Pink Cat Studio Design Team Call!

Hey peeps!

I have a design team call for you from Melissa at Pink Cat Studio!

I’m looking to add a few new members to my design team. If you are interested in joining my team please read below for instructions on how to apply.

As a member of the team, you will receive all of the digi stamps that I create while you are on the team and you will also receive a discount from the rubber stamp store for personal purchases.

The term will be 6 months with the possibility to renew at the end of the term.

Each Thursday I have a digital stamp new release. As a DT member you will be required to create at least one card per week in advance of the Thursday release. The card will need to be emailed to me on or before the Tuesday of each week and then promoted on your blog on the Thursday release day. On occasional Thursdays, the designs will also be offered as rubber stamps but DT members will receive all artwork in digital format, you will not receive rubber stamps in the mail.

The deadline to apply is Tuesday August 2nd at 5 pm EST and the new team members will be announced on Friday August 6th.

To apply for the DT please send me an email with the following structure. (Note: you must put “DT Call” as the subject or your application will not be considered)

Please include your full name and what country you live in.

Include your BLOG address. It is required that you have a blog as the team will use their blogs to post their cards and promote the stamps.

Include links to 2 or 3 cards or projects that you have created using digital stamps. These can link to specific posts in your blog or to an online gallery. Do not attach any cards to your application, I would only like links to your cards.

Please list the software that you use to print your digital stamps.

If you are currently a member of any other design teams, please list them.

I will not be able to respond personally to each applicant so after you email your application you will only hear from me if you are selected for the team. Those chosen for the team will be notified by email on or before Friday August 6th. If you have any questions please post them in the comments section of this blog post.

I look forward to receiving your application!

Have a great day!

Melissa

Ellephantastic Challenge #3 ~ SEW Special

Hello everyone!

Welcome to another Ellephantastic Challenge!

 I am your challenge hostess this week!
I hope that you can join in on the fun!
 "SEW Special"!

I noticed that my sewing machine has been quite neglected so I decided to use "sewing" as this week's challenge theme.

No sewing machine? Or perhaps you don't care to use your sewing machine on your cards? No problem! Have a go at faux sewing! Do you have any stamps or stickers of stitches? YES! They do count! You just need to include some sort of sewing / stitching on the project.

That's right!

The prize this week ~ FOUR digital images from Ellephantastic Cards & Crafts!

Introducing:

Marley and Charlie

CHEESE!

Aren't these two just the cutest?

They sure love their cheese!

Here's my sample using this week's featured Splitcoaststamper tutorial: T-Slide Card

 

You have until 9pm Friday, July 23rd to enter over at Ellephantastic Challenges.

I can't wait to see your SEW special projects!

You're Fan-tastic Sophia

Deeply etched rubber stamps mounted on cling foam.

On sale for $5.48!!

I started with a layer of Hanami Dream (Dove of the East) designer paper. I laid a screen print from Hambly over that. It's a really beautiful screen print that's gold with a design that looks like waves. Under the two layers are two layers of black cardstock. The first layer under the designer papers looks like silver because I painted a silver border all around the edge with my Silverfox Smooch. Sophia has chrysathemums on her kimono that I colored with my Lionet Gold Copic Marker. The rest of her kimono was painted with Frost White and Champagne Mist glimmer paint (Tsukineko). I found the ribbon at a boutique in Half Moon Bay. Isn't that brad pretty? My dear friend, Michelle, let me take one home to play with... it's from the new SU catty!

Hoping that you will join in on the fun this week!

Now it's time to hop on over to Jennifer!

She Sells Sea Shells by the Sea Shore

Hello, everyone!

Did you have a wonderful weekend?

Mine was a very long one... but it's finally over and it's a new week!

What do you have planned this summer?

Any trips to the beach?

You saw this release last week...

Splash of FUN!

I love it!

I especially love Candace and the coral reef image... so much so that I had to use it again this week.

You'll see me use the other images for Thursday's Sketch Challenge. ;)

A BIG thank you to Phyllis Long (SparklePlenty1000) over on SCS.

She was kind to leave me a wonderful comment on one of my cards in my gallery and invited me to join in on the fun over at Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge.

I found this sketch for the week and had to use it for this card!

The sea shells are so much fun!

"She sells sea shells by the sea shore"... did I get that right? :)

Here's the sketch that inspired this:

Etsy Inspired Challenge

If you get a chance, please join in on the fun! You might be a winner of 5 digi stamps!!

I am joining in on the Etsy Inspired Challenge. Kimmieprout is the shop being featured this week.

I was totally  inspired by this set of buttons on her site... perfect for Strawberry Lily!!

I ALMOST did a "scratch and sniff" on this one!

I was out of strawberry Jello so it will have to wait until I get my hands on some.

Can you just imagine what that would smell like?!

Remember Strawberry Shortcake? LOL!

I love cats.

I had to make a card with Pink Kitty and her cute little birdie friend.

My own cat seems to have a thing for Pink Kitty.

Perhaps it was the glaze.

Mia decided to get a closer look up on my craft table as the first Pink Kitty was drying.

Mia jumped up on the table, knocking over my coffee.

Long story short, I had to redo my card.

Lesson learned... NO DRINKS ON THE CRAFT TABLE!! Grrrr!

Meow!

This layout was inspired by Mojo Monday 146:

The DT has come up with some berry delightful projects!

You Make My Heart DANCE

Hello Prettie Peeps!

Time for a new Pretties challenge and blog hop!

If you got here from Jana's blog, then you are on track!

If not, you might want to start at the very beginning of the blog hop with France's blog... don't want you to miss a thing! :)

Did you all have a good start to your week?

It's funny how losing a day in the week to a holiday makes my week that much more full of activities. I feel like I am trying to catch my breath. When I check something off my list, two or three other things pop up... all of them needing my immediate attention, of course. Does anyone else ever feel like this?

Today, I have a sketch challenge for you from Paper Pretties for Challenge 109. Frances has come up with yet another awesome sketch... take a look!

 

As soon as I saw this sketch, I knew I had to pull out my Hambly lace and butterflies. I have been hoarding them for just the right card and this is it! I saw the butterflies within the line of the sketch and grabbed Sophia Ballerina to ink up. What do you think? It doesn't photograph well but it's now one of my favorite cards... definitely one of my fastest cards! LOL!

I hope that your heart dances this week!

 

Now it's time to hop on over to Jennifer!
