Now that you know what it's like to play here, how about you try out to be a part of the team?!

Here is the DT CALL info:
Sketchy Thursdays Design Team Call
http://www.sketchythursdays.blogspot.com/

Beginning February 15 through March 15, submit your entry to join the Sketchy Thursdays Design Team.

6 Sketchy Players will be chosen to serve a 6-month term beginning April 1.

Sketchy Thursdays is a weekly sketch challenge. Winners are chosen randomly and given a prize by a sponsor. Sketches are posted on Thursdays.

The DT will submit their layouts to Diana and Heidi by posting to the Design Team Gallery blog page no later than the Tuesday night before the Thursday posting for the reveal.

DT members are responsible for at least 2 pages per month. DTs will have to submit biweekly on their assigned week, but may also provide materials for the off weeks if they choose to.

Opportunities to submit materials for a Second Chance Challenge do occur within the month. Though not required, participation is welcomed and desired.

Occasionally we do have weeks that are sponsored such that you will have to complete the sketch using the materials provided by the sponsor. We do try to allow for plenty of time for these opportunities.

International entries welcome.

Please submit your application to dianadesigns@rochester.rr.com by March 15.
• Include 3 layouts, cards or projects that best reflect your design style.
• Include your name, email address, links to any photo galleries, the link to your blog if you have one, and any other Design Teams you are currently on.
• Also, put in 3 sentences why you think you will be an asset to the Sketchy Thursdays weekly challenge.

Sketchy Players will be contacted by March 17 by email. The DT will be announced on the blog shortly thereafter. Reveals from the new DT will be with the April 1 sketch challenge.

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

And there you have it! Some of the changes that can be expected with the new term are included above in the call. With the refreshing of the team, Heidi and I are going to continue to keep you on your toes!!

As always, if you are interested in sponsoring, let us know. If you've sponsored in the past, we'd love to have you back again!

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

And, we now have a Facebook Fan Page! Fan us today in the left sidebar! We'll have prizes over there as well. We'll also be highlighting sketchy players, kind of like an extension of the DT Faves. If you're playing along, you may see your page featured on the Fan page.

Sketchy Thursdays is on Facebook!

You can now fan Sketchy Thursdays on Facebook! There is already a giveaway opportunity over there now, and we plan to use this page as an extension of the DT Faves! Get "pubbed" on our Facebook page! We'd love for you to share what you are working on for Sketchy Thursdays.

Missed a deadline but would have loved to have shared your page? Share it there! We'd love to still leave you love and see your work!

Hope everyone is having a great Valentine's Day weekend!

This week's winner is going to receive a wonderful kit from Magpie Club! Here's a little bit more about the club. (And what a fabulous kit that is!!!)

The Magpie Club is a monthly kit club that offers two kits a month. A Main Kit and a Credit Crunch Kit, the Credit Crunch Kit is only $12.50 plus $5 S&H.

I hand make a lot of the embellishments myself, I am always busy stamping, gluing, glittering and sewing. I also like to mix things up a bit and always include interesting non-traditional scrapbooking finds.

The kits are a lot of fun to both put together and scrap with. We also have a lot of fun over on my blog (http://www.magpieclub.blogspot.com/) with lots of challenges and giveaways.

So thank you for reading this and be sure to hop on over to my web site to check us out. Good Luck!!


Thanks again for stopping by today! Can't wait to see what everyone makes this week!
