As of the end of February, our Creative Team as a 'team' will no longer be active. Coming to this decision has not been an easy one, but we feel that it's time to start something new.

They have been a fantasticinspiration to all of us. We can't thank our CT ladies, past and present, enough for all of their time and dedication to ACOT.

I love the inspiration of the CT and will miss them! Looking forward to what new things you've got up your sleeve Kristin! I hope there will still be challenges and fun!

[mgehrke]

I am sure it was a difficult decision that you had to make. What a bunch of very very talented people. I too am looking forward to new fun. I will miss the CT.

[handerful]

This is really sad.


I hope this is not the end of monthly challenges.

[blbabe1234]

This is really really sad news to hear. I will miss seeing the CT's inspiration and tutorials.

And ditto what handerful said - I hope its not the end of montly challenges.

[pawprints]

I am so sorry to hear this! But it sounds as tho you have a fresh new plan for us.

[javalove]

I will greatly miss the CT. They've been a fantastic source of inspiration for me since I joined this board two years ago. I am, however, looking forward to seeing what the "something new" will be. Thanks to you Kristin, all past and present CT members, and all my fellow cherries for making this such a fantastic place every day!

I know this must have been a hard decision for acot to make!


Being on acot's CT was such an incredible honor and I will cherish those memories forever!!



Now we the board members just need to try to make some new memories!!

[dshepard]

Sad to hear this...I enjoyed the inspiration they brought to us. I also want to know the fate of the monthly challenges.

You mean there will be no more creative team? That means no more crops? I'm SO sad!!!

There will still be crops, they just will no longer be with us. I am sure that they will be just as much fun!

I personally think this is the wrong decision for ACOT as a company to make. The CT is what gets us here and makes us want to scrap and buy products.
Yes, you'll get participation still among the boards and I'm sure you'll still have things be sold in the shop, I believe you're going to see a drastic decline in the gallery and on the board.

I for one, don't think this will be my home much longer.

Oh wow.. sorry to hear that as I get lots of inspiration from the CT. But, I suppose this just means there is something new and different on the horizon. Looking forward to see what comes next.

I think there are some of us who don't even know what words to say...but, I am guessing there are those of us who will still be around at ACOT! I actually started my hand at selling my digital designs (Mouse Bunny Nibbles)....so I just have to keep my fingers crossed in that aspect!
I, too, thank ACOT for the many years that I have been given as a Digital CT Member. I have made many friendships here that I never would have had it not been for this place!

[ChrissyTina]

That does suck. Honestly. I'm not the least bit surprised by it.

totally this

[PezKat]

WOW. I hope the new plans are announced soon - I kept waiting and waiting to hear about a new CT call!!

I totally plan my spring schedule around ACOT's NSD crop so *PLEASE* let us know ASAP if that is not happening. Seriously - as part of a chain of events it actually influences when and if we're visiting relatives overseas this year!.

I know there has been attrition as the paper CT has declined and I agree w/the others who say the challenges, CT inspiration and crops are what has brought and kept so many of us to this wonderful community! I for one will re-mention that I would be happy to help with monthly challenges as well as other duties that formerly belonged to the CT if help is needed.

[JulesinParadise]

Just speechless, kind of!

[scraptag]

Thank you all for the years of fun and inspiration. It's going to be kinda quiet around here, I think.

[ncokely]

Wow---all I can think about right now is how some of the CT members have made this my cyber home
