New Design Team

I feel like there should be trumpets or something. As I keep saying I know the blog is one of my weaknesses and I am really grateful for the team I had last year over the ONE Stamp Project, so I thought why not try again, kick start a a "proper design team". Oh boy I wasn't ready for what happened next, I had thought if I can get 5 or 6 great crafters to share some of the work that will be great. However I have had so many wonderful applications I have chosen seven lovely crafters to get started with. I have also asked another eight to stay with us by slipping in an extra ONE stamp project that you can all join in to if you want.
So who are the lucky 7 who will be getting parcels of inky goodness from Oak House Studio, fanfare please:-

• Elaine Kettle ~ http://wavesofcreativity.blogspot.co.uk
• Barbara Daines ~http://glitterarti1.blogspot.co.uk/
• Deborah Eastman ~ http://debbieeastmancardsimake.blogspot.co.uk
• Doreen O Brien ~ http:www.doreensdream.blogspot.com
• Kitty Frampton ~ http://kittyskrafty.blogspot.com
• SuzeJo Murphy ~ http://crimsonmooncrafts.blogspot.co.uk
• Kerry Kennedy ~ http://craftyfairie.blogspot.co.uk

Kerry and has done some work with me before and Barbara kindly jumped on board early. Elaine has been there since the beginning, has designed some of our stamps. As they say she will always be my friend (as she knows more than I can remember!).

Please welcome them on board and encourage them along a the way, check out their blogs and WATCH THIS SPACE.

I know keeping the blog up to date is one of my weaknesses so I am looking for some help.

Wanted crafters who love to use stamps in their projects.

As soon as I started stamping I became fascinated with how versatile they were and how many different ways they could be used. No surprise that I went on to start to designing stamps and create my own stamp company. I am looking other crafters from a range of backgrounds and crafts to join a design team. I have to admit this is my first full blown design team so I am not sure how it will all work out and I may need some help and ideas.

Requirements include:

1. The ability to produce 3 projects from each parcel you will be sent. No more than one parcel in any one month. You won’t be needed every month so you if have some months you prefer to miss let me know.
2. Good photography skills for taking pictures of your projects
3. Projects posted with social media: Facebook, your personal blog, Oak House Studio Blog
4. Participation in our blog, including writing your own posts.
5. Participation in this year’s one stamp event. Details of last year can be found on the website. The provisional date for this year is 21st/22^nd of September, but you will have your kit in time to make ahead of the date if need be.

Does that sound fun?  If it does, it’s about to get better.  Here’s what I’ll do for you in return:

1. The featured stamp(s) plus inks and embossing powder sent to you in advance of the event.
2. BONUS product chosen by YOU to be sent following your successful completion of this project.
3. Link from our blog and Facebook page to your personal blog
4. My undying gratitude and amazement for your creations

What do you need to do to enter?  That’s easy too! 

1.  Submit photos of 3 of your most favourite projects that highlight your own personal use of stamps, and links to your blog or gallery to oakhousestudio@gmail.com (Projects do not need to use Oak House Studio products, but we’d love it if they did!)
2. Submissions must be received NO LATER than Thursday 31st January 2013.
3. Write up a quick bio about yourself, mentioning why you’re interested in being on the DT, what experience (if any) you have with DTs, and why you love stamping.
4. Wait impatiently as I collect the submissions and choose who I can use for this project.
5. I will keep your details on file and will contact you if I think you may be able to help us with design team work in the future.
