Do You Love........

Awesome Sponsors????? Well do you? ;)
If the answer is yes and you love our blog and enjoy playing along with our challenges then we would love you to officially show your support by "following" us on our sidebar and also on our FACEBOOK page.
Because, did you know, that ALOT of sponsors will only sponsor blogs with a HUGEMOUNGOUS following.  And apparently the 804 lovely official followers we have is not enough :(  Although we of course love you all :)
So if you want more new and awesome sponsors for next year please click that follow button, share us on facebook or your blogs and LIKE us on facebook and we will do our best to bring you loads of lovely sponsors for next year, thanks to you all xx

New Design Team Members....

Wow - thanks so much to everyone that applied to our dt call, the response was fantastic.  We have added  few new ladies this time round with varied types of papercrafting expertise.

I really wish we could have taken on all the applicants as the standard was so high but having DT teams of 25 may have been a little extreme :)  The new Dt lovlies will be starting at the end of August - early September depending on which team they are in.

So until then here are our new ladies links....

Joining Team Trace we have:

Southern Girls DT CALL - CLOSED

DT Call - SGC are on the hunt.......... For our Current Challenge click HERE

 Hard to believe that 6 months has nearly passed since our last call. We are on the hunt for some  DT Members for our happy little group.
If you think you may be interested, check out the following info.......... 

 We are an open blog so any type of paper crafters can apply. We are a 3 weekly challenge and the team is split into 2 groups so you are only required to do 1 project per month most months. We have lots of fabulous sponsors and sometimes they give us images to work with (YAY). So check our sponsor list and if these companies are your thing. If you are a scrapbooker, PLer or OTP artist you will not need to work with the images unless you want to.

We are pretty chatty, about loads of stuff not just crafting, so be prepared to work those fingers in our group message center on Facebook. 

You will need a blog.

You will need to be able to use digital images if you are a card maker.

You will need to be a member of facebook as this is where we do our communicating.

We are a very supportive, tight knit group so being a part of our DT is like being in a secret club.

The term is 8 months with an option to reapply

 If this sounds like a DT that may appeal to you please contact Lou at THIS EMAIL ADDRESS LINK!!!!!! (southerngirlschallenges{at}gmail{dot}com) with an email telling us a little about yourself, any current (if any) DTs you are on, fav techniques/ syles that sort of thing and attach your fave 3 projects for us to see and also add a link to your blog please. We are looking forward to perusing the hundreds of applicants emails and eagerly await all your lovely blog links :) Closes 13th July 2014
