I´m still here!

It´s so strange, the longer it takes to create that post, the more important it gets... All of a sudden the task is so huge that it seems impossible to do. That is what has happened to my blog! I was so excited to share my new studio, and I wanted it to be just perfect when I made the post. But, I use my space all the time, so it is never «perfect», and the post never got written.  I´ll create that post soon, it is all written out, I just need to take the photos!

Huge things are happening though. On the 30th of September my brother and I will be opening an online store called kaBoks. So far we have gotten a great Design Team with 10 digital and hybrid designers. 

Sara, one of the designers, decribed what we want to do beautifully:

«The philosophy behind kaBoks, Siri's new online scrapbooking store, is to break down the walls that exist between the various scrapbooking communities. kaBoks will be a store that will not only bridge traditional, hybrid, and digital scrapbooking, but will target different religions, ethnicities and languages by offering a wide variety of products that speak to inspired creatives around the globe.  There will also be a special department called "kiddy scrap" filled with less serious products aimed at crafting for kiddos! or for us big kiddos at heart ;)»

We are still open for applications to our Design Team if anyone is interested! Just email me (admin at kaboks.com), and I´ll send you some info. Just label the email «DT call» so it does not disappear in the large void that is my inbox!

We are also having a CT call at the moment:

If you have trouble opening the JPG:
What we are looking for:
 - digital crafters (scrapbooking, art journals....)
 - card makers (both traditional, hybrid and digital)
 - scrapbookers (both traditional, hybrid and digital)

We are also looking for 1-3 traditional crafters with no or little experience in hybrid/digital craft. These crafters will be documenting their “journey” into a new world using blog posts, tutorials and videos.

We would also like to get applications to a CT manager position.
