2 is better than one: patterned papers & ribbon: paislee press & one little bird (storyteller and book of first kits); number tag: ormolu
Two things. Both of them related to this page.
1. DIGITAL KITS: I have been working hard this past week on getting some of my retired tag sets into digital sets. I am working on the final bits and pieces of putting the new digital kits into the shop next week. Because I am mostly a paper person I have compiled each kit with a printable as well as the PNG files. You'll want to check them out when I release them because I am going to release them at a really awesome price (because this is my first big digital hoo-ha) but only for a limited time (which I haven't decided on yet).
2. CREATIVE TEAM CALL: Also, after much thought and contemplation I am thinking about doing a creative team call. I know, that sounds like I am still thinking about it- cause I am. So if anybody has any thoughts on this please, please let me know what you think. This is something I have thought about over the last year or two but I just never have committed. I hope that having a creative team will help demonstrate uses for product better. I also hope that it will give my blog and website some extra *oomph*. What I am worried about is that I say, "Hey, I am having a creative team/ design team call- come apply!" and then zero, nothing, nada...zilch. Then I would feel like I was spot on with all the contemplation. But life is about taking chances, right? AND if this is the biggest chance I take this year- I am doing alright. So, I am still working out the details but look for a post to come... sometime in April. THEN please apply...and tell all your friends to apply- because if nobody applies I will have to go begging people on the street- and I don't look good begging.
More about the digital stuff though- I have not delved in very deep into the digital world myself- but I know there are some truly amazingly talented designers out there... and quite honestly I give them my money- and I don't even scrapbook digitally really! But they have such fun kits and it's kinda fun to scroll through them on my computer :) Really though, I use a lot of them for random projects- like framing cute little pictures and making little bookmarks for my daughter. So I decided as I was clearing out my files on my computer, backing them up and storing them away...never to be seen again- that I was not quite ready to part with some of my retired tags. So, I made them into digital versions so they can be used again and again by all. The page I did above shows one of the number tags- which will be great to have digital because it's something so versatile. A lot of the other designs I am releasing as digital have been purchased for weddings or parties. Printable tags for these occasions are great because you can print out how many you need and pay a low price.
Oh gosh. I'd apply to be on your DT in a heartbeat. Your tags made my December Daily ( what I did actually finish ;p) so much easier.You can check out my blog for examples around those DD dates.
I love your stuff. I say definitely go for it... you will have a ton of applications. :)

I love your stuff and I would deff. apply. Do I have to tell others, I might not get picked. lol. Such a cute page :)
Posted by: Patty | March 19, 2011 at 08:31 AM
Two things I said when I saw this page: 1)"Wow, I just love this layout! So cute!", then 2)"Me, me, me!!! I want to apply!!!" I bet I am not the only one who absolutely adores your paper goodies, and anyone who loves to scrapbook will also love your digi ones, too (I do both). You have created so many pretty things that are fun to use and versatile, too;using your products always adds something special to my layouts. Feel the love, Kaitlin, feel the love!

I would totally apply to a team call as I am sure many others would too. I love your stuff. I only discovered you this last winter (via December Daily with Ali), so I don't have many projects with your products. You seem so personable and nice in your posts, so I am sure you would be fabulous to work with.
Posted by: Jules Hollis | March 20, 2011 at 08:36 PM
I also discovered you via Ali, but have just kept finding more and more to love since then. I am continually amazed at how much I use your products and how well they flow in with my style. So yes, in short, I would love to apply and think a DT would be a great way to promote the excellent work you are doing.

Oh gosh Melanie- Thank you so much! Please do apply :)

Thank you so much Michele! I am liking the digital layouts I have done as well. I seem to learn a little more with each layout I do and it's a nice change to all paper layouts sometime. I hope to see your application in the mix when I do get all the information out for the call ;)

That is a great point- digital is really good for crops. Then you don't have to spread out...it's all right there at your fingertips. I hope you are enjoying your class from Ali. I took that class last year and although I admit I haven't completed most of it- it's nice because I know it's there when I am ready. Also, she has SO much stuff in her classes. It really is a great value- especially when you win a spot :)

Thank you so much Jules! I am so glad you found me- especially through Ali. She has such cool projects and I love sponsoring her site- she is such an inspiring person. I would love for you to apply!
