Playing Guidelines

We are a monthly crafting challenge blog welcoming lots of creation types! This is an offset almost month-long challenge period. 

==>> Starting March 15, 2025, challenges will go live at 12:00 AM Central Time/Chicago on the 15th of the month and close at 12:00 AM Central Time on the 12th of the following month.


*Bragging rights: Our spotlight winner, spotlight runner-up and top picks are chosen on merit. For February 15-March 13, 2025, the entire DT of 6 members ranked their top 7 choices then multiple voted choices' rankings were weighted to determine which entry got the gold wings, silver wings or a top pick mention(s)  on the 15th of the month along with details of the new challenge. Starting with #92 results for March 15-April 12, 2025, DT members will rotate turns ranking their top 7 entries. It could be more than 7 depending on volume of entries. Each challenge will have a spotlight winner and a spotlight runner-up. Then top pick mentions' numbers will vary depending on the total numbers of entries: 79 or fewer will have 3; 80-95 entries will have 4 picks; 96-110 entries will have 5 picks; 111-125 entries will have 6 picks; 126-140 entries will have 7 picks; etc.
