ANNOUNCEMENT:

We're looking for several talented designers to join our team. If you enjoy making projects that sparkle and can capture the sparkle in a photograph, please apply today!

ABOUT OUR TEAM:

Our team offers designers a lot of flexibility. There are no vendor restrictions at this time, so designers are free to include any stamps, paper, embellishments, etc. from any other vendor. We're also flexible on project type. You can create cards, scrapbook layouts, jewelry, painting, 3-D/home decor item, etc.... as long as Shimmerz is used and is visible on the project.

Thanks for stopping by today. It is FREEZING cold here today. Current conditions say -14 with a windchill of -30. YUCK! I hate cold weather! Every school around is closed! Unfortunately the kids have haircut appointments later this morning. I would cancel but it is so hard to get in with their stylist. Hopefully after that I will get lots of stamping time in this afternoon! Hope you all have a warm and cozy day!
