DT Announcement!!

We would like to thank everyone who applied to be on the Inky Impressions' design team. We appreciate each and every submission. We had some really fabulous entries and it was so hard to pick only 6.
We would like to mention that although we love our international friends (and have DT members from all over the world), we are a U.S. based company and we have to be sure that our U.S. customers can enjoy our design team's blogs. For future reference (and will be stipulated in the DT calls in the future) all applicants must post in English (you may include your own language as well). We had some fabulous international applicants that we adored their work; however, they either did not have a translator on their blog or the translator did not offer English as a language option. :o(

We will keep all applications on file for future guest designer spots, so even if you did not make the permanent team you could still be asked to be our guest for a month. :o)

Ok now on to the exciting announcement! Are you ready to find out who the January-April Inkettes will be? Who am I kidding; I am sure you already scrolled down to find out. lol
