New Challenge Blog & Design Team Call!

Hey everybody! 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 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. 

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 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. More info is available HERE. I'm still building the site so it's not totally complete, but feel free to poke around!

Now, with a new challenge blog comes a design team call! 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. 

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!

Your stone girl,
Leslie
