NOW this week we have a "What'eva" challenge but there is a reason for that . . . we are having a "DT CALL" along side our normal weekly challenge. Unfortunately Linds left us (big sobs) to concentrate on other things and we now have a vacancy, or possible vacancies (!), within the team to fill.

So, what does this mean . . . .

• once you have made your card, please link to it as normal on this post (Challenge Blog)
• next, please go over to the DT CALL POST which can be found HERE and formally register your interest for the DT position.
• All the details for the DT position can be found on that post too.

We also appreciate that applying for a DT position may not fit in with your life and work schedules, so we also want to offer GUEST DT positions to at least 3/4 people and if appeals to you, follow these instructions . .

• once you have made your card, please link to it as normal on this post (Challenge Blog)
• next, please go over to the GDT CALL POST which can be found HERE and formally register your interest for the GDT position.
• All the details for the GDT position can be found on that post too.

However if you are not interested in either position, please do still play along with us as we would love to see what your "What'eva" project is and the Fab'n'Funky DT have been creating their "What'eva's" too . . .

Have a great week everyone,

The Fab'n'Funky DT

Do you want to be on our DT?

Do you fancy joining the "Fab'n'Funky" challenge DT? If you do, why not apply for a position on our DT this week. We have several positions opening and you never know . . . "it could be you!"

What do I need to do?
Join in this weeks challenge putting DT after your name (when you use the Inlinkz system). All the DT will then visit you to have a good "ole nosy" at your blog ! Please ensure that in your post that you put down that you are 1] entering the challenge and 2] want to be considered for the DT position.

How long is the DT call running for?
The DT call will run from Wednesday 8th September until Sunday 12th September 2010 , 9pm (GMT) although the this weeks challenge does not finish until Tuesday 14th September, 10pm (GMT).

When will the winners be announced?
The winners will be announced next week, Wednesday 13th September 2010 and will begin participating in the challenges from Wednesday 20th September 2010.

When do the challenges run?
Our challenges run from Wednesday morning to the following Tuesday, finishing at approximately 10pm.

What will be required of you?
You will need to commit to participate in the weekly challenges using the theme set and any sponsor images provided. Your completed project will need to be uploaded to the Challenge Blog by Tuesday evening ready for the new challenge which is published on the Wednesday morning. You will also be asked to comment on the challenge entries (which we run on a rota system). Please not that the Fab'n'Funky DT strongly believe that everyone who enters our challenges should receive recognition from the DT for participating as we have a strong and loyal following.

Do I need experience?
In a word . . . " NO " ! We just want people who are enthusiastic, love to craft and are up for a challenge! If you are on other DT's that doesn't exclude you either but please do consider your work load when entering our DT Call.

Is there any financial reward?
Again in a simple word . . . " NO " ! We are very lucky however as many of our sponsors do supply us with their images &/or products in the weeks they sponsor.

How are the themes set?
The DT get together and come up with loads and loads of suggestions for themes. We then vote (as a DT) on all these suggestions and the Top 4 or 5 are then chosen as our themes for the following month. However . . . watch this space challenges goers out there ! ! ! There are times that the sponsor chooses the theme or alternatively we use the prize offered as the stepping point for our theme.

Anything else?
The DT is run as its own mini democracy and everything is openly discussed between us all. Any decisions affecting the challenge blog are agreed and acted upon as a team, so obviously we are looking for team players to join us.

So if you are interested, please do have "a go" as you never know. If you entered last time and were unlucky, please do not let this put you off entering this time around either as we have decided to appoint several GDT positions too. I know several people were approached about GDT positions after our last call . . please don't panic if you haven't heard from us because you will very soon ! Can't say anymore.

Now if you have any further questions that have not been covered in this post, please leave a comment below and we will answer your question(s) ASAP. Please do not leave a comment to apply for the DT position on this post as all requirements for the DT entries are at the beginning of this post.

Good luck everyone and as always, many, many, many thanks for your continued support, enthusiasm and participation in our weekly challenges.

Lou, Linds, Emma, Jenny, Ginny, Andrea, Jilly and Jenny

DT person(s) wanted!!!

Hi everyone,

We decided to do a separate post about the DT position(s) for Fab'n'Funky Challenges as we felt things maybe a little confusing when we crammed the information in our challenge post.

Ok where to begin . . . we are a small, friendly DT who democratically choose everything about the weekly challenges together. Previous DT experience is not necessary so please do feel that you cannot apply without this experience.

New challenges are posted every Wednesday morning and you will be required to post your completed project by the previous Tuesday night (at the latest). Most weeks the challenge blog has been generously sponsored by different companies and on occasion, we are issued with items from said companies to use in our own projects for that relevant week.

If you are interested in becoming one of our "Fab'n'Funky" family, please leave a link to your blog in the comments section, so that we can come and have a good nose . . . hee, hee, hee! Alternatively please contact us via email and we will endeavour to answer your questions ASAP. Please can we ask that you put "Fab'n'Funky" DT position in the subject line.

We are looking forward to getting to know you all better,

Lou, Andrea, Jilly and Ginny
