Hi Friends!
I hope you all had a fantastic holiday weekend!
I am so excited to be posting this morning, but also sad - it's bittersweet.
Today we're introducing you to our new Design Team!
Today we're introducing you to our new Design Team!
But before I get to that, I want to take a moment to once again thank my Team A Designers for all their creativity and support they've provided us and The Paper Variety for the past 6+ months. April and Yara have been with TPV since day one, almost a year ago, and it's so difficult to see them and the others leave us. These 6 beautifully talented artists have amazed Suzanne and I with their lovely paper crafts and overall dedication in making TPV what it is today. These are wonderful women, inside and out, and I know they will all continue to inspire the paper crafts world with their wide range of talents. I wish each and every one all the very best in everything they do. I also thank Lisa Wilkinson, who had to leave us mid-term for all her contributions to TPV as well. Please take a moment to join me in expressing well wishes for our departing Team A.
(pssst - anyone have a tissue? *sniff sniff*)
And now.. our big announcement!!
Our new Design Team for
July through December!
We received almost 50 DT apps during our last call, the most apps we've ever gotten! Suzanne and I were just in awe at all the fabulous talent out there and humbled that all those wonderful artists desired to be a part of TPV. Our hearts were very happy.
But.. choosing just TEN of them was torture!
Our decisions were based on variety- we chose designers of different experience levels and paper crafting styles. Several of them being newly introduced to the paper crafting challenge community as this is their first design team gig - Yay! :) We believe we've chosen ten ladies who will best represent The Paper Variety and who will surely inspire our diverse blog readers. We're so thrilled to introduce you to them today!!
