It is with sadness that we say goodbye to Design Team 2 for 6 months but we are also delighted to welcome back Design Team 1 to share their amazing talent with you. As you know we have two new members who, even though they shared some of their creations during the Mega Christmas challenge, are beginning their term here as full time members of the team today, so please take a moment to welcome Lis and Kimberly.

The design team have done a wonderful job and have created the following cards for your inspiration (please click on their names to visit their personal blogs):
