for the last couple years I've been saying that I should try next year... maybe I should this year.

It's an absolutely wonderful experience being on the design team for Up2Scrap - I can't recommend it highly enough! Don't hesitate for a second - get those portfolios ready and enter. I love the sound of the items to be included this year - think I might even try to sneak an entry in myself.
