April Challenge - Use A Stamp

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

First of all, thank you to everyone who entered our DT call. We had lots of great talent applying, and I decided to grow our team significantly and split it into two - a launch team and a reminder team.

This is our very first challenge and I hope you're all as excited for the launch as we are. We decided to keep things simple for this challenge, and so our theme is Use A Stamp, and we have lots of inspiration for you from our launch team.

Welcome and DT Call

Hello!

Welcome to Christmas Crafts Creations! A brand new challenge blog dedicated to Christmas Crafts.

Whilst we're brand new, we're also well-established. Hows that possible? The new Christmas Craft Creations team are what's left of the Christmas at Sweet Stampin' team. With the last Sweet Stampin' members leaving the team the decision was made to split the Christmas challenge away from Sweet Stampin'. But don't worry, we're still friends! 

What does this mean for you? The challenge will continue in much the same way as CASS operated, with a new monthly challenge going live on the second Wednesday of each month. Create a craft following the challenge theme and you'll be in for a chance to be one of our top picks! You can familiarise yourself with the challenge rules in the side bar.

As I mentioned, the last Sweet Stampin' members have sadly left the team, but that's good news for you if you've been wanting to join us! 

DT Call
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
- 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 (the challenge will be getting it's own email address soon, but this one is fine for now!) or click the email link in the side bar, with the subject "CCC DT Call" and include the following information:
- Your name and a brief bio (e.g. how long you've been crafting, a note on your style) 
- 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 31st March. Please make sure you have followed the application instructions completely. I will try to reply promptly to acknowledge all applications but please do allow a couple of days.

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

And whether you apply to the team or not, we can't wait to have you join us here on April 8th for our first challenge! 

Stay Crafty,
Lady Joyful and the CCC team
