Calling all keen crafters looking for a little challenge! Over on an Oldie But A Goodie Challenge, there is a Design Team Call. If you, like me, have a lots of old Stash gathering dust, then an OBAG challenge is the place to be! This is a fortnightly challenge with a new theme every other Tuesday in which you follow the theme and use something on your project that is at least 6 months old. You can make anything you like Card, ATC, L/O etc as long as it fits in with the challenge.
So, if you've ever wanted to participate regularly in a challenge, do think about answering the Design Team call-out.
I like being a member of this design team because:
1. As a fortnightly challenge, it is not too onerous a commitment for me
2. I've so much old stash to use, I never find it a problem to use at least one thing 6 months old on my cards etc (and sometimes everything is old :wink:)
3. Although we often have the opportunity to use sponsor images for free, it's not obligatory, and we're not tied into one specific sponsor/manufacturer so I don't find I am limited at all by my commitment to the DT
4. The current DT is quite an international group, so it is lovely to see different styles and takes on themes from around the world
5. You get plenty of notice of the forthcoming themes, so you can plan your projects in advance and not have to rush them at the last minute.
More details can be found on this link to An Oldie But A Goodie Challenge (http://oldiebutagoodiechallenge.blogspot.co.uk/2013/07/dt-call.html)
Finally, I know that many peeps feel shy about their work, and are their own worse critics, but please don't hold yourself back. We're lucky to have several members on here who are also on various design teams, and I'm sure they would agree with me that it is such a lovely way to share your crafting enjoyment.
