For example, if you don't have access to newer Doodlebug products, then show us what you can do with products from Pebbles, Echo Park, My Little Shoebox or Bella Blvd (or others, you get the point). However, we will give more attention to those using current DOODLEBUG products. We want to see how you work with COLOR and OUR PRODUCTS! ***Scan/photograph and send us one of each of the following: 1-2 Layout, 1-2 Cards and a mini book OR altered item. That's only three total looks, so be sure to send us your strongest creations!!
4. What do you consider your specialty (layouts, cards, altered projects)? 
5. Did you know Doodlebug licenses their designs for fabric, so we're always curious who can sew (because we all don't)? 
6. Tell us about the CRAFTY you...Link to your scrapbook resume if you have one? Do you teach? Have you been published? Do you or have you ever worked at a craft store? 
7. What other Design Teams are you part of and when does their term end? (Note: No previous DT experience is required, we are just curious.) 
8. Tell us about YOU....what do you love about scrapbooking? What do you love about Doodlebug products and how do you think your style fits with DB. Why do you want to be one of the first official DB design team members?
9. Send a profile photo and short bio about you. That way when you get picked we already have your info to share with our followers.

All DB Design Team applications must be received by November 5th to be considered. If selected you will be notified via email and the new team will be announced here on our new blog. 

Design Team Requirements

1. You will be required to submit 2-3 assignments per month. Occasionally you will be assigned our Tuesday Tutorial with step-by-step photos and written instructions required. 
2. Once a year you will be asked to create a class project for our retail stores. This would include product photos, step-by-step photos and written instructions. Your name and blog will be listed.
3. We are hoping that our team members will be able to submit their projects, supply lists and short write-up about your projects in HTML format. We are willing to teach you how (so no worries).
4. All team members will be asked to watermark their project photos with the Doodlebug logo and your name/URL. This will help us better market our products and your projects on Pinterest.

Design Team 2012: Aphra Bolyer

Aphra Bolyer  

I LOVE Doodlebug’s bright, colorful, and whimsical papers and the variety of coordinating embellishments, especially the brads and buttons.  Oh, and new twine!   My name is Aphra, and I live down South in Louisiana with my Alaskan oil man Jeff and our two boys, ages 11 and 4. While my husband is tromping around in the Alaskan tundra for weeks at a time, I'm home working part-time at a doctor's office, chasing around our two rowdy boys and miniature dachshund Max, and staying up into the wee hours of the night scrapbooking. 

Fun Facts about Aphra: 

• What’s the #1 most played song on your iPod?  Right now, I’m loving “If I Die Young” by The Band Perry.  I like a good ‘ole sing along.
• If you could be any fictional character, who would you choose?  From about age 6 until about age 10, I wanted to BE Laura Ingalls Wilder from Little House on the Prairie.  Now, however, I’d rather be
• If you had to work on only one project for the next year, what would it be? It would be putting my layouts in albums.  In fact, it would probably take me about a year to get it done.  Shame, shame . . . I know!

Here are some of Aphra's projects:
