Layouts must be uploaded to our gallery no later than midnight (my local time) on the 31st of August to be eligible for one of our monthly prizes.

Please remember to tag your layout with 001 when uploading to help speed up album sorting.

I can't wait to see what you all create!

August Sponsors

We have some fantastic sponsors lined up this month! I cannot thank them enough for joining us in our relaunch.

Our August Sponsors are:

1st place - Providing a $25 voucher
Chook Scraps

2nd place - Proving a $15 voucher
Wicked Princesses

3rd place - Providing a $10 voucher

Our New CT Members

We had a great response to our CT call and even though I only advertised for 2-3 new members, I ended up narrowing it down 4.

So those joining our continuing members are:

Kelley Forrester
Mindy Miller
Sandie McCarthy-Roberts
Sarah Webb

For more info on all our CT members, check out the Creative Team tab at the top of the page and watch out as they all share more of their scrapping starting with our August sketches.

Continuing On

As some of you are aware, we used to run Stuck?! sketches through a normal blog site. We had a rocking CT and a few of them decided to continue on with us.

They are:

Charmane Koch
Jody Urquhart
Tam Wade

As for the newbies joining them, check back shortly.

CT Call Finished

Our CT call has now finished. Thank you to everyone who submitted their work for consideration.

Decisions will be made in the next few days and all applicants will be contacted.

Stay tuned for our new CT announcement on the 25th.

Sneaky Peaky

Thanks for the girls who left comments on our previous post.

Only the weekend left to get your entries in for the CT Call. All entries must be received by midnight Tuesday!

Secondly, please remember to stick to the CT call guidelines if you plan on applying. Layouts are not to be shared either in the gallery here or any other gallery / blog until after the call has closed.

And don't forget our photo / gallery guidelines as well, which can be found here - http://stucksketches.ning.com/page/photos-guidelines

Now onto something fun! I promised you all a sneaky peaky if there were enough of you who commented on my previous post. Now I didn't get as many as I wanted :(, but I feel like a big old meany if I don't share, so I am sharing a small snippet of the sketch and my sample with you.

Leave us a comment and tell us what you think!

Getting excited?

So who else is getting excited??

There is just one week left to get your applications in for the CT call. Just a reminder that it is only 2 layouts per month. Sketches are sent early in the month and you have the whole month to work on them.

If you are planning on applying, please don't post your app sketch layouts to the gallery until the call has closed.

Secondly, there is just over 2 weeks to go until we launch our August 1st sketch. We have some great sponsors lined up and our CT are busy working away on their samples.

Who wants a little sneaky peak of things to come?? If I get enough comments on this post by Friday, I will post a sneak of our August 1st sketch.

Unable to enter?

Are you unable to enter our CT call at this time?? Don't let that stop you from giving our application sketch a go anyway.

Why not give it a go and post it to the gallery for all of us to see?

Consider it a warm up for our relaunch.

We have moved!

We have moved to a new home!

http://stucksketches.ning.com/

Check out the new site for some exciting news.

We can't relaunch without a rocking CT now can we.

I'm looking for two to three creative team members to join some of our existing members.

Requirements:

Please read these carefully, I can not consider any applications that are missing information/requirements.

1. Create a layout based on the following sketch. Individual interpretation is encouraged but the sketch must still be recognisable.
2. Create 2 new and previously unshared layouts. Theme is up to you.
3. Also e-mail me the following:
a. full name
b. blog link
c. resume if you have one. If you don't just let me know any prior or current or previous DT work/DTs that you are on and publications
d. a short bio
e. a few short sentences about why you want to be on the CT

All entries must be 12 x 12 or 8.5 x 11. Please keep file sizes under 100kb.

Entries are to be emailed to stucksketches@optusnet.com.au. Please put STUCK?! CREATIVE TEAM APPLICATION in the subject line.

Entries must be received by midnight EST on July 21st. The Creative Team will be contacted by July 25th and will be announced on July 26th.

Expectations:
*Each CT member will be required to submit 2 LOs per month. Each fortnight I will send you a new sketch and it will be due the following fortnight.
* CT members are expected to remain exclusive to Stuck?! Sketches for their CT period. We are not able to accept applicants who are current CT members for other sketch blogs / sites.
* Positions will be held for a six month period and members will be required to reapply at the end of the six months to continue on.
*CT members should use the Stuck?! blinkie and promote Stuck?! where ever and when ever possible! I want each CT member to be proud to be a member and to spread the word around!!!

International scrappers may apply.

If you have any questions, please email them to me and I will answer them as soon as I can.

Can't wait to see the entries out there.

Relaunch

Stuck?! Sketches will be relaunching as of 1st August 2009.

We are changing things up a little bit, most noticeably, we will now be a fortnightly challenge site instead of weekly.

Check back over the coming days and weeks as we reveal our CT and maybe a pre-launch sketch or two.
