Crop Addict's Torn to Bits Challenge December 24th - December 31st

Crop Addict's featured DT for December, Michon, has quick and easy challenge for you this month that we're calling Torn to Bits.

What with Christmas this week and all the kids ripping into their presents, this should be a fun challenge. So get a little crazy and start tearing some paper yourself. I know you may think it is old style but I say we need to bring it back! I love the way torn paper can be used in a layout or project. Especially with all the white core paper out there now. Show us how you use this technique on your pages or project.

Upload your layout/s and/or project/s to the Torn to Bits gallery by midnight PST on December 31st and post a link on the forum.

Are you up for it? Show us your stuff. Good luck!

And one final weekly challenge from Crop Addict's July featured DT, Rani for July 30th - August 6th.

Using an exacto knife on the paper design as a technique in creating a cool design layout. What's great about it is when you use it on double sided paper; you can then fold over the cut part to reveal the color on the other side...does this make sense? Let's see how your layouts can be a cut above.

Upload your layout/s to the Cut Above Challenge gallery and post a link here by midnight PST on August 6th

----- -------- AUTHOR: cropaddict.com TITLE: Guest Design Team Contest DATE: 10:14 PM ----- BODY:
Crop Addict is looking for a Guest Designer for the months of October and December for our monthly kit. We're asking that interested designers purchase the Guest DT Contest Kit, this way everyone has access to the same supplies. Due to shipping and time constraints our Guest Designer spot is open to US residents only.

Submission requirements: There is no set number of layouts or projects but we want to see how you can rock this kit. It'll give us a good indicator of how you'll ROCK our monthly kit. So if you feel that just one layout represents your best work then one layout is fine. But if you want to WOW us and show us that you can crank out several layouts and maybe even a project, well you bet, we want to see everything!

Eligibility: Because we require our DT to be exclusive, we ask the same for our Guest Designer. If you're on another online store or kit club's DT then you would not be eligible. If you are on a LSS DT or manufacturer DT you are eligible.

Upload your layouts into the Guest DT gallery located in the Design Team Challenge gallery.
Submissions are due by midnight PST on September 3, 2007.

Contest begins: July 31st and ends September 3rd. Winner will be announced September 3rd.

If you're chosen as a Guest Designer for Crop Addict:
1) If you desire, your photo and bio will be added to our Design Team page on our website. And your name will be listed on the Crop Addict home page.

2) You will receive the October Monthly kit within a week of being selected. We require that you complete 4 layouts and 1 project with the October kit and upload them into the October Monthly kit gallery by October 1st.

3) Guest Designer will participate in the forums by posting a minimum of 4 times a week.
