Team members make one challenge card per month posting on either the 10th or 25th of the month - half the team post on each date, swapping half way through the year.</p><p style="text-align: center;">2. Challenge themes are decided from suggestions made by the team members.</p><p style="text-align: center;">3. Team members can choose the digi stamps they work with for each challenge (except when there is a new release when images are allocated at random to ensure they all have sample cards).</p><p style="text-align: center;">4. Everyone comments on either one or two challenge numbers and each month chooses their top 3 from the previous challenge.</p><p style="text-align: center;">5. Team members should be comfortable working with digi stamps and able to take clear photos of their finished cards.</p><p style="text-align: center;">6. No Design Team experience is needed but you do need an active blog, Facebook account and ideally an Instagram account too.</p><p style="text-align: center;">7. Guest Designer positions are also available - join us for two or three challenges to see how things work out for you.</p><p style="text-align: center;">Interested? Please e-mail me at <span face="YahooSans, "Helvetica Neue", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, "Lucida Grande", sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #0f69ff; font-size: 13px; text-align: left;">madebyhelenblog@yahoo.com</span> with some information about you and your social media links.
