DT CALL

 THE PAPER SHELTER DT CALL

If you are looking for this week's challenge, you can find it here.

Sadly, a few of our treasured team are leaving and a few spots are opening up.  We'd love to welcome you to the team, so we're running a DT call for the next two weeks.

PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS NOT THE CHALLENGE POST!  

This is only for DT applications.  You can however enter the same project in both the challenge and the DT call, but only projects entered here will be considered for the DT positions.  Please add DT after your name, when you enter your project.

This DT call will run from the 21st of November until the 5th of December.

To enter the DT call:

Please use a digital image on your project.  It doesn't have to be a Paper Shelter image, but since we are a digital image company, we'd like to see your work, using a digital image.

Please only enter one project for the DT call.  We'll scroll around on your blog to look at other projects, when we're there.

We are looking for skilled crafters with good colouring skills.

You don't have to enter a new project for the DT call.  Choose one that perfectly shows your style.

You must have a blog where you regularly post your projects.

You must be able to communicate in English, as this is the only language we use on the DT blog.

We'll be looking at the quality of the photographs you take of your projects as well.

What we require of our team members:

Your duties on the team will start in the new year, but you can begin working on those projects immediately.

You will be assigned to either Team A or Team B, who alternate weeks on the challenge blog.

You will be required to make one project every 2nd week, and during the week that your team's challenge is live on the challenge blog, you will need to comment on entries.

You will be assigned two entry numbers to comment on.

Projects need to be uploaded to the DT blog by Monday evening at the latest, in the week of that particular challenge, but you will be able to work ahead.

You will be required to take quality photos of your project, upload them to the DT blog, and in your own blog post on your personal blog, on challenge day.

You need to link back to the image and/or digital papers you have used, in the shop, so customers can find those products.

We typically run a Blog Hop every year, as well as a couple of special challenges, and you will be required to make a project for those.

While we are looking for good colouring skills, The Paper Shelter also has pre-coloured images and digital papers, and you are welcome to use those in your projects occasionally too.

What do you get as a team member?

When you join the team, you will receive a generous voucher from The Paper Shelter to stock up on images to use in your first few challenges.

You will receive all newly released products during your time on the team.

That's it!

If you have any questions, feel free to add them to the comment box.

We will only be contacting you if you have made it onto the team.

You are invited to the Inlinkz link party!

Our new term starts of 1st of April 2015 and will last until the end of September 2015. You are of course required to be able to start working with us right away.

What you need to do to apply to the team

·     As we are a digital company and work with digital images you need to use a digi for your application. It doesn't have to be new, and it doesn't even have to be a TPS image, but we do would love to see you use them.

• Your colouring skills needs to be really good, and that is one of the main things we are looking for when we pick our new members. We are looking for high quality crafters of all kind. We are also looking at your photos as they need to be good enough to show of your work really well.

• Do show your style in your creation. We want to see your style of crafting being it vintage, CAS, colourful, pastels etc. You can apply with any kind of project you want to card, LO, altered project etc but it does have to have a digital image on it that you have coloured yourself.

• Make sure there is come way we can get the hold of your e-mail address on your blog. Would hate not being able to contact you if you are one of the chosen ones. If we can’t contact you, we will go for another designer. (We will NOT leave a comment telling you that you are one of the lucky ones or that we want you to contact us. Google+ and other medias is not accepted either).

• You don't have to use a new card to apply to our team. However, your crafting skills changes more than you know. So a card or other creation that you made a few months back, might not represent who you are at this point. Therefore I recommend that you use a "fresh" card, not older than maybe two months. And remember YOU HAVE TO USE A DIGITAL IMAGE. I will delete any creation that has a stamped main image.

• You do need to have a blog on your own and post regular on it. 

What we expect from you in return you find over HERE. 
Please read it carefully. We have a very long text for our dt-calls to mimimize the questions and you know right away what the deal is to be a part of our team.
