Here's what you need to do to apply:

1. E-mail 3-5 samples of your best work to misscill@yahoo.com. PLEASE be sure to put DESIGN TEAM CALL in the subject heading of your e-mail to ensure it doesn't get lost or overlooked!

2. One sample MUST be something other than a card and ALL samples must contain stamping!

3. Do NOT send an e-mail just directing us to your blog or any other gallery...samples MUST be included in the e-mail. However, you can also include your blog or gallery address if you'd like us to see more!

4. When you apply, please let us know a little about yourself and why you'd like to be a part of the Stamptacular Design Team

*** New members will be chosen and notified no later than August 31st, 2010!***

Here are the Rules & Requirements of a Stamptacular Design Team member:

1. Submit/Post photos of your completed project for each week's challenge by midnight the THURSDAY before the challenge goes live on the Stamptacular Sunday Challenge Blog!

2. Post/Schedule your completed project on your own personal blog or gallery to go live at 6:00AM Eastern Standard Time each Sunday.

3. Post POSITIVE comments on the participants' blogs you are assigned to each week. Each DT member is assigned a number or two, takes very little time to fulfill this requirement!

7. Have FUN being a part of the team! Our team does a lot of "behind the scenes" activities so we are able to truly get to know one another and not just be names on a list that submit our creations from week to week!
