DT Call and THREE GIVEAWAYS!

Hello friends!

The Paper Variety is seeking creative crafters who would like to join our Design Team!

We're looking for 4-6 new smiles to share their love of paper crafting and inspiring others - artists of all styles and experience levels. If you love paper and enjoy using it to create a variety of projects, then we hope to hear from you!

Here are a few DT requirements:

• Be able to create a variety of paper projects including layouts, cards, mini-albums, altered items, banners, decorative pieces, gift bags etc.
• Submit a project every 2 weeks which follows the scheduled challenges
• Have a blog and link our design team blinky on your side bar
  
• Post current TPV challenges and your projects on your blog, linking TPV and sharing sponsor information
• Use mostly current products on your projects (introduced within the past 2 years)
  
• Comment on participant entries
• Commit to a 4 month term beginning January 5th, ending April 27th

Presently there is no compensation for your DT commitment. However Abby and Suzanne do send small gifts of thanks and appreciation to each team member.

We will welcome back several current DT members AND will choose 4-6 new crafters to join us.

Applications will be accepted until December 17th midnight. The announcement of the new team will be posted on December 22nd! :)
