Application & Due Date:

Please email your Creative Team Application to lovebugcreations3@gmail.com by midnight EST Monday, August 12, 2013.

Please copy, paste the following info into an email, fill it in and email it:

Your Name
Mailing Address (USA Residents only)
Email Address
Phone Number
Blog Name (and a link) as well as links to any other social media you would use to promote LoveBug Creations (Twitter, YouTube, Pinterest, Instagram, Google+, Reddit, Two Peas in a Bucket, etc.)
A list of current Design Teams you are on. If you currently are on one or not, that will in NO way affect their decision.
Tell the story of YOU! When did you start crafting? What is your favorite thing to make? What sets you apart from other crafters?? What do you think are your strengths and weaknesses as a crafter – be honest. What do you do besides crafting?
Tell them why you WANT to be a part of the LoveBug Creations Creative Team!

Include:

Attach photos or links to your all-time favorite 2 projects you have made. These can be from any time period as long as it is your original work. They want to see what you think is your best.

They would also like to see 1 brand new, never posted anywhere project! This can be whatever you would like to make. Of course you don’t have to use their Rumple Ribbon on this but it wouldn’t hurt. It MUST, however, have ribbon on it so they can see how you would use the Lovebug Creations ribbons. Think outside the box and try to use ribbon in a new, fun way.

The LoveBug Creations Creative Team will be announced on their blog and Facebook on August 16, 2013!

If you have any questions PLEASE ask. Questions can be sent to lovebugcreations3@gmail.com or contact them through their Facebook page http://www.facebook.com/LovebugCreations

I can tell you that being a part of the Lovebug Creations Creative Team has been a wonderful experience and I have met many amazing crafters. Good luck to my creative and talented friends!

Christine Barker

Design Team Call: Graphic 45

Did I mention that Graphic 45 is one of my favorite scrapbook paper companies? You don’t want to miss your chance to join their brilliant and celebrated design team! Not only do you get the opportunity to create some fantastic projects and show off your skills, but you get shipments of amazing new product, not only from Graphic 45 but also from the crafting companies that they partner with!

If you aren’t familiar with the story of how Graphic 45 was started, I’ll share some of the inspiring story with you. Diane Schultz worked as a designer for companies like McCalls, Simplicity, Vogue/Butterick and some other companies. At the age of 45 she went back to school and got her degree in graphic design. As a person who has gone back to school and earned a degree while working full time and raising a family, I applaud Diane for her discipline and hard work. Diane named her company Graphic 45 to celebrate her achievement.

She took a risk and launched her company with the help of her daughter, Aimee, and the rest is scrapbooking history.
