Hi, we are working on resolving the community blog issue.  Sorry for the inconvenience.

While the artist community blog is down, please post your April Design Challenge submissions here on this forum topic.
 
Remember the link should be to your card in the PUBLIC gallery, not a link to your card from your artist admin page. Your card must be approved by the review team before you are able to retrieve the link.
 
Entry Deadline: Sunday, April 30th  
 
If you have any questions on how to post your submission, please post your questions here on the forum.  We can reply or a GCU veteran Design Challenge artist can answer questions until the blog is back up.
 
Thank you for your understanding!
