that dreaded ugly feeling.

I don't apply for a lot of teams anymore (honestly, never really have, LOL), but it's way less now. BUT...I did apply to one recently that I really wanted and was rejected. I didn't expect to get it and my thoughts were confirmed when I saw the list of scrappers who did...I don't scrap like them...at all (and honestly, neither do a lot of people, but that's neither here nor there). I think the biggest thing is to just have confidence and be happy with your own designs, that's really the best thing you can do to make your pages shine.

On the actual rejection letter- personally, I prefer not to get one, I don't need a reason, just show me the list of who got it. And that feeling comes from being on both ends of a CT call at one time or another!

This is pretty much me too. I don't really care how they reveal the team as long as they say in the call where and when it'll be. I'm not really a fan of rejection emails, usually they're just generic ones anyway or I've had them come after the list is already posted. Then it's like being rejected twice.

I don't know that I've ever been too disappointed by any CT calls. I just see it as if it's meant to be, it'll happen and if not, then it probably wasn't the right fit for me anyway. Something better almost always comes along anyway.

I think the only rejection I had a hard time with was the Babe Call here. hehehee I know I am still learning (on a daily basis), one day I WILL be picked (maybe by then all my kids will have moved away from home, and I will have a computer implanted in my brain and fingertips, but whatever. hehee).

When I first started out, I would apply for any and all calls, I didn't care. As I've developed in this passion of mine, I am a wee bit more selective - I will not apply if I don't love the designers stuff!

I find this more and more true every day. I only apply if I KNOW I can work with something of theirs and I love what they do!

I applied for to be a babe here once. LOL. It was a "what the heck," and I knew that it was a doubtful chance. That being said, I used to apply to any and all calls, but now I really think about them before I hit send. I think that's why the rejection stings so much. They're teams that I really want.
