This is an excellent example of a more is more card - there's nothing clean and simple about this!  Lol - It's so pretty and everything that is there works really well!  To see more of Bonnie's card you can visit her blog here.

You may also notice that I have added a tutorials/information page along the top.  This contains a stamping for beginners guide which has been put together by our DT member Jane.  I will be adding to this throughout the year!  Any feedback etc will be gratefully received as this is something we are hoping to build on to give you a database of information to keep popping back to!

DT Call!!! ENDED

Hiya Everyone,

I have some very exciting news for you all.  There are going to be some slight changes to the challenge blog so we need to take on 1 (and only 1) new permanent DT member!

Ideally, the perfect candidate will be a versatile, talented crafter who will have a blog that they update on a pretty regular basis.  You will be required to make and blog approx 1 card per month using Joanna's wonderful products.

How does that sound?!?  Too good to be true?  Well, it isn't.  You could join our amazing DT simply by adding your name and blog URL to the comments to this post.  It isn't going to be an easy decision as we only need 1 person and we expect to get a LOT of interest but if you are interested please enter.  I know only too well that if you don't enter something - you just never know!

I will keep this DT call open until Thursday 15th March and will hopefully announce the lucky person on Saturday 31st March.

Thanks for looking!
