Who was your first CT? And more...

[Jennifer]

I know I've seen these threads before, but it's been a while and I think they're interesting. So...

1) Who was your very first CT?

2) Who was your first SSD CT?

3) Who is your dream CT(s)?

[lauren grier]

I've only ever really been on 2 cts ahaha I just don't have time

1) Who was your very first CT? joana carvalho- I guested for her I think.. and then I was on jomi's team :]

2) Who was your first SSD CT? I pretended to be on julie's team for a while.. does that count? lol

[Libby Pritchett]

Oh fun question!

Well I was on lots of paper design teams (the paper equivilant of a CT) for many years before going digi.

My first digi CT was Kathy Moore (she was a friend who took pity on this poor newbie I think. LOL!) My first non-friend CT was Lena/Tab of Bella Gypsy (and incidentally they're both on my ct now AND I consider them both to be my friends.)

My first SSD ct was Robin and then Dani about a month later. A couple of months after that I became a sugarbabe.

[lovely1m]

1. Sherrie Piegdon who was looking for her first CT (2.5 years ago) and I applied. She now owns Pixel Gypsy Designs and I am on the store CT.

2. I have no SSD CTs (not that I haven't applied).

ETA new question
3. My dream CTs are SugarBabe (or just Dani, Traci, Kristin, Heather, Lauren, Libby, Julie, Shauna, Susan, Zoe, Darcy or umm, anyone else) or Flergs or Kasia at other stores

[digideb]

My first CT was Sweet Genevieve Designs! Actually, I was her first CT member!
And my first (&only) SSD CT is La!

[Jennifer]

Edited 1st post for a 3rd ?.

[joelsgirl]

My very first CT was Janet Phillips, and the only reason she took pity on me was because we had just met IRL a couple of months earlier. LOL. She says she took me on because she likes nice people. {blush} Either way, it wasn't because of my mad scrapping skills.

My first SSD CT was ScrapKitchen, but she wasn't at SSD when I started. She came to SSD a couple months later.

[Aggie Aviso]

My first CT was Sarah Jones, and for SSD it was Andrea Victoria and Ange Barton, who are no longer designers here. I became a SugarBabe after.

[tuneskids]

My first CT was Kristin Cronin-Barrow, 3 years ago almost!!! And I am still with her now!

My next CT was for Eva Kipler (and Jan Hosford), around the same time.

First SSD designer (after Kristin) was Bree!!

And DREAM CT?? I dream of being a Sugar Babe for here! Or making La's or Bean's, or Traci's, or Dani's, etc Teams. hehehe

[ColleenSwerb]

My first CT was for Kim Broedelet (she sells at DSO).
My first SSD CT was a quest spot for Bree Clarkson, and then I got a spot with Traci Reed at the start of 2008.

I finally got my dream CT spot last month when Robin asked me to be a Hybrid Babe

[Rae's World]

#1. I was on AmyLeigh Designs & Jessica Alger at GDS. I was also a guest for Mellissa Bennett.
#2. no one here at SSD, not for the lack of trying.
#3. Mary Fran, Kay Miller, Zoe Pearn, Kristin CB, MandaBean, ScrapKitchen

no CT's right now.....

[Tracie Stroud]

My first CT was Libby here at SSD. She had pity on me after I had been turned down for pretty much every other call here. lol. And my dream CT was always to be a Sugar Babe.

[ditzyscrap]

My very first CT was for Alicia Hansen aka Cashew Style...WAAAY back when CT's weren't very common at all. I started working for her in August 2004.

My first SSD team...Susan. Well, I was on Manda's way back in tha day, before she got on at TDC even, lol...and I was a guest on Dani's a long time ago. I begged and pleaded for a full-time spot, but never got one, lol.

I don't really have a dream CT anymore...I've given up on that part. But, I definitely have my dream designing position!

[pewtertm]

1) Who was your very first CT? Sandra Adamson (aka Seascraps), and then Seaside Scraps site CT member (Sharon Kay was our leader LOL)

[LenaGardner]

My first CT was Laura Alpuche, back when she owned The Digi Chick I had been turned down by atleast 10 designers when she took me

My first SSD CT was Manda Bean

It's hard to want for more, because I'm on five AMAZING teams here. But, if I were forced to 'fess up, I'd admit that La's team is my dream team.

[nikkiARNGwife]

1) Who was your very first CT? I was contacted and invited to join the site CT at Elemental Scraps..so that was my very first and the first one I applied and got was a guest spot with Kathy Moore.

