7. A brief “about me” summary to include; interests, crafting history, etc. Whatever you would like us to know about you and your experience.

Because you will need to share your Blackleaf Studios creations, you are required to have a well-maintained blog for posting your artwork and any information concerning Blackleaf Studios. Ability to photograph and post your creations is a must.

Blackleaf Studios designers are required to create 3 projects per month. These 3 projects will come from these categories:

*Anything But a Card* due on the 2nd of the month

*Color Combo Challenge* due on the 2nd Saturday of each month

*Wednesday Challenge* Every Wednesday.

As a part of the Blackleaf Studios team, you will be able to choose which images you would like to work with. You will be given image choices from 3 sets each month to work with for challenges.

Please note that all images are provided digitally, so the ability to print the images is a must.
Please do not apply if you are not comfortable working with digital stamps or graphics.

We have a yahoo group dedicated to the Design Team. You would be expected to join this group & participate in discussions with others as well as giving suggestions or ideas when asked. Image selection and challenge information is given here. Please keep in mind you will receive emails.

As a DT member, BLS would like to see you posting your creations in online stamping community galleries, such as Splitcoast Stampers and Paper Craft Planet. This will help to increase exposure to the stamps and images. Projects will be featured in various publications, product catalogs, BLS websites, used for submissions to popular scrapbooking and crafting magazines, portals, or other purposes.


The Perks:

You will get a badge to display on your blog to show that you are a part of the Blackleaf Studios DT!!

Every month you will get enough digital stamps from 3 sets to design with.
They are yours to keep. Remember BLS requires at least 3 projects per month. The projects you create as part of your design team requirements are also yours to keep. You will also receive 2 freebie images of your choice.

You will receive a welcome kit full of goodies.

You get a 15% discount on website purchases for as long as you are on the design team.
