Well looks like I'm in the same boat as the rest of you. I may be done trying out for CT teams as well. I can't seem to make it onto any!
Congratulations to those who did make it! You must be FABULOUS! Thanks again for the Opportunity Kristen. |

I didn't make the team either but, I know that these decisions are SO hard for the designers to make. I know the team chosen will be fabulous.
Congrats to all you lucky girls......

I really don't like when people say they are done applying...you have to keep putting yourself out there and you will grow so much as a scrapper and land that dream team one day! We have ALL been there so don't give up!!

How often do designers have a CT calling? I have applied to the only two I have known about. Is there another way of finding out about them? I'm really new to this whole thing, so I feel like I'm at a total disadvantage because I don't know all the "tricks", but I would really love to LEARN them! Anyone have any advice for me? Thanks for the extra encouragement. I'm glad to know others have felt the way I felt a few days ago! |

When I first came to sweetshoppe I would get frustrated sometimes too because I couldn't grab a spot. I worked my butt off doing the challenges, posting in the praise, and chatting away in the forums. I'm thankful that I picked up a guest gig with Eva and Darcy. Then I grew from there grabbing a spot with the awesome Traci Reed, then Krystal Hartley, then Shawna Clingerman, and then Christy Lyle. It took some time yea, but along the way I made tons of new friends. That's my advice for all it counts... hehehe stick to it and be true to who you are and you'll land a spot with these fab ladies. I have to say one thing I don't envy being a designer here with the amount of people and creative awesomeness they get when they do a call. I can't imagine how hard it is to choose. I know when I do land a spot here its because I worked my butt off to get it. Meg is exactly right tho.... I hate to hear when people get down, don't worry we've all been there. best of luck in your future calls, and thanks to the designers that have us, and keep rocking the layouts ladies and you'll grab one. |

No way girl. You were right on. You really do have to work your butt off to get on some teams. Although, mine is still just as large as ever.....what's up with that?

Natalee, I just wanted to add that the best way to apply for a CT is to continue to scrap and put your heart into it. I find for my pages, they really shine if I had some emotional investment when I created the page. Just another way for us to improve to get noticed.

I think Susan said one important thing more - scrap and stay who you are. When you get your dream spot then, you really enjoy it.
I had been in Kristin's team before I had a difficult pregnancy and it was amazing. Now I'm hoping to get into CT scrapping again so I'm starting again and yes - I am prepared for some NOs as well. |

You girls are SO right.
I really understand when I hear a "no". There's so many amazing and talented scrappers out there... I think a "no" is not a "personal" thing is just a thing that happened in that moment. And a "no" we all already have. We must keep trying, take our chances or we'll never be surprised with that so wanted 'yes'.

You can't let this stuff get you down. I know it's hard. I have definitely been there too, trust me! You have to keep working hard, and like Jill said, the pages that have the most emotional investment are usually my best pages. You also never know exactly what designers are looking for. You may be a great scrapper, but have other things going on that would make them choose someone else, kwim? My advice, scrap for YOU. Scrap YOUR style. Don't try to be someone else, and don't try to make what you think other people are looking for. It doesn't work. I did this for a long time and it wasn't until I started doing my pages for me, that I got what I had always strived for. Hang in there guys. Dreams can come true. Don't get discouraged!
