First of all: a special THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts to everyone who auditioned! 

We were amazed to see so many talented people apply for our inspiration team!

 We loved seeing your work, visiting your blogs and learning about YOU!

 If we could, we would accept everyone who tried out, 

but alas we had limited spots open on the team.

In 2017 we are excited to show you how you can incorporate rubber stamping into a variety of mixed media designs!  Our team will be challenged to think 'out side' the box. 

This includes categories like: art journaling, scrapbooks, jewelry, fabric art, collage, mixed mediums  and more!

 We will provide inspiration for you to use in your everyday life, home, office and gift giving idea's!.

 Please help us welcome the new  (worldwide) 2017 Sin City Inspiration Team!
