though, so that's good enough I guess.

I have already completed and turned in my first Layout for a kit that will be released in stores on October 30.

I feel very confident in saying.....YEA ME! :)

Oh, and I also started yet ANOTHER blog for the layouts I do for this team. It seemed easier to do a new blog just for that than it would be to try and "sell" scrapbooking kits on our family's blog. haha It's listed under my fun blogs tab -"Our Life Digitally Scrapped, " if you ever get really bored one day.

This is so cool. Congrats. I think I could really become addicted to this digital scrapbooking stuff. I want to talk to you about it in the spring after I graduate. I don't have a lot of time right now. Ah Man Kimball is signed in right now. So in case you didn't know, this is Elaine. Haha.
