That's what it's all about, IMHO.

I know people want to get on teams, but not being there doesn't mean you're not good scrapper or whatever. I know I'm probably not saying anything new, it's just something that I wanted to mention (and you can believe me, because I'm on no team nor do I want to be, for several reasons).

Of course, if you *really* want to be on a team, do what the girls said while still enjoying your creative work, and you'll be there one day. Good luck. :-)
I TOTALLY think this is sooo important - and I admittedly get lost in the "Oh I wanna be on that team soooooo bad" sometimes, or sometimes I just feel like I get lost in the talent and it can feel so good to be noticed, you know? I struggle with this a lot - but then I pull myself out of it and remember that in the end, it's the albums I'm creating for my family that really matter.

Posts like this make me kind of wish I were more involved in the FB/Twitter universe...I mean, I am active at FB but don't have a lot of scrap friends, so sharing some of the things the designers post would be completely lost on my friends list. Which is pretty much the only reason I don't really post pages or anything, I'm afraid it would go unappreciated. I need to start getting better about that.
