Freelance Team Call

So, as I've said before, I just don't do CT calls, but I've been thinking for a while about a very unique opportunity that I'd like to implement with my CT. Rather than randomly inviting individuals like I usually do, I decided now was the time to have a little call.

This isn't your typical CT call, so read on for more information!



Please note, this call is for my new freelance team. What's a freelance team? Well, here's how it will work.

* No monthly minimum layout requirements
* No long-term commitments
* access to my new releases before they're available to the public
* consideration for a spot on my full-time CT at a later date

Having a new baby at home, I find that my work time is limited which makes it hard for me to get kits to my team early in the week. Sometimes I need last-minute layouts, and I'd love to have a group of girls I can turn to. When I have a new product for which I require extra samples, I will send a preview out to all of my freelancers. If you like the kit and have time to do a layout for me before the store goes live, you will just email me back for links. If the kit isn't your style or you won't have time to work within my time-frame, then there is no pressure. You can pass and wait for the next kit!

I will ask my freelancers to complete 1 layout every 90 days in order to remain on my active freelance list. Please only apply if you are serious about this opportunity and frequently have time to scrap at the end of the week (Thursday and Friday).

If I have an opening to fill on my full-time team at some point, I will likely fill that spot from my list of freelancers first. So, this is an excellent opportunity to get your foot in the door without all the added pressure of a new CT during the busy summer months.

Any questions? Here's how to apply!

1. send an email to libbyloucrew @ gmail . com
2. include your full name, username, and a list of current Creative Teams
3. tell me why you would like to be on my team
4. link me up to your most complete gallery
5. Show me your best layouts with my product
6. be sure to mention which of my products is your favorite

Deadline to apply is May 28. Successful applicants will be notified by June 1.

Sweet Shoppe Saturday 5/19

Happy Saturday!

We've had a couple of requests lately in the forum for a rainbow-colored kit to scrap your magical vacation memories, so I was excited to put together my newest kit called Be Our Guest! I hope you love it!

Remember, new releases are 20% off until Sunday morning, so grab it while it's on sale!

For the love of PURPLE!

Did you all survive the iNSD blow-out this past weekend?  It was definitely crazy, but I had a blast!  I actually got to shop AND scrap this weekend, so that was a great feeling!  The baby is keeping me on my toes lately, so anytime I can take a little break and do something just for fun, I fully appreciate it.  

I recently had a request for a couple of my glitter alphas to be made available in purple.  I'm always happy to oblige!  I was going to put them in my store, but I decided it's been far too long since I've had a freebie here on my blog.  So, click below to download these2 shimmery purple alphas absolutely free.  Both are saved in individual PNG files.

And while you're here... have you checked out my FB fan page? There's not a lot to look at right now, but I do have plans to spiffy it up and make it more exciting in the very new future!

So on to the freebies, huh?  This first set is an addition to my rainbow set of Shimmerbets available at Sweet Shoppe.

 The second one is a purple version of an old retired alpha that I used to have in my store.

That's it from me for this week!  I'm off to start thinking about a new kit... or 3.  ;)  Have a great week!

National Scrapbook Day

Happy iNSD!

You are in for a treat at Sweet Shoppe this weekend! With games, contests, and a storewide sale, there isn't a sweeter place in all of digi land!

First up, our entire store is 30% off now through Monday! That includes everything in my shoppe including my new releases!

Speaking of new releases, I have been looking forward to this collection for almost 2 years now, and I'm super excited to share it with you! My husband Jeff is an amazing artist, and I've always said that I wanted him to do some drawings for my kits. Well, I finally found the perfect inspiration piece (an outfit of Chloe's) and asked him if he could draw me some animals for a fun baby-animal kit. I hope you love it as much as we do!

Each product image is linked.







And if you just can't decide, you can grab all 3 at a huge discount!

Peek!

Hey there everyone!

Happy National Scrapbook Day Eve!  I'm so excited about my TWO kits that I did this week that I just had to pop in and show you a little peek!  My husband Jeff draw the animals in these kits, and I'm so proud of him that I have to show it off a little!





So check back when the shoppe goes live later tonight.  We've got big things in store for you!  

Sweet Shoppe Saturday 4/28

Happy Saturday!

Just a light week here this week as we gear up for next week's iNSD festivities! You'll definitely want to make plans to visit Sweet Shoppe next week as we have lots of big plans in the works!

For now though, check out my new glitter alpha!



And if you missed my set of quick pages last week when they were available as a free with purchase offer, you can now pick them up separately, too! This set of 4 quick pages was made using my If Everybody Had An Ocean kit.

New Bargain Bites

Just a heads-up that I have a couple of new products in the Bargain Bites section at Sweet Shoppe!  These are products that we change out at random and offer at a discount of 40% off for a limited time.  With baseball season upon us and so many people involved with A Week In The Life this week, I thought these 2 choices would be fun!  Enjoy!

Sweet Shoppe Saturday 4/21

Happy Saturday!!!

So, I have to tell you, this week's kit may very well be one of my top 3 favorite kits of all time. I absolutely love how it turned out, and I can't wait to share it with you!

AND this week, I've got a little special for you since I love this kit so much! If you purchase the kit between now and Friday (April 27), you'll also get the set of If Everybody Had An Ocean quick pages FREE!

Remember, new releases are 20% off Saturday only!






And look at these yummy sample layouts from my team and the Babes!

Did you know?

Did you know that we recently started doing Friday Night chats at Sweet Shoppe?  Nicole is there to host while we wait for the store to go live, so it's sure to be a good time.  Each week, she will have a few prizes to give away, too, so it's totally worth checking out!  Just go to Sweet Shoppe at 9pm EST tonight, click on the chat link at the top of the page, and join in the fun! 

Here's a peek of the kit I'll be giving away to one lucky winner this week!  This layout was done by Gemma using my new "If Everybody Had An Ocean" kit which will hit the shoppe later tonight!

A Little Creative Break

Well, I don't believe it myself, but I actually scrapped this past week! I've got to admit that it felt SO good. You know, there was a time before I was a designer when I was on so many teams as a paper scrapper that I was doing 30+ layouts a month. I can't even imagine that now. I hate to admit that these 3 pages are the first I've done since... gosh... before I got pregnant last year.

SO, I've decided that even though I have a million and one things on my "to do" list, I really need to make scrapping more of a priority. After all, I have this precious little baby who needs a book like her big sister, right?

Here are the 3 pages I did. You can click on each image to see full credits and to get a closer look. :)



This last page was super special for me because I got to use my new kit that I did with my buddy Chere Kaye. She just opened a new store over at One Story Down, so if you aren't familiar with her work, be sure and check her out! :)

On that note, I'm off to get a little work done while Chloe naps. I hope to be back Saturday with a brand new kit to share!
