Posting at the blogs of other DT members is not required, but is strongly encouraged. It means so much to hear kind comments on your projects and on your blog.
• Participate as much as possible in discussions at the blog, and group sites. The more others see us enjoying and creating the more they will want to be involved too.
• Participate in any design team discussions. Open communication is key. Please check in at the design team group to hear about any news and to support our group. This is the main area of communication.
• Only projects made with SI digis will be allowed on the SI Blog. This goes for entering a project at a challenge or making a tutorial. Even if the challenge is an "Anything Goes" challenge the Design Team should still be at our blog representing Shelly's Images.
• Design Team members are prohibited from selling their own digital stamp art. If you have plans to sell your own art then please do not apply to be a DT member at Shelly's Images. Anyone who is selling their own digital art will be dismissed from our Design Team.

We do use a "2 strikes and you are out" policy. If you download the image for a challenge and then don't supply a project for the challenge you will get an email warning after the first occurrence. You will be terminated from the team after the 2nd occurrence. Failure to complete a Design Team assignment on time will also result in a strike. These assignments are clearly listed at the DT Blog.

We want this hobby to be fun and enjoyable and not another chore. We do however depend on you turning in projects on time.
