DT Requirements
As a DT Member you would be required to take part in our Fortnightly Challenges following the theme of the set Challenge, you will know all of the upcoming challenges in advance, so not to worry, You would also be required to take part in any other events that we may hold, like a Blog Hop for example :) (one of which will be held very very soon)
Part Of Another Design Team
Not to worry, as long as you can commit to the BasicGrey Challenges DT and are not conflicted with other DT work then of course feel free to apply, but please consider the new workload before you apply, the last thing we want is for you to struggle to keep up with the Challenges, this is meant to be fun and stress free, not a job that you feel obliged to do, so again please do keep that in mind :)
No Previous Design Team Experience
Not a problem at all, we welcome all applications whether you have DT experience or not, in fact we would encourage peeps with no previous DT experience to try out for our Design Team, more so over those that do, we want to give everyone a fair chance :)
No Blog
No problem, a blog is not required to be part of the BasicGrey Challenges Family, as long as you have an active Email account so you can send us your DT Creations then that is fine and dandy :)
When The New DT Will Be Announced
The new DT Members will be announced during our upcoming blog hop (date to be announced very very soon), this way we can celebrate our new Family Members in style :), and yes that means you will be required to take part in the blog hop, we hope that is ok? (for other DT requirements please see above)
FAQ
A few things you might like to know :)
Are You Associated With BasicGrey?
Sadly no :(, we are not in anyway associated with BasicGrey, We are just crafters who have a love of their wonderful crafty goodies like many of you :)
Do I Need To Use BasicGrey Products?
Well ….. yes, this is a BasicGrey Challenge Blog after all, so you will need to use at least one item of BasicGrey on each of your fortnightly challenge creations, this means you will be required to have at least a few BasicGrey products in your collection
Will I Be Given BasicGrey Products To Use In My Design Team Work?
As much as i would love to spoil each of the DT Members with ooodles and ooodles of BasicGrey goodies, truthfully i am afraid my purse wouldn't be very happy with me if i did :(, but … keeping that in mind, i do like to send my lovely BG challenge family members little surprises now and again ;) , but shhhh don't tell my purse lol
Right then, i think everything has been covered :), here is the Mr Linky then :), we look forward to your applications :)

The BasicGrey Challenges Team
Hey hey all, time for another BasicGrey Challenge :), Thanks so much to all of you who played along to the last challenge, it was lovely to see all of the different ways Fabric was incorporated into your creations :)
We really hope that you can join in with this fortnights challenge too, which is …
Paper Piecing
This week we would love to see some Paper Piecing used on your creations :)
for those of you not familiar with Paper Piecing here is a little run down,
“Paper Piecing is when you have patterned paper on parts of your image (or the whole image if you choose) instead of your normal colouring (of course you can still have normal colouring on parts of your image too if you wish, this is actually what most people do), and this is done by first stamping your image onto a piece of card (this will be your base image) and also stamping the same image onto the patterned paper or papers of your choice, next you cut the pieces that you wish you piece from your patterned papers and attach them to the base image using an adhesive of your choice, you can then continue this process with other patterned papers if you want more piecing on your image or simply leave it be and finish your image with normal colouring (of course you can always colour the image before you add the piecing, that's completely up to you) :)“
“You don't always have to Paper Piece an image though, you can always create a Paper Pieced element on your creation like Tara W has done for this challenge, she has created some beautiful Paper Pieced flowers using a flower design Rubber Stamp :) (head on over to her blog to find out more on how she did this :) ), as long as a Rubber Stamp is used to create the base design of your element then you are good to go :)”
So there we go, a quick little how to on Paper Piecing :), we do hope you were able to understand that little bit of rambling and that you are able to follow the directions clearly, if not (Blame Martine lol),then please do let us know and we will try our best to explain it a little better :)
Don't forget though, if you want to be eligible for this weeks prize you need to use at least one item of BasicGrey on your creation :)
The Prize
The fab prize for this challenge which has been very generously donated by our one and only sponsor Simon Says Stamp, is a fab $25 spending spree to the Simon Says Stamp Superstore :), Just think of the goodies you could get with that, you lucky ducks :)
This Challenge Closes on Friday the 17th of September at 11.00 pm (GMT)
