Now that I'm only a few weeks away from my guest CT with Kristin I'm curious about how it all works. I mean I know how it works, but I've always been a planner and prefer to know as much as possible about something before I start. So any tips, tricks, advice and information you can share with me would be awesome!

Let's see if I can help a little.
Generally, the designer will give you access to some sort of guest forum, could be a Facebook group, could be a private forum. Most will give you a heads up at some point during the week what you might expect to see. You'll usually get download links to the product and they'll let you know what their deadline is for their newsletter, etc and how they would like to receive the layout. Might be a photobucket link, uploading to a shared Dropbox folder or even emailing to the designer. Does that help a little? |

As for timing, It really depends on how everyone's week is going and what type of products they will be releasing, either a solo product or a collaboration with someone else. There are times when the turnaround time to get a layout ready might be fairly short but it really all depends...

Christine, I've been into a few CTs and I believe Stacia explained it pretty well.
What I personally used to do was go out of my comfort "scrapping" zone when it came to creating a CT page because I believe the main purpose of a CT page is to show the product at its best. Amazing CT pages + a great product preview is a winning combination ![]() I'm sure you'll be fine and will enjoy it ![]()

That's a good idea about the outside my comfort zone.

I agree with going out of your comfort zone. Also, I like to showcase the different ways the kits could be used. For example, a "girly" kit can usually still be used for boys or a summer kit used for a cold weather pic. It all depends on what is in the kit of course, but I'm sure the designers would also like to show that their designs are versatile.
