Inky Impressions 1st Ever Design Team ANNOUNCEMENT for STAGE ONE!!!


Okay ladies, I have to be perfectly honest in saying that I never imagined that we would have this many Design Team applicants. We are so happy that you all love our images so far! This is truly an honor and such a DREAM COME TRUE!!! This was one of the hardest decisions that I have ever made in my life! NO JOKE! The beautiful cards that we have seen from all of you are just beyond INCREDIBLE! I mean that with all of my heart.

I also wanted to let you know that we have tried our best to narrow it down to 12 ladies and I have to be honest in saying..... What was I thinking??? HOW IN THE WORLD can I only pick 12 of you out of 122 applicants? LOL Every last one of you are so very talented. So, what we have decided to do is just pick more. If your name is not on the list, please keep in mind that this was a very hard choice. This is why I opted to have a few of my fellow stampers help me pick. (Thanks ladies) Also, if your name is not on the list, Please keep in mind that we will be featuring a Guest designer EVERY MONTH....so many spots will be available for that as well.

Okay here are the final 26 names that will move onto stage 2 of the DT Call:

1.) #1 Cami
2.) #2 Tanja
3.) #9 Chris
4.) #17 Holly
5.) #20 Roberta Laliberte
6.) #26 Cathleen
7.) #31 Kristie
8.) #33 Becky Givans
9.) #34 Karin
10.) #41 Carisa
11.) #45 Deb R.
12.) #57 Simonne (Sem See)
13.) #60 Sheila
14.) #63 Debbie
15.) #70 Cassie Larson
16.) #71 Heather Schlatter
17.) #73 Christine Ousley
18.) #80 Maria
19.) #87 Kristine Breach
20.) #89 Heike
21.) #93 Kristen Catalano
22.) #94 Jennifer Love
23.) #96 Tina 46
24.) #101 Iris
25.) #108 Michelle Roos
26.) #112 Shary
27.) #56 Naoual (I had somehow not added them up right and accidentally forgot to add your name, I am very sorry Naoual)

If you have seen your name on the list.... Please email me at Inkyimpressions@hotmail.com with the following:

1.) Full Name
2.) Home Address
3.) Telephone #
4.) Length of DT term desired *(Extended Design Team Member or Guest DT Member)*
5.) What design teams are you currently on or have you been on in the past?
6.) Anything extra that you may feel I should know about you.


Please see image above post---- As a "Special Thanks" to all of of my Design Team applicants, followers and bloggers in general.....I have added a special treat for you all! We were planning to use this image that we had purchased exclusive rights to (for stamp making) back in October for our line, however......for many reasons, we have decided against adding her. (Our direction has changed for the most part & we would like to stick to a certain style.) Please feel free to download her into your files as a special Thank You gift from me. Just right click on the image, hit copy, then paste her into your pics, print her out and go to town. Thank You all so very much for your support. I hope you enjoy the FREE image. HUGS! Nicole :)
