Another DT Call!!

The DT call is now CLOSED and looking forward to formal introductions in a few.  

Thank You to everyone that applied and showed us their heart for papercrafting.  

 

I can't believe we've gone almost 1/2 a year with these challenges!!  Since we have had to say goodbye to a couple members, we decided that it's time to a little bit of a change and another DT call.

This is a minimum 4-month commitment beginning January 2014.  You are, however, welcome to jump in as soon as you are ready. 

Our challenges post every other Friday and run for a full 2 weeks.  The in-between Friday is a mid-inspiration post day.  

Requirements:

o     Create 2 projects a month:

•      1 challenge project uploaded to our private DT blog (2) days before your assigned post (challenge or mid-inspiration) goes live.  Our challenges run every 2 weeks so there may be a month where you will be required to create 2 projects. 

•      1 project showcasing an image from Kitty Bee Designs per month to be showcased on the KBD blog.

o   Participate in new-release parties/blog hops for Kitty Bee Designs when applicable.

o     Have a Facebook account (this is where our DT chats and where I post our files and sponsor images).

o     Have a personal blog to post about each new challenge/mid-challenge inspiration, and link back to the Aloha Friday Challenges. 

o     Post your DT badge on your blog’s sidebar.

o     Comment on your assigned numbers (no more than 2-3)

o     Promote Kitty Bee Designs wherever you can!

Benefits:

o     You will be provided with a wide range of images from KBD and other sponsors to work with and use not only for our challenges, but on projects for yourself and other challenges.

o     Your name and blog link will be displayed on the Kitty Bee Blog.

How to apply:

Email DT coordinator kel: KittyBeeChallenges@gmail.com with:

1.   Your name & location

2.   Your blog address

3.   A list of your current DT responsibilites

4.    (3) of your best recent creations (either uploaded to the email or linked to your blog) 

This DT call is open to everyone - international applicants welcome, no previous design team experience necessary. The call will stay open through November 30th or until all spots have been filled. 

I look forward to seeing your applications and can’t wait to add to our fun team!
