Ta da... the Final Sneak Peek... and Design Team Call Update

This stamp set by the fabulous Nina B Designs for The Crafts Meow will make it sew easy to create beautiful cards and scrapbook pages!

Bet you can't wait for this one, can you? :)

On another note, I want to let you all know that we received more than 100 applications for our open Design Team positions. Yowser!!! Let me tell you that I seriously wish I could have you all on our team! This is the hardest part of issuing a design team call... I don't want to disappoint anyone, and I appreciate how much time and effort you put into applying and then waiting to hear. Trust me, I've been on the other side countless times... some I got, others I didn't. All I can say is please don't take it personally if you aren't selected. It isn't about that at all, even though it might feel like it. Besides, I firmly believe... and have told myself this when I wasn't selected for a particular DT... that when one door closes, another opens. It's true. I know this from my own experience.

We are still going through all the applications and hope to start contacting applicants this weekend. I will definitely post here on the blog when we've done that so that you don't have to wonder. We will not only be picking DT members, but also guest designers. And remember... another call will go out around July'ish.

Tomorrow we start previews of the new stamp sets, so please be sure to join us! As always, we will be giving away the featured stamp set each day to one lucky commenter, so won't want to miss out!

Have a great day!

A Third Peek and News!

Happy Valentine's Day!!! I have lots of things to share today, so here goes!

First up, another fabulous stamp set by Kaitlyn Ord for The Craft's Meow. Don't worry... we've got your number! ;)

Next, we are very pleased to announce that The Craft's Meow is sponsoring the Ribbon Carousel Challenge and it's a sketch challenge!

The prize up for grabs is an in-stock TCM stamp set of your choice! Lots of fun and a chance to win, so let's go!!!

Speaking of winning prizes, there are still some Grab Boxes left and a chance to win a $100 gift certificate to spend in the TCM store!!!

As a reminder, the boxes are $19 apiece and the contents are well below retail price. The boxes contain products from

My Mind's Eye

Echo Park

Pink Paislee

Graphic 45

Crate Paper

Maya Road

Ranger/Tim Holtz

LaBlanche

Bazzil

plus ribbon, flowers and buttons. Some even have additional surprises tucked inside!!!

Note: not all boxes will have something from each of these companies/categories. If you purchase more than one box, I'll make sure you get boxes that are as different from each other as possible.

Also, I've been having problems with the shipping calculator in the store for International orders. I've made some adjustments to the settings, which has helped, but is certainly not perfect. I don't know why, but the system over-estimates International shipping costs almost all of the time. But I do refund overpayment of shipping! If you have any questions or concerns, please email me at thecraftsmeow@gmail.com.

Here is what a few our satisfied customers have said about the Grab Boxes:

I'm gonna do the happy dance all afternoon!! I ordered 2 grab boxes and it arrived about half an hour ago! Can't wait to play with all my new goodies! -Madeleen

 My box arrived today and it's awesome!!- Laurie

Just opened my Grab Boxes......O-M-G-!!!!! It is awesome!!!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!! - Corine

And finally, drumroll please, the winner of an in-stock TCM stamp set of choice drawn from all our Facebook fans is...

Cheryl McPherson Reynolds!!!

Congratulations Cheryl!!! Please email me at thecraftsmeow@gmail.com with your stamp set choice and mailing address and I'll get your prize right out to you! 

Whew, that's a lotta news! I'll close now with a wish that you all have a very Happy Valentine's Day! Be sure to come back tomorrow for our final sneak peek of the February release before previews start on Thursday!

A Second Sneaky Peeky!
