Hi Michelle!!
Such a shame you're not accepting international entries! I would love to be on your DT! Why not ask international scrapbookers to pay the shipping costs themselves (or half of it....).
Maybe next time??? Good luck and I'm sure you'll find a wonderful team (as always).

[Melina]

looking forward to seeing the entries

[jennifermarie93]

Exactly my thought Monique, I bet there are very talented European (Dutch!!) girls who would be willing to pay the shipping costs. It's such fun to be on your team (can't you tell.... Mo and I really want in!! LOL!!)

[oceanlover]

Good luck everyone!!! I hope lots of you apply!!

[taryngirl]

I was so excited when I saw this call posted!

[Mrs. Daisy]

The cost of international shipping is not really the factor we consider for international DT applications (because we would just offer it with an offset for the additional shipping cost). It is the shipping time to get the kits to international locations.

We are trying out Canadian applications this time, (it takes longer for those too since we ship 1st Class instead of Priority). We'll see how it goes for those, and then see what we can do in the future.

Can't wait to see which new faces will be on the CMD team!! Good luck to you all!!!!
