Challenge 45 Reminder, Winner and Top 3 From Challenge 44 and a Design Team Call!

 Hello and welcome back to the challenge blog!

We're back today to share some more inspiration for our current challenge and let you know the winner and top 3 from Challenge 44.

But first .......

DESIGN TEAM CALL

Sadly a couple of our Design Team members are leaving us so we are looking for some new people to join the team!

Here's what you need to know:

1. 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.

2. Challenge themes are decided from suggestions made by the team members.

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).

4. Everyone comments on either one or two challenge numbers and each month chooses their top 3 from the previous challenge.

5. Team members should be comfortable working with digi stamps and able to take clear photos of their finished cards.

6. No Design Team experience is needed but you do need an active blog, Facebook account and ideally an Instagram account too.

7. Guest Designer positions are also available - join us for two or three challenges to see how things work out for you.

Interested?  Please e-mail me at madebyhelenblog@yahoo.com with some information about you and your social media links.  The DT call will remain open for the remainder of this challenge and the next challenge too.

Now back to the winner and top 3 from Challenge 44.

Our theme was 'Friendship/Encouragement' - thank you to everyone who joined us!

Our winner chosen by random.org is:

Challenge 45 - Anything Goes

 Hello and welcome back to the Star Stampz Challenge Blog.

A big thank you to everyone who took part in our last challenge - we really appreciate you joining in.

Don't forget to come back here on 25 March to see who is the winner and top 3 was from last month's challenge and of course to see more inspiration from the Design Team for our current challenge.

We'll be sharing inspiration on our Facebook Group here so if you haven't already joined, make sure you do soon!

And now back to this month's new challenge.

Our theme is:

ANYTHING GOES

And we have something special for you this month - our Design Team members have all used one of the flower fairies new release images!  The images are beautiful so make sure you check them out in the shop - the links for the images appear below.

Here is some inspiration from our Design Team:

Gina using 'Flower Fairy Rose'

Jolanda using 'Flower Fairy - Snapdragon'

Kimberley using 'Flower Fairy - Daisy'

Great inspiration from the team!

Please link up your cards below remembering to link to your post not your whole blog.

Our rules are in the sidebar - please make sure you follow them so you are eligible for our winner's prize of three digi stamps of your choice.  Our challenges end at 12 noon GMT on the 9th of each month and as I mentioned above, the results will be published in our second post of the month on the 25th.

Happy crafting
