Market Street Stamps' Design Team Call + our NEW DT Coordinator!

Hey everyone! Angelica here with an EXCITING announcement and details on our second Design Team call! Everyone is encouraged to apply!

First, I am personally excited to announce Market Street Stamps has a NEW Design Team Coordinator - our very own Stephanie Washburn!! Stephanie has been helping so much behind the scenes and was a natural fit for this new role. She will be scheduling our new team, coordinating with other companies for co-hops and promos, and will continue to present the "Cream of the Crop" after each of our new releases!

A quick note from Stephanie:

"I'm so excited to accept this super important role as Design Team Coordinator! I can't wait to work more closely with all of the design team members and help in any way I can! Thanks again to Angelica and Jorge for providing me with this incredible opportunity!"

Please join me in congratulating Steph and welcoming her into her new role!

Up next is the part that is so bittersweet for us because I now truly consider each one of our current DT members as friends. Our first 6 months have been anything but EASY, but to say they weren't fun, exciting, and full of happy surprises couldn't be further from the truth. Each of these girls has done TREMENDOUS things for Market Street, and we appreciate every single one them! 

That being said, it is time to put together our next Design Team and we'd just love it if you applied and joined our happy stampin' family. Although we've supplied a very full description of what we're looking for in our DT members, if you have any questions, or just want more info on any of the requirements, please feel to email us using the email address provided at the bottom of this post.
