Having retired from my job as an Infant School teacher, I now have lots more time to craft, my favourite hobby! Having benefited from the inspiration of others, I would love to be part of your Design Team to share my ideas with others crafters. Liz x

I saw a message on twitter about this so i thought i'd pop over and read this post.... Thanks for the challenge which i loved because i just love the warm colours of Autumn... I would love the chance to be on your team and showcase your products for you and as a crafter who dabbles in lots different crafts means i go through lots of card and papers on daily basis so if i was chosen your products would always be showcased on my blog by telling crafters about the fantastic quality of your card stock and hopefully inspire them at the same time!! I don't have one particular style of card i make because i think it all comes down to what the occasion and image you are using lends itself too, if you like to look at my blog it will show you all the styles of cards i do... Thanks for giving us a chance at this great opportunity!! *all fingers crossed* hugs and xxx Gemma

I see this as a fantastic opportunity and would be thrilled to create things with you. From cards to altered bottles I love art and continue to enjoy being inspired by all things out there.

I would love the chance to be part of such a fab design team and the opportunity to play with more of your amazing paper! I love making cards, scrapbooking and creating home decor as well as gifts.

Thank you so much for the opportunity to join you guys as part of your Design Team - I am super excited! I have used Paper Mill Direct card for as long as I can remember and although I miss the days of picking out the individual sheets of card in your shops (which I loved!), I still enjoy being able to do it online :) I would love the chance to showcase all of your fabulous products through my blog as I find you paper and card to be of the best quality around. I adore all things card! :) I have linked up my entry for your challenge and I sit with baited breath to find out who the lucky winner is! Thank you again for this opportunity and for providing such great products! Sian ;)

I have recently submitted my entry for the design team challenge. It was great fun to work with all the autumnal colours, particularly the colouring in :-D I love paper crafting and try to make cards using just paper and card. Techniques such as iris folding, flower making etc.. This is where great card and paper stock are very important, and papermilldirect offer up to date seasonal colours, plus the good old favourites. I would love the opportunity of being part of such a talented design team, as I think as crafters we are always learning and it is good to work with and share our talents with each other. It has even inspired me on to start my own blog. ( only a week old) I love to help people develop their creativity and think this would be a fabulous opportunity to do just that. Thank you for making this opportunity avsilable and good luck to everyone who has entered. Each card is gorgeous.

I have added my submission for the Design Team call and have blogged, twitter and facebook about it as well. I would love to become part of your design team and I love your products, I have boxes and boxes of your card and visited every month your papermill shop in burnside before it closed. :-( I now frequently visit your online store, and will be visiting the store in Kendal at the end of the month who is now stocking your card :-) I believe in working with only quality products and this is the reason why i will only use your card, firstly it is always good strong quality, it never breaks its fibers when I am folding it in half or creating shapes with it, it cuts through die cuts like a dream as well with no shredding to the edges of the die, and most importantly for me when I fold your card in half it matches and is cut straight. I also enjoy sharing inspiration and helping other crafters with inspiration when it comes to my cards or scrapbook pages. I take part in blog hops, Facebook groups and promote design teams and challenges where ever possible. I am an active person on Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest along with many different forums. I have previous experience of working within design teams and always meet deadlines for challenges. I love your current Design Team and frequently visit their blogs and feel my style of crafting can fit right in with your current team. Thank you for the opportunity of becoming a DT member, and thank you for taking the time to read this post and look at my blog. Good Luck in the hunt for your new DT member. :-) Crafty Hugs Kelly xxx

I am applying to be on your design team with a shadow box that I have created. Although I do make cards too, I just wanted to show how versatile your cardstock can be and that it can be used for more than cards. My blog name is papercraftbliss so I think you can guess what my main hobby is :) Thanks for this opportunity and I hope to hear from you soon!

I have just submitted my Autumn leaves card for the DT challenge. I would love to be part of the DT for Papermill Direct as the quality of the card and paper is second to none and it shows in the end result of card or crafting items that I have made. It is a joy to work with and the variety of colours and also value of money is exceptional. I love all crafting but especially paper crafting and do sell my handmade creations and I love to share them on my Facebook page. I also have a blog and Pinterest profile when I talk about all of my makes and bakes! https://www.facebook.com/ButterflyCrafts http://www.pinterest.com/butterflycrafts/ http://butterfly-craftsonline.blogspot.co.uk/

Hiya, I would love to be part of your team because I love your card, it is my go to card and to be able to share my makes with like minded crafters would be fantastic.

I would be thrilled and so very honoured to be chosen to join your very talented team of Designers. I am a fond lover and avid user of your cardstock and was so disappointed when the Papermill shop closed at York Designer Centre. What a blessing we can still get it online with such a wonderful service. Papercrafting is a fabulous hobby and one to be shared. As you will see from my Blog I like to experiment with different shapes and techniques in addition to the square cards. I am very flexible, have great team spirit and sense of humour and totally reliable. Thanks for the opportunity to enter. Judy x

Hi, you caught me on the hop with the Autumn DT call challenge, I am away at the moment (for three weeks) but didn't want to miss the chance to be considered for the DT post. I have entered a project created and blogged last week, hope this is OK? I would love to be considered for the DT post, I love working to deadlines, working with fellow DT members and visiting and making friends with the lovely ladies out in blogland. I have used your cards and papers for many years, visiting your mill shop before you had the outlets and I do like to point people in your direction when asked for a card supplier. I have two blogs if you would like to check them out http://designsforoccasions.blogspot.co.uk and my Twinchie Challenge blog http://twinchie-twinchiehotmaillive.blogspot.co.uk Regards Sylv xx

I have boxes of your card so thought I would enter your challenge. I know I've done leaves but I love the mix of bold colours and have kept the design simple. I would love to be on your Design Team and hopefully inspire others with my designs and your card! Thanks.

Would love to be a member of your Design team and share my card idea's and creations. I love the things you post on Facebook and to get the chance to inspire someone by being on your team would be fantastic.

I would love your be part of your design team as I really enjoy making things from paper as you will see if you go to my blog,and I am always ready and willing to make things.Since finding your site I must admit I am a real fan and can't believe how you can make such great quality paper yet charge so little(I'm not complaining though!)
