You are not required to use anything specific, just the sentiment.  If you make a card and put the sentiment on the inside instead of the front, you need to include a picture [in your blog post] that shows us the sentiment.

2) You may submit up to 5 projects and enter as many other challenges as you like.

3)Other details regarding our challenges can be found by going to the tab titled "Challenge Rules" at the top of the page.

Good morning Ginny H here. It's that time again! 

Where have the last 6 months gone?

We are looking for a few new Design Team members for the new term.

You don't need to have been on a DT before.

Interested?  Consider what you have to offer:

v Do you currently have an active blog?

v Do you love to create projects?

v Can you commit to a minimum 6 month position? 

v  Can you confidently work with digital images and are willing to use images provided by our generous sponsors?

v  Do you love to have fun and hang with like-minded crafters (easy-going, friendly, supportive, etc.?)

v  Do you love to create and help inspire others?

v Can you take good quality pictures of your work?

v  Can you meet a deadline?

v Remember all our challenge have sentiments

v Can you commit to a project every fortnight and commenting on entries? (Not all of them, as we have a system!)

Here is what we offer you in return at Aud Sentiments' DT

v First, a pleasant, enjoyable and supportive team environment.

v You will get digital images to work with from our lovely sponsors.

v You get to help pick winners
