Onto the new challenge, which has been set by Lorraine C. from Team 1, and she has given you a fun theme of ‘use die cuts’.  Lorraine C. doesn’t mind what you make this week as long as you include some die cuts in addition to your coloured image.  Such a simple theme this week and we cannot wait to see all your gorgeous entries.  Don’t forget you can enter any type of creation it doesn’t have to be a card.  The only rule we have is use your markers and have fun!

Our generous sponsor this week is brand new to us this year at PFM - Alex Syberia - and they are offering one lucky winner a £10.00 gift card to spend in their online store (only applies to digital products: digital stamps and cut files).  All of the DT have used images from Alex Syberia Designs on their cards this week.

DT call

We’ve decided to run the DT call for one more week just in case anyone missed it last week.  Here is a re-cap of what we are looking for:

* You will need to have excellent colouring skills using markers of course!

* You will need to have a blog and update it regularly, at least once a week.

* You must be able to commit to creating at least one card every fortnight.

* You must have a Facebook account (or be willing to join Facebook) as this is where all the information for the DT will be located.

* You must be able to comment on your allocated number of entries (we have a commenting rota in place).

* Most importantly if selected you can start creating for us straight away.

If you feel you meet all the above then please add DT after your name and we’ll pop over for a look. If you would like more information please feel free to email us (but please don’t apply by email). We will review everyone who has expressed an interest and announce the lucky new DT member very soon. 

We hope you have a great week.

Hugs, Denise, Gina and DT x x
