We know you love challenges and with so many closing down lately, I'm happy to share that there's a new one coming to town January 1, 2023! Birthstone Challenges is a color challenge blog <span style="background-color: white;">welcoming all types of handmade projects such as cards, scrapbook layouts, ATCs, mixed media, altered items, 3-D projects, etc. using the featured birthstone colors. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;">Just like my other challenge blogs, we'll host six challenges per year and each challenge lasts approximately six weeks. All challenges are family-friendly anything goes with the featured birthstone colors. Challenges will </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">go live at 4:00 AM Mountain Time on the 1st day of each odd month and run until 4:00 PM Mountain Time on the 15th day of the following month. </span><span style="background-color: white;">More info is available </span><a href="https://birthstonechallenges.blogspot.com/p/playing-guidelines.html" target="_blank">HERE</a><span style="background-color: white;">. I'm still building the site so it's not totally complete, but feel free to poke around!</span></p><p>Now, with a new challenge blog comes a design team call! <span style="font-family: inherit;">Designers would be required to create one project every other month using one or both of the featured birthstone colors, have a blog to share your DT inspiration projects, take good photos and comment on one number. I'm also looking for a blog co-owner. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;">If this sounds like a team you'd be interested in, shoot me an email (see Contact page over on right sidebar) with 'Birthstone Challenges DT' in the subject line, your blog URL and whether you'd like to be considered for the co-owner role. I'd love to hear from you!<br /><br />Your stone girl,<br />Leslie<br /><br /></span></p>Lesliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07815985871986450885noreply@blogger.com4
