Before you run off to find out how our Designers made their projects or take out your crafting supplies to get started, I have some exciting news to share with you!  We are ready to add some new Designers to our Color Dare challenge blog! Is this something that appeals to you?


Would you be excited about:
    -- Using Close to My Heart products in creating on a regular basis?
    -- Creating one project and posting it to your blog every other week (twice a month)?
    -- Commenting on assigned entry #'s on weeks you submit a project? (Fellow DT members also appreciate comments)
    -- Voting for favorite entries every week?
    -- Becoming part of our Color Dare DT Facebook group where we plan and communicate with each other?  
    -- Donating an occasional "prize" for our monthly prize winners? 


NO PREVIOUS DESIGN TEAM EXPERIENCE REQUIRED!

If you can say "yes" to all the above then we would love to hear from you.  We are asking for a six month commitment to run from July 2017 to December 2017 which may be extended if you wish to stay longer.

To apply--write DT after your challenge entry AND email Marie (AKA NJ Stamping Queen) at mflayer at comcast dot net.  Applications will close at the end of Color Dare challenge #248 or on June 22, 2017.
