Work in Progress Design Team Call!!

*******************************************************************************************
Work in Progress Kits is a monthly scrapbooking kit club and we are looking for at
least 2 new designers for our team. We are looking for designers that can create
pages using not only traditionally not-matching kits, but also projects and altered
items as well. Are you that person who can think outside the box? We will be taking
submissions from now until Tuesday, July 1st, 2008 and the winners will be
announced Monday, July 7, 2008.

As our designer, you will be asked to:

 1. Provide quality scans/photographs of 4-5 projects a month using (but not
limited to) our kit. The work has to include a title, journaling, and not just single
photo layouts—I’m looking for a variety of work that showcases your style.
 2. Provide tips along with detail shots of the projects for our website & blog.
 3. I feel strongly that the WIP blog represents not only the kits, but me personally.
That being said, I expect the design team member to post twice monthly on
scrapbooking techniques or layouts (in addition to the ones they submit monthly). I
do not –nor will I ever--require any participation on any Work in Progress message
board and want to keep it sweet and simple without designers feeling obligated to
participate and talk about unrelated stuff.
 4. Help promote Work in Progress Kits on other message boards.
 5. Design for Work in Progress on a 6-month term, beginning on July 7th, 2008
(with the August kit.)
 6. Provide a link to WIP kits and the WIP blog on your blog.


All projects made with the kit are yours to keep, and when used in the newsletter or
on the website, you will be given full credit. As our designer, you can also submit
your own work for publication after 1 month of debut of the kit, as long as you give
Work in Progress Kits proper credit. Your compensation will be a free monthly kit
along with no shipping charge!

To apply, please email Trish at Turay413@gmail.com the following::

 1. 3 recent layouts (12 x 12, 8 1/2 x 11, doesn’t matter). I have to be really honest
here—I am looking for not only detailed work, but work that is also heartfelt. Titles
and journaling should exist. Really tell me who you are through your work. Please
submit pages that don’t all contain one photograph—I’d like to see a variety in your
presentation. Please only submit your original work!
 2. An altered item you created & designed
 3. A card you created & designed
 4. A mini book you created & designed
 5. Link to your online gallery, blog (a blog is a requirement to be on our team) and
scrapbook resume. Please also list what current design teams you are on, along
with any other commitments you may have.
 6. Your full contact information: name, address, phone number, email address.
 7. A short paragraph or two of why you want to be one of our designers. Describe
your style, who and what inspires you, and your passions outside of your family and
this hobby.
 8. Being a current customer is always a bonus, but not a requirement to apply.
 9. If there are any other reasons I should consider you as a DT member, please
list them! If you do sketches, have a certain talent for cards, belong to 12 message
boards, design original stamps, sing your own praises!! I won’t know unless you
tell me, so stick your neck out and brag about your strengths and hidden talents.
10. Being published doesn’t really hold any weight with my decision. This isn’t to
offend anyone who has been or will be pubbed—it is simply to encourage those of
you out there who think they’re not good enough to indeed apply. I go with my gut,
and I know what I’m looking for, so don’t be discouraged.

** When sending us your projects, please send us your best work. This can be
posted online; we just want to see your best stuff! (File size not exceeding more
than 200kb, please!)


I will be looking for at least 2 designers, possibly more at this time, for a 6 month
term. I really look forward to seeing what you guys come up with!! It is an exciting
time...
