"it could be you!"

What do I need to do?
Leave a message in our comments box giving your blog address and a link to a post that mentions your DT or GDT application.

How long is the DT call running for?
The DT call will run from

Wednesday 6th June

until

Sunday 17th June 2012 , 8pm (GMT)

Also if you want further information or want to give us more information send me email at

judith.blueskies@btinternet.com

The Fab'n'Funky DT girls will then visit you to have a good look around your blog - so make sure you've dusted! Please ensure in your post that you put down that you

want to be considered for the

Fab'n'Funky DT or GDT position.

When will the new DT members be announced?
The new members will be announced on
Wednesday 20th June 2012
and will begin participating in the challenges from the following Wednesday
GDT posts will also be informedsoon after and arrangements will be made for GDT positions of one month.

If you're not sure if you could commit as a full DT member why not give a GDT spot a go

- many a GDT has been kept on as a full time member and you can find out about how it all works if you're just not sure!

When do the challenges run?
Our challenges run from Wednesday morning to the following Tuesday evening

What will be required of you?
You will need to commit to participate in the weekly challenges using the theme set and any sponsor images provided. Your completed project will need to be uploaded to the Challenge Blog by Tuesday evening ready for the new challenge which is published on the Wednesday morning. You will also be asked to comment on the challenge entries (which we run on a rota system). Please note that the Fab'n'Funky DT strongly believe that everyone who enters our challenges should receive recognition from the DT for participating as we have a strong and loyal following.

Do I need experience?
"CERTAINLY NOT!" We just want people who are enthusiastic, prepared to post a Fab'n'Funky DT card weekly on your blog and love to craft and are up for a challenge! If you are on other DT's that doesn't exclude you either but please do consider your work load when entering our DT Call.

Is there any financial reward?
Unfortunately the answer to that is " NO " ! We are very lucky however as many of our sponsors do supply us with their images and/or products in the weeks they sponsor.

How are the themes set?
You will go on a rota to set the weekly challenge ,

when you can choose the weeks theme taking into account our sponsors and any events going on at the time.

Anything else?
The Fab'n'Funky Challenges DT is a very friendly bunch we openly discuss everything between us all, so obviously we are looking for a friendly enthusiastic team player for our team, but don't worry we are all here to help you find your way around and we just love new teamies!!

So if you are interested, please do have "a go" as you never know.

If you applied before and were unlucky, please do not let this put you off entering this time around

Now if you have any further questions that have not been covered in this post, please just email Judith who will answer your question(s).

Good luck everyone and as always, many, many, many thanks for your continued support, enthusiasm and participation.

Now onto this week’s challenge, which is sponsored by

DigiDarla designs

who are offering a fab prize of

5 images for

the winner to play with.

The theme for this week’s challenge is:

Go Green!

Interpret it as you wish, it could include a wide range of projects, starting with using the colour green as your main colour or you could go green and include something environmentally friendly in your project, use recycled materials etc. Hope you like it!

Here’s what the Design Team did. We were lucky enough to play with some fab Digi Darla Designs digi stamps!
