This is the moment you've all been waiting for!!!

It's time for Scrap-Mart to begin the search for our 2010 Design Team!!! This is bittersweet for us because finding a new team means saying goodbye to our FIRST team. Veronica, Tammy and Jenn have done an outstanding job and we are thankful to have had them represent Scrap-Mart with their creative spirit.

We are looking for FIVE new Design Team members to work alongside me in the year 2010 to bring our customers and readers a whole new level of inspiration! With the holidays upon us we want to make it as easy as possible for you to apply for the DT so here's what you need to do:

Send me an email with 2010 SMDT Search in the subject line. In that email we need the following information:

- Name
- Address
- Phone number
- email (if different)
- personal blog
- and a list of any forums you hang out on (ie Paperee, Splitcoast, Two Peas etc) and please be sure to give us your forum names for each
- we also want to see your favorite card and your favorite layout that you created this year; it's OK if they've been posted elsewhere!!! They do NOT have to be made just for your DT entry, however, if you would like to make something extra special we welcome that too!
- take a moment to tell us a little about yourself; your favorite tool, are you a stamper or a scrapper or both, etc.

The Deets:

Our DT will be responsible for a minimum of 3 projects per month which could include projects, layouts, cards, tutorials and more. Each will be assigned to you in advance so you know what your goals for the month are. You may also be asked to send in physical projects for our convention booth samples. At Scrap-Mart, we believe that papercrafting should be fun and if it's not fun, let's not do it! So, with that our goal is to bring outstanding customer service and top notch inspiration to our customers while having as much fun as possible!

Our product line is diverse and we are looking for that in our DT as well. We carry some of the most popular lines such as Spellbinders, Slice, Copics, Unity Stamps and more! We are looking for a power-packed team of stampers, scrappers, die cutters and general papercrafters!

You do not have to have served on a previous design team or be an avid blogger! ANYONE is welcome to apply! Please note that we reserve the right to share your DT submissions on our blog even if you are not chosen for the DT. Make sure if you are sending projects to us that they are projects we can share! Also, we will accept International submissions.

As for compensation, each member will receive a select amount of free product every month to use to complete their assignments. Monthly product will vary in cost and by manufacturer and will be assigned by me. In addition, each member will be able to shop as much as they like at a great discount!

The DEADLINE for entries is midnight December 15th CST. After we have all entries we will put our heads together and choose the new crew! The 2010 SMDT members will be notified by December 30st and will be announced on the blog Friday, January 1st!

Okay, so that's it! What are you waiting for? Send in your information and your projects! If you have any questions please feel free to email me! And don't forget to tell your friends!!!
