I'm So So Sorry its taken me so long to make my decision on the new Design Team...
I can't believe how stressful its been....
How do you decide between so many talented crafters... and so many different styles and techniques!?!?
And then when there are past DT members and friends involved it just makes the whole thing completely impossible!
I've been going round in circles, and scratching my head... waking up in the wee small hours, and having another look through the entries...
feeling guilty for choosing one person over another... and then deciding to have both... then realising this might upset someone else so starting all over again....
ARRRGGGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!
honestly I've hated this..... what should be exciting has been a nightmare...
BUT!
The decision has been made...
no going back now....
Before I announce the new team...can I please thank EVERYONE who took the time to enter...if you have not been successful, please understand that this isn't a reflection of your work, or your ability... just that I can't choose you all!
I would like to invite the following people to join the Pollycraft Design Team....
Wow its glorious outside...what happened?? It was like the middle of winter yesterday!!
Anyhoo.... I just popped on to thank all you super talented ladies who applied for the DT!
oh boy am I going to have a stressful time making this decision... whenever I've done DT calls before I've had a team to help make the choice for me!! this ones down to ME .....yikes!!!
I've been having quick looks at the entries as they've been coming in... but I'm going to need the weekend to really go through all your blogs, and have a think about things...
I KNOW this isn't going to be easy...
right, I'm going to pop some shorts on my little buster, and show his chubby legs some sun... they may never see it again!!!
This has been a tricky thing for me to get my head round... I was torn between really wanting to hold on to my old team....and really wanting to see what other talent was out there...
So after ALOT of worrying, and freting, I decided the best, and fairest thing to do was to start afresh, but allow past DT members to enter...
Gives me chance to look at things from a fresh perspective...
Anyway....
You want to be a Pollycraft DT member... right?
so....what do you have to do?...
Easy Peasy...
Show me what you can do with my images!
make anything you like, using new, or old Pollycraft images, post it on your blog and leave me a link below, then I can come and have a look!
simples!
The deadline is in 2 weeks time on the 24th May...
What are you waiting for?
If you have any questions...please email me
paula@pollycraft.co.uk
Please only post to new creations...thanks!
looking forward to seeing what the response is like!
Okay, I'm REALLY annoyed I have to post this, as I wanted my DT call post to stay current, but I feel this HAS to be said...
If you are one of the unscrupulous people who are sharing Digital images via pinterest please be aware that almost all of the artists you are effectively stealing from have been made aware!
I know exactly who is stealing from me, and if I haven't contacted you already...expect to be hearing from me!
the worst part is that one of them is a regular commenter on this blog
and several of them have the 'stamp out digital theft' logo proudly displayed on their blogs!
I'm SO mad, I almost wish I hadn't reopened!

Please...everyone.... this is theft.... its not just the original uploaders that are infringing copyright, its all the repinners too.... check out this post on the 'stamp out' facebook page if you want to help stop this...
thanks so much for the lovely comments and emails after my previous post...
Its so lovely to hear from you all!
So.... I mentioned exciting news....
Can you guess what it is?
See the little banner in the sidebar ---------->
thats right!
I've reopened the shop!!
Pollycraft is back!!
Its been about 11 months now since I closed the doors...
when I made the decision it was the right thing to do at the time...
but as soon as I'd announced it I was questioning myself...
Since things started to calm down here...I've had more time to think about things, and I realised how much I've missed it... and to be honest, how much I needed to do something that made me, well....ME!!
