New DT members!

We’re sorry that we’ve kept you waiting so long for our new DT members to be announced but we were overwhelmed by the number of entries we had and it was an honour for us to visit all your blogs and see your amazing work. It was such a difficult decision and we could have chosen 50 new members lol! However we decided to invite the following two crafters to join our team:

** Lis **

and

** Kimberly **

I’m sure you will all give a big welcome to Lis and Kimberly and they will be joining in with our challenges starting on January 3rd 2012.

Thank you all for your interest and we will definitely keep you all in mind for our next DT call.

Hugs, Denise, Gina & DT x x

Week 128–sketch

Good morning dear crafters. We hope you had a fantastic week last week and are all getting organised for the big day. I cannot believe where the time has gone, it will soon be December 1st and after that it will all be over in a flash (I know Bah Humbug lol!). If anyone would like to start my Christmas shopping for me, it will be much appreciated haha!

We would like to thank everyone who entered our mini DT call. We’re sorry it has taken us so long to announce our newest members but it was such a difficult decision. We are going to keep you in suspense for just a little while longer though as we are going to let you know our decision in a few minutes time in a separate post – so stay tuned!!

The DT had a wonderful time visiting your blogs last week. You all seemed to enjoy Michele’s “swirls and sparkles” challenge and we had such gorgeous entries. Don’t forget to check back later to find out who Michele has chosen as her top 5 passionista and also to see if you are the lucky winner of the Promarker Stamping Kit courtesy of Letraset.

Our theme this week has been chosen by Tracy and she has given us an amazing sketch to use – you are free to rotate the sketch and make slight alterations but we must be able to recognise the sketch. Don’t forget to be eligible for our prize draw you must use your Letraset products on your project (i.e. promarkers, flex markers, tria markers or aqua markers).

Here is Tracy’s sketch:

Our sponsor this week is Sugar Nellie Stamps and one lucky winner will receive (prize to be confirmed)!

Week 126 - Theme

Good morning dear crafters. We hope you had a great week last week and are raring to go with our brand new challenge. Before we announce the details we would like to say how wonderful your entries were to last week’s '”kraft + 1 other colour” challenge. It was amazing to see how you all used your kraft card and the array of colours was fantastic. Don’t forget to check back later to find out who Julie has chosen as her top 5 passionista and also to see if you are the lucky winner of the 3 digi images courtesy of Some Odd Girl stamps.

Onto this week’s challenge and the lovely Lisa has set the theme and she has chosen “white on white”. You can have a coloured image but your background must be predominantly white. Why not try some embossing or textured paper for a different effect. Please remember you will only be eligible for our prize draw if you colour your images with either promarkers, flex markers, tria markers or aqua markers and of course follow the theme!

Our sponsor this week is DigiStamp Boutique and the lucky winner will receive 6 digi images from their store. Some of the DT have used Sally-Ann’s gorgeous images on their cards this week.
