Moving into 2013...

Good Morning, Friends! It feels like forever since you've heard from me, and I can tell you, it's been a really tough year. We've gone through such a roller coaster in our household. Job changes, new pressures, routines, trying to manage a business and caring for two little preschoolers is, for lack of a better word - hard! However, we've accepted the challenges God has put in front of us and are excited to see His plan unfold.

We have some changes for Market Street Stamps, some of which will be revealed later this week, but our biggest, most important change is our Design Team. We absolutely adore our team members. Each are so insanely talented, and each has brought such a unique style to our team. As we close the 2012 season, we have decided to move forward with a new DT structure. Our illustrators will continue designing for their respective lines, and we will be asking individual designers and bloggers to guest post for a length of time next year. This will provide more opportunities to those wishing to serve on the team and I think will be a better model for our plans next year. {more to come}

Before I outline the details on that below, I'd like to just list our designers below and thank them for their incredible commitment, time, and creativity that they've lent us for the past year (and some, the last TWO years)! I have grown to adore these women, and feel extremely blessed and fortunate to know them. I know they each have such amazing gifts to offer and will do wonderful things:

Our new team structure moving forward will be similar to our guest posting we currently do. We will be reaching out to individual bloggers and designers for "featured posts" on their blog. 

If you're interested, here is what we're looking from our featured bloggers:

• An active blog
• Commitment of 2-3 featured posts featuring a tutorial and/or review on our stamps 
• Active in Social Media {Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, or Instagram}
• Link to your online galleries 

What will you receive?

• Dedicated 48 hrs for your post/project on our blog
• Marketing of your posts on our Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and Instagram accounts 
• Free stamps! We will send stamp sets to coordinate your project and/or review with.
• Access to a Designer Facebook group

Please send a short bio, photo, links to your online galleries, and why you'd like to be a featured blogger to angelica {at} marketstreetstamps {dot} com. edit: please use "Featured Blogger 2013" as your subject so it doesn't accidentally get sent to junk mail! Thanks! :)

We will begin scheduling bloggers after the Christmas holiday and look forward to hearing from you!

I'd like to once again, thank our lovely ladies who have served on this team for the year. They've truly left an imprint on my heart with their dedication, faith in MSS, and friendship. xo Angelica
