H for Hardware and some GREAT news!

It's Wednesday and we have a New challenge, It's my turn Samantha to Host this fortnight's Challenge, but before I tell you all about the challenge, I want to share some what I/we think its Great News!

I am Really excited to open our DT call! Yes we would love to have 3 new Christmas Mad Crafters to Join our Design Team… Sooooooo if you want to be in our Gang and LOVE making Christmas Projects of any kind, then this could be the fun chance for you! This would be a permanent position No term, just stay as long as you're happy! We will be holding the DT call on this challenge.

So the DT CALL will be open for the 2 weeks!
and will finish with the challenge.

As a DT member, you would be required to make a Christmas Card/Project for each challenge (once a fortnight), and comment on entries to the challenges - we have a rota, but you can comment or more if you wish! So the commenting is shared between us all :0)

We also take it in turns to post the challenges on this blog, and choose the 'Top 3' for the challenges we 'host'.
We are a very friendly and democratic team, and appreciate everyone's input into challenge themes, and have a DT blog, where we chat and share our ideas.

So, if you love crafting for Christmas as much as we do,
