Hello and welcome back to another challenge at Crafty Boots Challenges.

The theme of the challenge for the next two weeks is 'Gold'. This challenge was chosen by the fabulous Stephanie-Emma, beloved team leader and founder of Crafty Boots Challenges. Stephanie-Emma would like to see gold as part of your project, this can be ink, embossing powder, mirri card, gilding flakes, well you get the idea.

Crafty Boots Challenges has a talented and very friendly Design Team, even if we do say so ourselves, which we are currently seeking to add two or three new members to. This is an exciting opportunity for anyone wishing to take their crafting to the next level. If you think this is just what you have been looking for and would like to know more please click here. The deadline for applications is Sunday 26 October 2014.

Crafty Boots is looking to extend its design team

The Crafty Boots Challenge Blog has a small friendly team of designers which we are looking to expand by two or three new members.

Crafty Boots Challenge Blog has been going for just over three years, since the beginning there have been around 80 challenges.  New challenges are announced on alternate Monday's at 10 am UK time. 

We are in the process of introducing one or two new features, for example, guest designer spots and mid challenge reminders.

Requirements

• Designers are required to create one project for each main challenge and occasionally for the mid challenge reminder; promote the challenges via their personal blog; comment on challenge participants and vote for their top three.  Challenges are fortnightly but we understand that life gets in the way sometimes and you may miss the occasional one.

• You will need to have good photographic skills and provide clear, bright photographs of your work for the challenge blog.

• You must have a blog or, if you do not have a blog, be willing to set one up.

Other information

• There is no set term appointment, you are free to leave at any time, or stay on for as long as you wish.

• Previous design team experience is NOT required.

• This call is open to ALL types of crafters - cardmaking, scrapbooking, mixed media, etc and there is no restrictions on what materials you can use.

• We are intending to add 2 or 3 designers to our existing team (although there may be some flexibility in this if there is a very high standard of applicants).

• The call will be open until midnight (UK time) on Sunday 26 October 2014.
