November Challenge - Washi Tape & DT Call

Hello, and welcome to the Christmas Craft Creations challenge for November!

Before I get into the challenge, we're continuing our Design Team Call to fill out some spaces in our team. If you love crafting, and want to be making Christmas designs all year around you might be the right fit for the team!

Requirements for joining the team are:

- You must be willing to commit to making one Christmas project a month following the predetermined theme

- You must be willing to upload your project to the dedicated DT blog in a timely manner (we also have a DT group on Facebook)

- You commit to commenting on a selection of the entries to the challenge each month

- You commit to voting on top picks in a timely manner following the instructions provided

- You have a blog and preferably craft social media accounts such as Instagram (note: I will consider applicants that don't have a blog but do have an instagram account in special cases)

- You commit to promoting our challenge (e.g. in Facebook groups, instagram, etc.)

To apply please send an email to thejoyfulsoulcreates@gmail.com, or click the email link in the side bar, with the subject "CCC DT Call - [Your Name]" and include the following information:

- Your name and a brief bio (e.g. how long you've been crafting, a note on your style)

- Your team preference (launch team posts on the 2nd Wednesday each month, reminder team on the 4th Wednesday - please note that the stated preference does not guarantee invitation to that particular team)

- Mention any teams you are currently designing for or have previously designed for (prior experience is not a requirement)

- Links to your blog and any crafting social media pages you may have (Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Pinterest...)

- Examples of three of your best projects (preferably Christmas projects but this is mostly to get an idea of your work)

Deadline for application is 30th November. Please make sure you have followed the application instructions completely. Not following the instructions will reduce your chances of joining the team. I will try to reply promptly to acknowledge all applications but please do be patient with me as things are still very hectic following my international move!

We can't wait to see your applications and look forward to inviting you to the team!

And now, without further ado... This month our theme is Washi Tape - please make sure the theme is very clear in your project. For your card to count, the washi tape should be being used as a feature on the card, not just an embellishment. We have lots of fabulous inspiration for you from our launch team.
