Thank you again to all who applied.

Ok so that's this month's challenge taken care of.  Last month's challenge saw some fantastic entries once again, thank you to all who entered.  As we will be awarding a top three as well as our random winner, I will be taking an extra day to sort through all the entries and come back to announce the winners.

We've also had our DT call running for the month of May.  Some fantastic entries were received so a big thank you to all who applied.  The decision will be made and successful applicants contacted over the next couple of days.  Once this has been done I will be back to announce the new DT members.

Design Team Call

This post will stay at the top until close of the DT call.  Please scroll down for our current challenge.

Hi Everyone! It's time once again for another Design Team call.  

We're going to add a few spots to our design team as well as some guest designers for the July to December term.

If you love creating and sharing your Christmas cards and would like to join our fun little group, then all you have to do is link a Christmas card that you've made within the past 6 months.

If you would like to be part of the fun, but don't want to commit to the full six month term, just put GD after your name and we will only consider you for a Guest Designer spot.

The Design Team call will run through until midnight on May 31st US Central Time.

Good Luck everyone.
