Design Team Call!!

Yes, I know it's what a lot of you have been waiting for - our very first DESIGN TEAM CALL!

Interested? Here's what you need to do...

Email the following to purplepumpkincrafts@hotmail.com

3 of your favourite layouts, cards or off the page projects, which show how you use handmade embellishments (especially our buttons).

A brief paragraph about yourself, including your name and address, details of any design teams you are on (or have previously been on) and a link to your blog.

Design team members will be appointed for a period of 6 months, and in that time you will receive plenty of product to work with. As a design team member you will be required to incorporate Purple Pumpkin embellishments on your projects where ever you can, and promote them on your blog. You will also be able to write blog posts on the PP blog to showcase your work.

International applicants are welcome to apply.

Applications will close on February 28th, and the Design Team will be announced on the blog in early March.

Good luck!
