***Clarification added for item#1 in Submission Guidelines. We've received many emails asking if the layouts/projects need to be done using CP products. The short answer is no. The long answer is it doesn't hurt IF it's one of your best projects. We just want to see your best work. Projects done with our products catch my eye of course. But the objective is to submit your BEST work, whatever that may be.****
If this information changes layout/project choices for any who have already applied, you're welcome to re-submit. Please mark your submission "CP DT Call Replacement" and we'll delete your original submission. We've received some beautiful work. I'm just starting to go through submissions, and thought it would only be fair to allow those who've already applied a chance to resubmit if this information changes any of their choices.
Hello Designers! It's time to post the 2009-2010 Collage Press DT call. We're looking for talented scrapbookers, cardmakers, and paper crafters to fill some big shoes from our alumni DT. I've absolutely loved working with Lori, Julie, Jill and Renee.
We'll be choosing 4-6 designers to join our team. This call is open to US and international designers. If you're interested in applying, just include images and responses to the six items below. I've even included "sample responses" to the questions to give you an idea of how simple your answers can be.
Submission Guidelines
Please include the 6 items listed below in your submission:
1. Please send us 5-10 images of your BEST work.
ex: 5-10 images of your favorite, best, most-admired-by-others work.
2. Please let us know if you're a scrapbooker, cardmaker, or altered object maestro. You're welcome to submit different types of projects, but you should have the majority of the images represent your specialty. This time around, I'll be looking for people who specialize in cards, layouts, and 3D craft/home decor projects. So if you really love working in one of those categories, please let us know.
ex: I love making decor for holidays with my patterned papers. Some of my favorite projects include banners, center pieces, and boxes.3. A link to your blog (if you have one).
ex: www.collagepress.typepad.com4. Why you're interested in being on the CP DT. Please don't feel like you need to respond with a 2-page essay to be considered for the team; short and sweet works.
ex: I love CP products and think my style can really make them shine!5. Anything you think we should know about you. (This would be a good place for those of you who are on several DTs to let me know that you're interested in being on this one and are sure you have time for one more. :) ) Of course, this is also for anything else you want us to know about you.
ex: I'm on 5 DTs for 3 manufacturers and 2 stores. For the last two years I've successfully managed to meet deadlines for these design teams.
6. Contact information.
ex: Name
Address
City, ST (Province), ZIP (Postal Code)
Country
A few weeks ago I posted a "pre-call". If you're interested in knowing a bit more more about how things work on our end, what we're looking for, etc. be sure to check it out.
Send submissions to collagepress@yahoo.com, Subject Line: "CP DT Call". We'll accept submissions until Oct 21st. The new DT members will be posted Oct 28th.
If you're invited to join the team, you'll need to be able to do the following:
1. Complete 1 project per month to be posted on the CP blog.
2. Be comfortable (or willing) to host a challenge or tutorial 1-2 times during your 1-year DT post.
3. Spend 1-3 hours a month total to work on Collage Press.
Good luck to everyone! I'm looking forward to seeing all of your great projects.
Oh, my!
