My favorite time of year! 

We are doing a few things different than we did last year..... 

Instead of the 25 days of Christmas from December 1-25, we ALWAYS like to stay ahead so that you have plenty of time to make your crafts.... so we have started today November 12th. There will be a ton of inspiration and a few of last year's amazing projects, we just might dig them up again for you because they were that great! 

This also is the time of year for our seasonal design team.... 

This is for December 1-31, 2012 

This is not for a permanent place on our design team. This is just to help out our design team who works so hard to create and share with you all year long. We give them time off so they can craft for their homes, families and friends, and just enjoy a little R & R. 

But we want to keep giving you a ton of inspiration. 

So this term is ONLY from December 1-31, 2012.

 It is similar to a guest designer, but for a month rather than just one day. 

So applications are accepted today through Sunday November 25, 11:59pm EST.

The Seasonal team will be announced Tuesday November 27, 2012 at Noon EST

To apply please email your application to EricasTeam@aol.com 

with the subject line Seasonal DT Application 

Please email me ONE project you have made with your cricut.

Also include your name, facebook name, email address and blog address. 

Beginners are VERY VERY welcome. All I ask for beginner and advanced talent, is that when you post try to give as many instructions as possible. 

You MUST use cricut cartridges, no SVGs and no Digi-stamps. 

During this time there should be NO solicitation for sales of ANY kind. 

This is just to showcase your talent and blog.

You will be posting at least one project a week during December, you may post more if you would like.

You will also need to participate in our 100 Cricut cartridge blog hop the first full weekend of each month. You will get a blinkie for your blog and your blinkie (if you have one) will go on my blog here. The group of ladies are so great, talented and helpful.

I am looking for a few beginners, a few intermediate and a few highly talented people. The main thing that I am looking for is for you to show your work and give a detailed description so anyone can replicate your project no matter how simple or advanced your project is.

The general rules of my blog and facebook are to share in a positive way. We promote the use of Cricut cartridges and no SVG images. I also like you to use actual stamps and not digi stamps. I am on Getting Cricky's design team, so I urge the use of actual stamps instead of digi stamps.

To apply please email me EricaCraftRoom@aol.com  

Please put the subject DESIGN TEAM CALL if you do not put that as the subject I will probably miss it.

1. Please include:

1. Your name

2. What country you live in

3. Blog address (you have to have a blog, feel free to create one)

4. A link to your favorite project you have made
