CLICK HERE TO SEE THE DETAILS OF OUR DESIGN TEAM CALL
& get your entry in TODAY if you are interested as our call closes at midnight EST!


We are looking for all styles of artistic scrapbooking
 from people from every country in the world that have 
the time to commit themselves to our requirements,
but you do need to have a signature style so we
 know what to expect from you each month :)

There is no compensation for challenge blog positions,
however those experienced with them can vouch for the
satisfaction, exposure & experience gained from
 being on well-run & well-supported teams like SATW.

Please bear in mind that from our side the selection process
 is never easy as there are many factors to take into consideration, 
as well as a limited number of places.  Only a small amount of
  people who apply for a Design Team position can be successful
 so please don't take it personally if you don't make the team.  

There is always next time or other opportunities that come along! 

 Thank you so much in advance to those of you who apply!!

  I will NOT be sending any confirmation e mails, nor will I be replying
 to anyone other than the successful applicants, for no other reason
 than a genuine lack of time.  I wish there were more hours in the day!

 I check my spam folder regularly so there is no way I will miss your 
application but if you would like to leave a comment ON THIS POST
to say that you have applied I will get back to you ONLY IF I HAVEN'T
RECEIVED IT so that can give you some peace of mind if you are
concerned about that.  

PLEASE FOLLOW US ON BLOG LOVIN' HERE & LIKE us
 on Facebook HERE to benefit from all we have to offer you :)
