These projects need to be placed in SOD/ SOE galleries, blogs, scrapbook.com, and any other public galleries you participate in.

We want you to be you! Show us your shabby chic, your elegant, your girly grunge. Whatever style you lean towards is how we want to get to know you.
Tell us why you think you would be a good addition to either the SOD or SOE team.
Provide links to blogs and galleries and any resume you may have.
List all of your current DT commitments. Please note our designers may not design for or in any way advertise another kit club. We have no problem with our DT members designing for manufacturers, sketch sites, local stores etc. It is counterproductive however to have them promote our competitors.
