Rusty Pickle

Rusty Pickle's New Design Team

After much voting and deliberation over all the fantastic projects created in the last couple of weeks, we finally have chosen the six new members of our design team. Congratulations to:

Beth Root

Cathleen Smith

Dawn Gallop

Julie Hill

Julie Walton

Pamela Young

It was a very, very close vote.  So close that we have decided to give the six who didn't make it a chance to make the team through publications.  More information on that will be e-mailed to the contestants later today.  You should all be proud of the stellar work you have created - you are all amazing!

2009 Amazing Race Finalists!

We have poured over your submissions.  We have agonized over the decision all week. We had the hardest time narrowing it down to 10 finalists, so we decided to include 12 finalists instead.  We hope you don’t mind ;).  So without further ado, the 12 ladies we would like to invite to take part in our Amazing Race are (in alphabetical order by first name): 

Beth Root

Cathleen Smith

Dawn Gallop

Jodi Ethington

Julie Hill

Julie Walton

Kristi Egle

Mandie Dillard

Noeleen Acosta

Pamela Young

Sarah Carrington

Tiff Sawyer

We would like to thank everyone who submitted to our design team call.  The entries were phenomenal and so very hard to choose from. 

We will be sending an e-mail to each finalist later today with directions on what to expect in the next step, the Amazing Race!  Congratulations and good luck! 

Check back soon for a look at our finalists’ entries and for more details on our Amazing Race!

Design Team Call Update

We have made just one change in the way we would like you to submit your entries.  We have had a lot of questions regarding combining 6 images into one for the mini-album, so we decided to make things easier on everyone!  The following should be submitted:

1 image of your 2-page layout

1 image of your altered project

6 different images of your mini album

Each image should not exceed 500K.  All 8 images should all be included in ONE email with your name in the subject line.  Submit your entries to [email protected].  The  deadline for entry remains the same - Sunday May 31st at 12 noon Mountain Standard time.

Just a reminder - the mini album must be 8x8 or smaller and contain at least 6 finished pages.  Projects must contain 100% Rusty Pickle product to qualify.  (You may use paint, ink, thread, pens, cardstock, etc. Just make sure if RP makes a version of something, you use that. For example, Rusty Pickle makes bling, so use that instead of another manufacturer's. Rusty Pickle does not manufacture paint, glimmer mist, ink, thread, pens, etc. so you are okay to use those items on your projects.)

Hope that clears up some confusion!  Please let us know if you have any further questions.  We can't wait to see your entries!

RUSTY PICKLE DESIGN TEAM CALL!

Good news!  Rusty Pickle is looking to expand our elite design team!  Ten finalists will be chosen to run an "amazing race" where their talent (and ability to function on minimal sleep ;)) will be put to the test.  Of these ten finalists, five will be chosen to join the Rusty Pickle team.

The deadline for entry is Sunday May 31st at 12 noon Mountain Standard time. Please submit the following 3 projects for consideration: (1) 2-page 12x12 layout, an altered project and a mini album 8x8 or smaller with at least 6 pages.  Projects must contain 100% Rusty Pickle product to qualify.  Email all entries to: [email protected].

Please limit one email per contestant with 1 project image of the layout, 1 project image of the altered project and six images of the album. Each image is to be no more than 500K in size.  In the subject line put only your name. 

The ten finalists will be announced Friday, June 5th at 12 noon.  

Thank you and good luck!

*Clarification on the 100% Rusty Pickle Product requirement* You can use paint, ink, thread, pens, cardstock, etc. Just make sure if RP makes a version of something, you use that. For example, Rusty Pickle makes bling, so use that instead of another manufacturer's. Rusty Pickle does not manufacture paint, glimmer mist, ink, thread, pens, etc. so you are okay to use those items on your projects.

P.S. Don't forget that Lance has a blog, too, and is holding his very own giveaway! Be sure to tell him we said hello!

THE FINE PRINT: Winners will need to email [email protected] in order to confirm their prize as well as submit their mailing address. In the past, we have asked entrants to wait until shipments arrive to our warehouse before they were sent out to winners. However, due to your feedback, we have decided to only offer giveaways this week that are already at the warehouse- which means that these items will be available to ship as soon as we return back from CHA.  Therefore, winners should allow for approximately 4 weeks for their prizes to arrive.  We thank you for your patience.  If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us via the blog's email address.
