DT-call over at Creatalicious

Hello crafters out there in blogworld!
Over at Creatalicious we're having a DT-call as a few of the older DT's had to leave us.  
Creatalicious Challenges

So we're looking for new DT members. We're 2-3 DT's short at the moment... So if you're interested in joining our lovely DT just add your name to the froggy at the end of the DT-call post and I will come around and check out your blog.

What do you have to do as a DT member at Creatalicious Challenges:

You need to create one project per month (sometimes we get images to work with) and comment on the entries (everyone has an allocated number). That's about it...

You don't need to have any DT-experience, you just need to have fun creating things.

This call will end with the year 2014  -  on December 31 at 11:55 pm (Middle European Time).

Looking forward to visit all your wonderful blogs!
