Design Team Call

It is time for a Scrappy Shack DT Call!

I am looking for 3 crafters to showcase The Scrappy Shack die cuts in scrapbooking layouts and other projects for a 6 month term. As a member of the design team you would be asked to create 3 - 6 layouts per month using our die cuts and contribute to the blog one time per month. Designers selected will be compensated with 3 - 6 die cuts each month, plus 25% off on orders in our shop for the duration of your term.

If you wish to apply, I would like to see three layouts and one altered project using any products you wish.

I would love to know a little bit about you. Why do you want to be on the design team? How did you come to love crafting? What do you do for fun? Anything you want me to know about you.

Personal blogs and galleries are not required, but if you do have them I would love to see them! With your application send a link to any blogs or galleries you contribute to.

Also, please let me know any publications or other DT commitments you may have.

International scrappers are welcomed and encouraged to apply.

Closing date for the call is June 2, 2009. Please email me at lori@thescrappyshack.com to be considered.

I cannot wait to see the submissions! Good luck!

Fun Use of the Blah Blah Blah Cut

Okay, it is no secret to those who have read this blog that I am in love with New York City and anything that relates to it. Well, I got an order from a really fun gal in Brooklyn and I was so excited to know that some of my designs were travelling to my very favorite place!

My new friend Meryl was so kind to share with me a picture of what she did with one of the die cuts.

I love it! Very creative use. Thanks for sharing, Meryl!

If you have purchased a die cut from me, I would love to see what you did with it. Send me an email, and I will blog your picture.


I snagged a Boopsie doll this week.


She made some limited edition St. Patrick's Day dollies, and I got one!
Her name is Harlequin. Isn't she adorable?

Happy St. Paddy's Day everyone!
