Welcome Guest Designers!
I'm thrilled to have you contributing to our Lost Coast Designs and Carmen's Veranda blog events and LCD/CV Facebook Fan Group activities!
Everything you need to know about serving as a LCD/CV Guest Designer is provided below.
Your GDT involvment is managed in two places, our secret LCD GDT blog and Facebook group. GDT sign up for our events and stay in contact with me on the Facebook group and you upload your completed GDT projects to our GDT blog: https://guestdtforlcd.blogspot.com
If you have any questions please don't hesitate to post on the Facebook group or Facebook message me or email me at LeighSBDesigns@cox.net
GDT PERKS
GDT earn free rubber stamps based on the quality/quantity of the projects you make. I will let each GDT member know when they qualify to receive free rubber stamps for use in our upcoming events and how many you can pick. You will then provide me with a list of the stamps you'd like to use and I will submit your requests for you. PLEASE NOTE: Europe based GDT are limited to only receiving their stamps approximately 3-4 times a year when Lost Coast Designs is oversees for international shows due to the cost of mailing heavy rubber. Your stamps can either be picked up at the oversees conventions or they will be mailed to you from there so some coordination and planning is involved which I will discuss with you when you qualify to receive more stamps. Once you receive free rubber stamps we expect you to create GDT projects using them. Please do not disappear the second you get them as this will negatively impact our being able to have this GDT program for you!
PLAYING IN LCD CHALLENGES
GDT are welcome to enter their "none Event" projects into LCD's monthly blog Challenges and be in the running for our prizes which is a fun way to expand your LCD/CV stamp collections! Our monthly blog challenges start on the 1st Monday of every month and end on the 25th. You don't have to use LCD/CV stamps to play in our challenges but the more you can the better coz using LCD/CV stamps doubles your chances of winning the prize.
PLEASE NOTE: GDT can not enter our Events, not even the ones you don't create for and please DO NOT enter the projects you made for our Events into our monthly blog Challenges either!
BLOG BADGES
Please grab the 3 blog badges located in the GDT blog sidebar and display them on your personal blogs.
Please link your GDT badge to the Lost Coast Portal to Creativity blog, our Lost Coaster's Review DT blog badge to that blog and LCD/CV Official Facebook Fan Group badge to the FB group. Links are provided below and the badges are linked to the relevant locations in the sidebar too.

GDT REQUIREMENTS, DUTIES AND GUIDELINES!
The basic GDT info provided in our DT Call was as follows:
If you are unable to commit to 6-12 month DT terms or are based in Eruope then being a Guest Designer might be right for you! Guest designers are invited to create projects for our varied activities hosted on our Lost Coast Portal to Creativity event and challenge blog and Facebook Fan group. We are looking for stampers who already have a few of our Lost Coast Designs or Carmen’s Veranda stamps that you can use initially and then you will earn free rubber stamps based on your projects made for future guest spots. Details will be discussed with you individually.
So here's everything you need to know!
For private communication please contact with me via Facebook messenger or email at LeighSBDesigns@cox.net. I do prefer Facebook messenger which is more reliable and I'll be able to reply faster too.
Your projects will be featured on our Lost Coast Portal to Creativity event and challenge blog and soon we will start hosting activities on our Facebook Fan group too.
Our blog Events Calendar can be found on both the secret GDT Blog and in the Files of the GDT FB group.
EVENT SIGN-UPS
In the Files section you will also find our Event Sign-Up doc listing all upcoming events.
Please edit the doc and put your name down for the events that you want to create for. The sooner you sign-up the better so I know how many projects I can count on when organizing the events.
If you wish to contribute more than one project to an event then please put the number next to your name when you sign-up. For example: GDT Name: Jane (2)
Each GDT must create ONE post for their event project uploads on the GDT blog.
Call the post "PATTI'S PROJECTS" for example. Add all of your event projects to that one post using the format provided and put all new projects at the top of the post. Edit your posts, save and publish them each time you add a new project.
1. EVENT project is for
2. YOUR NAME
3. TITLE OF PROJECT
4. TYPE OF PROJECT i.e.: card, ATC, etc
5. YOUR BLOG URL
6. STAMP DETAILS with LCD/CV WEBSITE LINKS:
If you can't find the stamp on the website then put a note with this info and I'll look into it!
7. PROJECT PHOTO(s) - one good front view photo is preferred. Additional photos showing details/close-ups, etc are welcome too!
Please have your projects uploaded to the secret GDT blog by the deadlines provided.
If you sign up and then discover you can't make for an event then please let me know ASAP and also update the sign-up doc! Our events will be counting on your participation once I've set up the post schedule for the blog.
Your projects will be featured during our events and I will post the schedule on the group and provide the dates I will feature your projects on.
SHARING YOUR PROJECTS
Please blog your projects on your personal blogs on the same dates I feature them or within a few days after, NOT BEFORE! Please display our event promo badges in your blog sidebars to promote the upcoming event and then include them in your posts. You will find the promo badges in the sidebar of the Lost Coast Portal to Creativity blog. Please also share the link to the Lost Coast Portal To Creativity post featuring your project on social media and promote our events far and wide!
YOUR GDT PROJECTS
You are free to create whatever you want for your GDT projects: cards, ATCs, tags, mixed media, altered art, mixed media, etc, as long as they follow the event theme.
Please use ONLY Lost Coast Designs or Carmen's Veranda (or a combo of both) for your GDT projects, don't use images or digis by other companies!!!! The exception to this rule are sentiment stamps, if you absolutely need to use a sentiment to complete your project then you may but try and utilize Lost Coast Designs' Word sets, Dictionary sets and Alphabets when you can. You can also hand write your own or use stickers, label makers etc.
CONVENTION BOOTH DISPLAYS
If you make 2D projects like cards, tags and ATCs then we'd love to show off your art at our convention booths during our USA and Europe shows. Please mail your flattish/light/none bulky projects to: Lost Coast Designs, 5310 East Granite Point Drive, Spokane Valley, Washington 99212
Please let me know ASAP if something comes up that will effect your GDT participation or if you need to step down as a GDT!
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions!
Now let's get inky ;0)
