Hi Bean Stalkers!!!
I know many of you are waiting for these instructions! I’ve researched and researched and started putting together a formal call announcement…that just wasn’t working for me.
Here’s what I think…
* Are you fun? Are you innovative?
* Are you low-maintenance? I’m not up for crazy people that cause a stir. 😉
* Do you have a passion for paper crafting?
* Are you a blog savvy? If not, are you a quick learner?
* Do you like free product?
* Do you submit to publications?
* Do you like JB Soup products (this is a given)?
* Do you think you would be a good fit for our company?
* Are you a good photographer?
*If you said “yes” to all of these…then I invite you to apply for our design team!!!
The jist…
We are looking for 5-6 individuals to represent Jillibean Soup. We are looking for people to support our new blog. You will be expected to post 2 layouts, 2 cards and 1 project per month with instructions/descriptions for new ideas/tips. You will be the bulk of the blog and represent Jillibean Soup. You are also expected to say nice things about Jillibean Soup and it’s owner!
The details…
The term will be for 6 months starting on March 15th, 2009.
Applicants must be at least 18 years of age.
Applications are open to everyone. International applicants are welcome!
Previous Design Team experience is not required.
Now…where do I apply?
Please send pics of 2 layouts, 2 cards and 1 project to jillibeandesignteam@yahoo.com. (Remember to keep them small).
Tell me about yourself. When you started scrapbooking. If you’re on another design team. What’s your favorite paper crafting supply? Just anything and everything about your paper crafting history. I also want to know where you live and what makes you happy. Not a book…just the basics.
Submissions are being accepted from now until Sat, Feb 28th, 2009! Get on it girls!
Good Luck!
The Soup Bowl 
how exciting!!
Hey Jill!
I’m sure many are going to want to know if they have to use jillibean soup products in their DT entry, or can they simply send you samples of their ‘best’ work?
I can’t wait to see the great entries!!! Bring it on ladies!
-kimber
Oooh, I LOVE your stuff. I just haven’t been able to get my hands on any of it yet! What a great and fun opportunity! Good luck to all that apply!
Hey Ladies,
You do not have to use JB Soup product in your entries…just send your “best” work. I know that JB Soup is just hitting the market in many areas…if you are able to use it – that’s great!
Thanks!
Jill
Me again…I’m sure another question will come up. Yes, you will be compensated for published submissions. This will be in the formal contract that’s offered the DT members at the end of the call.
Thanks!
Oh how fun!! What a great opportunity for the new 5-6 designers!! The new lines are fabulous!
I am so excited about this opportunity! I am getting my submissions together! I am also trying to get a store I work with to pick up this line!!!! We need it around here for a breath of fresh air!
Good luck to everyone!
If you’re looking to get your mitts on some Jillibean goodness, be sure to drop by Kimber’s blog and my blog. We are both giving away some goodies. My LSS was fortunate enough to get JBS last week. I will be mailing out my winner’s package on Saturday, right after they are picked…as long as I can get their mailing address from them quickly.
Off to mark on my calendar how many more sleeps till the 28th!
YAY!! What a great opportunity to work with yummy products! Good luck to everyone! 🙂
Are you ready to be flooded with entries?!?! I am so excited about this!
I am so excited about this! Hopefully it’s a good sign that the deadline is on my birthday. Although you don’t know me and really aren’t required to provide me with a gift on my birthday. (Or shortly after once all entries have been narrowed down and contracts mailed and the announcement made). Although don’t we all know each other in blog land? So really if you felt so inclined to provide me with a gift on my birthday I would absolutely do the right thing and accept. You know, if you felt so inclined 🙂
Did I mention that I’m funny?
On a serious note, good luck and have fun during the selection process!
Too fun, what a great opportunity to work with such fun products!!
Love, love, love all your adorable stuff! I am looking forward to getting some as soon as it hits the stores here.
How very exciting!!! Good luck to everyone who applies!
I am still stalking to find these papers! In any case, this would be a great team to be on…the products are fabulous!
So excited!!
This would be such an amazing opportunity! Good luck everyone!
If y’all are looking for some fun JilliBean Soup, Lisa at Create My Keepsake just posted some today in her store! 🙂 http://www.createmykeepsake.com I hope that is okay to post here to help people find it! Blessings!

Tracy 🙂
The very best of luck to everyone who applies 🙂
It would be so fun to work with your products!!!
I would have loved to apply, but I am more digi than paper. BUT, I did make a card for hubby for valentine using some of the papers you very kindly gave to me at CHA – he was very impressed with it. Thank you!

Love your products! What a great opportunity!! Good luck everyone!

Hi Jill:
I just saw your new line at the scrapbook store at the outlets in Lodi. I’d just seen the previews at B&B scrapbooks in Powell. The new line looks great. I’ll send some projects to your email address.
Loretta
Oh my! How exciting! I was planning to head to SB Art tonight or tomorrow for some new jillibean goodness anyway…so I guess this gives me a reason to buy MORE 🙂
I can’t wait to send somethings in and to see what amazing designers you find.
I can definitely answer yes to all the questions. May give it a shot.
OMGosh, there are some amazing Ladies trying out! I am so glad that I didn’t read the comments until after I submited…… good luck everyone
Are ATC cards acceptable as the card submissions?
Love your products.. I just got my LSS to place an order! I am so going to submit to the DT call too! I found your site by accident and fell in love with the lines. Great designs!
I submitted mine last night at midnight. I totally thought the deadline was yesterday. What a ditz, huh? I guess it is better to be early than late. I do wish my LSS had gotten the papers in before I did everything. I love the paper and can’t wait for it to come in whether I make the team or not. Thanks for the opportunity and good luck to all who submit. I can’t wait to see all of the designs!
Thanks for posting this. I am throwing my hat in the ring and would love to be considered. My LSS is going out of business 😦 so I’m definitely looking online for great sources and you definitely qualify!
Am so excited! Submitting mine tonight. Good Luck all!
What a wonderful opportunity! Your papers are fabulous and I can’t wait to see what the stamps will look like!
Are we able to publish our submissions on our blogs?
Good Luck with deciding.
Sounds like you were flooded with entries.
Nicole
What a great opportunity to work with a fab new company. Good luck to all who applied 🙂
OKAY!!!! I just sent mine off! I hope I am not too late! It’s still the 28th! LOL!!!
Good luck to everyone who gave it a shot! I wouldn’t want to be the one deciding with all the talent out there!
Darn – I missed it! I just saw your products at “A Cherry on Top” and decided to look you up!
