Also when doing my blog I'll get my (A* in english) son to proof read it as I can get carried away with my ramblings! <br />Might ask one of your team for advice as well, she knows who she is,(so I'm coming after you)all input will be welcomed to help me make sure its what and who I want to be designing for, as there would be no point waisting your time or mine. <br />Even if I don't apply or if I do and don't get accepted, I'll live, it will be a learning curve and I'll be ready to fight another DT battle lol.<br />All the best to all who apply might see you here one day xxxxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06845217432393108460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8433133502531271583.post-45655274604828334632012-08-27T21:43:54.280+01:002012-08-27T21:43:54.280+01:00Wow Sarah, I found this post by bloghopping (as yo...Wow Sarah, I found this post by bloghopping (as you do) - and thoroughly glad that I ended up here.<br /><br />Your tips are really excellent advice for anyone looking to be on a DT. I was on a DT but was ill at the time, and I underestimated just how ill I was - and the demand at the time on me, and the need to do my own personal cardmaking just became too great. It was such a relief to leave in the end and the pressure completely lifted from my shoulders.<br /><br />One thing that I find when I blog hop is the really bad use of the English language, terrible spelling and just overall badly written blog posts. I may be on my own here, but I find myself 'proof reading' posts as soon as I spot the first couple of errors. I find it really off putting. Other than that, I want to be completely inspired when I read what can be done with a product and to enjoy creating what you do is clearly evident in the project being shown.<br /><br />Thank you once again for such an interesting post.<br /><br />Paula.xxxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03294286444278595836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8433133502531271583.post-9856671961284536132012-06-25T19:27:50.240+01:002012-06-25T19:27:50.240+01:00This is excellent advice!

It's so hard as a company to find the right people who will compliment your product with their craft designs but also work well together in the background. I'm really lucky my DT members work really well together. They understand when I'm stressed getting new products ready for launch etc that they are my rock to keep me grounded and on target. My DT are not just crafters who create items on demand they are my friends and supporters as well. Good luck to everyone who wants to join a DT I hope you find just the right one for you.<br />Anice xxAnicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08230617965090044244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8433133502531271583.post-21075865600811045242011-08-28T17:44:10.509+01:002011-08-28T17:44:10.509+01:00This is some awesome advice!

I've not had the guts to try out for design teams yet (well, I did one but it was within 3 months after I started scrapping...a little too ambitious at that time, because I hadn't even developed a style yet.) Now that I have I don't want to be rejected for it! lol No but really, I love the fact that you included to stay true to your style. I've been on the fence with mine because sometimes I think it may be too off the wall for some people's liking! Then I remembered why I started scrapping in the first place...to find personal freedom in creating...personal freedom...so its ok if nobody else likes it, I have fun and thats all that matters! So anyway, thanks for the great tips...not only for dt apps but also for encouraging people to stay true to themselves!mistyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10508471750594802017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8433133502531271583.post-70965299669874464472011-08-28T17:28:43.315+01:002011-08-28T17:28:43.315+01:00Some very good points there Sarah.

Too much or too little is just going to make the company think you are not capable of following instruction. I'm doing my next dt call in a different way next time to avoid just exactly that problem. Good luck finding the right people for your team.Kerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07376961677961706881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8433133502531271583.post-43460813431766152792011-08-28T17:26:29.857+01:002011-08-28T17:26:29.857+01:00Great post Sarah, I've been in a few DT and to...Great post Sarah, I've been in a few DT and totally empathise where you're coming from and your tips are great ! :) I've plus oned your post, facebooked and twittered it ! :) (There's also DT fatigue which happens after six months ... wink )Fabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06100883343109477491noreply@blogger.com
