Design Team Call for Southern Girls

DT Call - SGC are on the hunt.......... For our Current Challenge scroll down too the next post.

Hard to believe that 12 months has nearly passed since our last call. We are on the hunt for some DT Members for our happy little group.
If you think you may be interested, check out the following info..........

We are an open blog so any type of paper crafters can apply. We are a fortnightly challenge and the team is split into 2 groups so you are only required to do 1 project per month most months. We have lots of fabulous sponsors, some give us images to work with (YAY). And some of them give us delicious products to use on our projects. So check our sponsor list and if these companies are your thing. If you are a scrapbooker or OTP artist you will not need to work with the images unless you want to.
We are pretty chatty, about loads of stuff not just crafting, so be prepared to work those fingers in our group message centre.
You will need an active blog, public facebook or instagram page.
You will need to be able to use digital images if you are a card maker.
You must be able to use Yahoo groups as this is where we do our communicating.
The term is 6 months with an option to reapply

If this sounds like a DT that may appeal to you please contact Lou & Trace at THIS EMAIL ADDRESS LINK!!!!!! (southerngirlschallenges{at}gmail{dot}com) with an email telling us a little about yourself, any current (if any) DTs you are on, fav techniques/ syles that sort of thing and attach your fave 5 projects for us to see and also add a link to your blog please. We are looking forward to perusing the hundreds of applicants emails and eagerly await all your lovely blog links :) Call closes 20th July. Successful applicants will be notified by the 26th July and the new team will be announced here on the 1st August.

Give it and Upper Cut and Punch it out!

Welcome back and thanks for joining us for another challenge here at SGC. Thanks to everyone who played along with our last challenge, we know it was a harder one than usual and some effort had to go in rather than just linking a card that happened to fit the challenge. So A really BIG thank you to those of you that did! This week we are back to an easy one, use a punch or diecut on your project.

Thanks to our fantastic sponsors who this week are....
