Runway DT Call!




-----------Calling all fashionistas-----------

The Runway Inspired Challenge is looking to add some new members to the Design Team! As you know, Wida is retiring from our little team, and Nina has decided to step down as well (we will miss you girls!!).  That leaves 2 spots open, and who knows...if we have trouble narrowing it down, we might add one more! :)

Here's some info to help you see if you would be a good fit for our team:

  • The term is for one year, starting with the first challenge in January. 
  • There are 2 challenges per month, occurring on the first and third Tuesdays.  You will be required to create one paper-crafted project (card, layout, altered item, etc) based on the inspiration image for each challenge.
  • Since this challenge focuses on the most current runway fashions, you will typically only receive the inspiration image one month in advance.  This keeps each challenge as fresh as possible.
  • Occasionally sponsors send product for us to work with...a very fun perk!  You must be willing to use sponsored products in your projects
  • You will need to have an active blog, and be able to take clear photos of your projects.  If you need help with that, feel free to ask!

To apply please email me - ourchangeofart@gmail.com - with the following information (subject line: RIC DT):

  • Name
  • Blog url
  • Country you live in
  • A brief bio, including your experience and current design teams, if applicable.  If you have a crafting resume, you can add that/link to it as well.  Don't worry if you have not been on a DT before - previous experience is not necessary!
  • 2-4 examples of your best work.  We'd love to see what you can do!

We are an easy-going, yet professional and hard-working team :)


Applications are due Tuesday, December 10th (2 weeks from today) at midnight EST.  At that point the design team and I will review them.  The selected designers will be notified by the end of that week, and their first challenge with the team will be Tuesday, January 7th.

Good Luck!

ric#48 - Antonio Marras

Hello there, and welcome back to the Runway!  Before we announce the winners, I just wanted to let you know that our beloved Wida is stepping down from the design team.  Wida, you have been a supporter of the Runway Inspired Challenge from the very beginning- I think you entered pretty much every challenge, and your enthusiasm continued when we invited you to be a part of the team.  I want to thank you so much for being on the DT, and we are going to miss you!

Please make a special trip over to Wida's blog (you should anyway, because her cards are always awesome), and leave her some extra love!  Plus, be on the lookout for an announcement next Tuesday :)



Our Fabulous Fashionistas are:
Chupa
Alice Wertz
Kim Hamilton

We have another amazing guest line up for you today.  She is an incredible designer who melds the digital world with traditional card making.  Her work possess such a bold and artistic use of color, and I'm happy that I became friends with her through Paper Craft's Gallery Idol competitions.  Please help us welcome...


My husband, two kids, and I live in South Dakota. I’m an avid papercrafter, bright color lover, hybrid/digi chick, Brady Bunch watcher, non-fiction book reader, and expert Polly Pockets dresser. In my spare time, I work as a consultant for states on Federal education and special education programs. I’m currently on design teams for Glitz Designs Digital, CAS-ual Fridays Challenge, Newton’s Nook Designs, and Paper Smooches SPARKS. Thanks, Jen, for inviting me to guest! I’m always in awe of the inspiration photos and the design team’s cards.