2) Who was your first SSD CT? Laura Deacetis

3) Who is your dream CT(s) Well...I've applied to be a sugarbabe 3 times so I'll always hope for that one lol Of course I love ALL the designers here but if I had to choose one SSD dream spot(other than the ones I already have)it would be Kristin b/c I am in love with everything she makes

[Leila]

1) Who was your very first CT? Cottage Arts & Memory Makin' Divas. I made both teams pretty much back to back

[LibbysMommy]

My very first CT ever was for Tiff Brady

My first SSD spot was Robin Carlton

All of my current CTs are my dream CTs. If I were to add more it would be anyone here at the Sweet Shoppe, esp Chef, Kristin CB, La, Darcy and Dani.

[Jennifer]

I guess I should answer my own question, huh? LOL, got sidetracked...

1) Who was your very first CT? Christie Lemmon at Digital Candy. She's no longer there.

2) Who was your first SSD CT? Bree!!! I'll be forever grateful, too.

3) Who is your dream CT(s)? Seriously, I'm already soooo lucky to have my amazing and talented designers. I am humbled to create for these wonderful ladies. Each of them are my dreams!!! My other dream will always be that Babe spot...that's why they call it a dream, huh? I'd also LOVE LOVE LOVE the chance to work with Shawna...I her stuffs. KCB, La, and LibbyLou are also dreams for me.

[Julie Billingsley]

1) Who was your very first CT?
Christy Lyle ... she saw something in me and for that I'll always always be thankful. Let me say it again, Christy you are the best. I love you.

2) Who was your first SSD CT?
Same answer, Christy!

3) Who is your dream CT(s)?
I've lived my dream of being a SugarBabe (and pssst.... I've CTed for other big designers and sites and let me tell you that a SugarBabe is honestly the BEST CT position. And I wouldn't just say that.) My dream is still to be on Lauren's team, simply because she rejected me when I applied. I love her anyway.

[tracey]

1) Who was your very first CT?
Robin Carlton

2) Who was your first SSD CT?
Robin Carlton

3) Who is your dream CT(s)?
I'm on it, a Sugarbabe

[amystoffel]

2) Who was your first SSD CT? Misty Cato

[newfiemountiewife]

1) Who was your very first CT? Gina Arzaga who at the time was at Purple Paper Flowers, I was only there for a month or so. Jennilyn Designs (my lovely cousin-in-law) was almost at the exact same time, and I stayed with her a long time.

2) Who was your first SSD CT? Julie!
I was also on Christy's, Traci's as a freelancer, Susan's (Scrapkitchen), but decided to resign in December, when my mojo went way away somewhere. I felt like crap for having to do that. And I'm still sad about it.

3) Who is your dream CT(s)? To be a Sugar Babe...that's my dream, always has been. But I've applied 3 times so I guess I still have a long way to go before that will come true.

[Brooke W]

1. My first CT was Darcy.
2. My first SSD CT was Darcy,lol.
3. I sure wouldn't turn down a chance to be on Susan, La's, Tracy's or KCB's teams,lol. Sorry, i couldn't pick just one, all the ssd designers are so fabulous.

[gypsystar]

My first CT was Heather Roselli (she sold at The Digi Chick back then.)

My first SSD CT was Paula Duncan who no longer sells here.

Aside from my current CTs whom I feel beyond blessed to with I would have to say my dream teams would be Manda Bean and Lauren Grier .

[littlekiwi]

My first guest ct spot was with Krystal Hartley as promotions guru last July
I am on no SSD spots but would love to be on Dani's or Bree's or Darcy's
As far as non SSD spots I would love - I would love to be on as permant for Krystal Hartley (I'm due for a guest spot with her in April) & Nikki Painter (I've just finished a 2 month guest spot with her).

[iJenny]

My first CT gig was with Ms. Christy Lyle. And obviously, she was my first SSD CT also. Followed soon-after by Lauren Grier and Traci Reed. I've only ever CT'd for two non-ssd designers..... BellaGypsy (Lena and Tabatha) and Amanda Heimann.

[Jennilyn]

1. I believe my first CT was Melany Violette's (Simply Clean Digi Scraps)
2. My first SSD CT was Amanda Rockwell's
3. I'm on my dream CT's, but I would also like to add Kay Miller & Sugarbabe to my list.

[cheltzey]

1. I think it was ManuScraps...I think she's just Manu right now, but I'm not sure if that's her!
2. Susan Bartolini and Christy...I got on those at about the same time, although I have no idea why!!!!
3. I'm on several of my dream teams...although whose dream gig ISN'T Sugarbabe! I'd be in HEAVEN if I got that one. If I had to choose just one designer, it would be Dani.

