Come One, Come All to Posh Designs Open Team Call!

Hi Everyone! It's me, Michelle with a special blog post to tell you about Posh Designs Open Call for new Design Team Members.

Now if you are reading this it is because...

a) You love to Blog Hop!

b) You adore Posh Designs's Scrapbook Store.

c) Are a Member of the Interactive Community.

d) Scouting for great ideas and tips for your next papercrafting project.

e) All of the Above.

Well let me tell you, this is your exciting opportunity to do all that plus so much more! Now I can tell you what the perks and benefits are but Nini has done a great job of that inside her Call Page. But what she can't tell you is how it is like on the other side aka being Nini's DT Member. So here's my little story...

My experience in the scrapbooking world is small but have known Nini for quite sometime from a buyer and seller perspective originating from Nini's eBay days. I dabbled here and there creating layout pages for my Son's scrapbook but when I read about a contest Posh Designs Scrapbook Store was hosting. I thought, I'd give it shot and to my stunned surprise I won! With my prize winnings I was able to create layout pages and cards beautifully. Then soon after Nini made the first Design Team Call. I pondered alot about whether to apply because really all I ever knew then was the Cricut. Thought because my talents were still raw, I never thought I would be chosen. But I was because Nini saw in me something 'special'.

To this day, Nini is supportive of my work. Working with Nini allows me the creative freedom to make projects to showcase in her blog. I get to interact and stay connected with members across the world via the community site. Plus I get to shop with a discount on fabulous products found at Posh Designs Scrapbook Store. When it came time to let her know whether or not I was staying on her team; I immediately thought no different... I'm staying. Not because of the discounts, not only because of the blog exposure but because I get to make friends and stay connected which is truly why I got into scrapbooking in the first place. However most of all the main reason I chose to remain a design team member is because Nini is now my friend, a really good friend, and I just love her!

So, I urge you to send in your creative projects! I know there is alot of amazing talent out there. You do not need to be an expert just have passion. And if you are a papercrafter; you have that! I cannot wait to welcome you onto our DT Team! I look forward to it.

A big shout out...

Another member has joined our ranks, a hearty welcome to Jackie, all the way from BC!

She'll be our social networking guru and add a west coast style to our site. Button, button, who's got the button... that would be her! Can't wait to see what she's got in store for us.

Maybe you'll do a layout for us of the snow you had and then we can compare notes!

Here comes the bride...

I'd like to offer a big warm welcome to our newest DT member... the Pink Bride!

Another Ontario girl, but who is from further north than I was, has become part of our family.

She says : "My newest passion has become making cards, and I made Christmas cards for the first time this year. I am also in the process of making all of my wedding invitations and thank you cards"

I hope we'll have a chance to see those invites and maybe learn a thing or two about making cards.

Maybe once summer rolls around you'll do a post about the infamous shadflies? I remember seeing them as a child and it's been ingrained in my memory since.

Once again, welcome and we're looking forward to seeing your work.

Layouts + Cards Projects and Ideas from Michelle

Hey ladies,

today we'll be looking at various projects that our newest Design Team member Michelle also known as The McSmitty Girl from Peterborough, Ontario has created with the help of various supplies she won on our first ever Posh Designs contest!

Michelle is addicted to all things that are Cricut related, I do not personally own a Cricut machine but when I looked at the cards she created using the "Wild Cards" cartridge I just have to get my hands on this amazing machine, I'm hoping to convince my DH to get me the new

Cricut Create Machine for Valentines's Day, I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

Michelle has created several cards for a Birthday which is coming up and for her sister in law, who's expecting a baby!

All of her projects are created using KI Memories Pop Culture Papers which also include their lace, frosty and shimmer papers. Letterings are created using various Cricut cartridges. Dontcha just love the extra "pop" that Prima Frillies flower adds!

She has also created layouts which are more personal, this is her first attempt in designing pages about herself ! Boy, do I understand her! We scrappers tend to get carried away by mostly scrapping stories of our loved ones and we rarely consider ourselves as the main subject for a project :)

Here are 2 gorgeous pages about Michelle's love affair with her hair

and her passion for scrapbooking!

When I read this on her page:

I was like awwww... How sweet is that!!! ~ Thanks Michelle, you're a gem :)

Her last layout is about her passion/addiction for scrapbooking!!! Who isn't I know I am!!! ~ Nini
