Double the challenges #29- #30

Everyone,

I have to apologize for the lack of challenges, it was an apparent miss-understanding. I have been in an internet-less vacation (yes, a nightmare, you guess it right... LOL!!!!)

I am going to be posting Challenges #29 and #30 together this means.... that you can do both or one of them and link them to the same Mr. Linky. You will have till January 8th to gave us your take and remember we are still looking for our next DT. So if you want to be considered you have till Jan 8th to submit your entries. keep them coming! and sorry for the delay!

We are looking for a new Design team and the December's Challenges will be a Design Team Call. So if you are interested in being part of the 2010 team (for the first 3 months of the year) then just type DT submission next to your name in Mr. Linky.

A few of the DT rules if you are chosen:

1. We will assign either TEAM A or TEAM B to be part of, you are expected to do a challenge every other week. (Of course you can always do all the challenges.)
2. Our challenges are posted in advance in a private yahoo group, but due to the nature of Pile It On, not much work can be done in advance since you have to have at least one more CURRENT challenge done in your project.
3. You can do ANY type of crafty item.
4. Samples need to be uploaded to the BLOG on Saturday.
5. We will rotate between the DT the selection of the TOP 3 Scoops!
6. The Design Team reign will be of 3 months

KEEP THOSE ENTRIES COMING LADIES... THANKS!