[tkelley]

First CT - Melissa Daniel
First SSD CT- Misty Cato
Dream - a Sugar Babe (sigh) or if I could just be on ALL the SDD teams, that'd be great!

[scrapperjade]

1) Who was your very first CT? Way back when, Bree let me be on her team (back when she only had like 5 things out and was still selling at Scrapbook Graphics). The same week I got on a CT for Karen Lewis, but I ended up quitting that one about 6 months later! I was on the CT with Monique (mpatry)!

2) Who was your first SSD CT? I guess Bree... I'm not on any others from here.

3) Who is your dream CT(s)? I just got on Amanda Heimanns, which thrilled me because I love her style... I would also love to be on Zoes (!!!!), Libby's & Scrapkitchens. But I only want to be doing the 2 that I'm doing right now, as I only scrap 3-5 layouts a month, and anymore would be overwhelming!

[alansrock]

[meganmecrazy]

1) Who was your very first CT?
MISTY CATO!! I was on Misty's CT for such a long time and it broke my heart when I left her team, and I still can't get over that. Makes me so sad. I miss her and the whole CT, they were so awesome. When I quit, I had just started online college classes. Not really knowing what to expect (with school) and me not wanting to be in over my head I went ahead and quit ALL my CTs (I as on probably 6 CTs and 2 Design Teams where I scrapped LOs but also created freebies for challenges and stuff). But Misty's was the longest CT I had ever been on, so I probably should have dropped all but her's and I regretted that for a long time.

2) Who was your first SSD CT?
If we aren't counting guest CT's then NONE! Edited to add my guest spots because I was/am so happy to have had the opportunity! I guested for LA and now for BREE!! YAY!!!

3) Who is your dream CT(s)?
WOW, there are too many fabulous designers out there to just pick one dream gig. Of course everyones dream is to be a SUGAR BABE, there isn't one designer here who I wouldn't want to create LOs for!! But, if I had to pick a couple specifics here at SSD it would be PENNY SPRINGMANN and LA!!

[Voodoo_Bryn]

1) Who was your very first CT? I guested for Chere Kaye over at Funky Playground, and my first permanent CT position was for MandaBean. <3

2) Who was your first SSD CT? MandaBean.

3) Who is your dream CT(s)? Well, I've had a serious run of luck here at SSD, I've been on so many wonderful teams... outside of being a Babe, here at Sweet Shoppe I'd love to be on Shawna and Penny's teams, and outside of SSD, I'd love to be on Kasia's team and Tracy Ann Robinson's.

[my4boys]

1) Who was your very first CT? Nayyan over at Digital Scrapbooking De ( I think??)

2) Who was your first SSD CT? The lovely Penny Springmann, followed by a guest spot on Bree's team, A freelancer for the fab Traci Reed and another guest spot for Eva Kipler

3) Who is your dream CT(s)? Well all the other designers here (sucking up a bit ) Other than that I am on them already and am so lucky. I do Jofia Devoe, Kasia, K Studios, Lorie Davidson....I could go on forever

[cindys732003]

1) Who was your very first CT? Jennifer Layden (Jennilyn Designs).....Hi Jennifier!!

2) Who was your first SSD CT? Angela Barton, then Christy!!

3) Who is your dream CT(s)? Definitely on it right now.....being a Sugarbabe!!!

1) Who was your very first CT? Heather Roselli

2) Who was your first SSD CT? Miss Heather

3) Who is your dream CT(s)? I have to say I'm blessed to be on my dream teams right now. If I was gifted with more time I'd love to work with Catscrap and all the SSD girlies...

2) Who was your first SSD CT? I think Heather was my first SSD team, I was with her at The Digi Chick and stepped down not long after she came here. So, Maybe Christy was my first

3) Who is your dream CT(s)? I'm spoiled, I've CT'd for all my dream people except being a Sugar Babe. SSD is my home and how much fun it would be to be a part of such an awesome site. But for now I'm rocking or have rocked all my dream gigs.

[schock77]

This is SO interesting to me... great thread!

1) Who was your very first CT? DigiTreats

2) Who was your first SSD CT? I had a guest gig with KCB (right before my ehd died) and it was GREAT- her stuff rocks!

3) Who is your dream CT(s)? I'd say a sugarbabe, but I know I'm nowhere near that caliber a scrapper yet... that said I'd GLADLY jump right in with any SSD designer! Got guest gigs coming up with Ziggle Scraps and Amanda Heimann. I'd also love to work with Miss Mint or Flergs (while we're still dreaming....).

(kicking myself for not applying for Chef- so busy this week I ran outta time!)
