Week 672–sketch (& DT call!)

Good morning lovely crafters, we hope you had a great week last week and enjoyed the first challenge of the year. Thank you for all your gorgeous entries for our ‘new’ challenge; it was so lovely to have you join us and as always the DT had a wonderful time visiting your blogs and seeing your amazing creations. Don’t forget to pop back later to find out who won the 3 digi images courtesy of The Paper Shelter and also who Julie has chosen as her Top 5 Passionista.

Onto the new challenge, which has been set by me (Denise) on behalf of Team 2, and I have given you a lovely ‘sketch’ to use. This week I thought we would have a change and have a sketch to follow; no other rules, except use your markers and have fun. We hope you enjoy using the sketch and we cannot wait to see what you create. Don’t forget you can enter any type of creation it doesn’t have to be a card.

Here is the sketch:

Our generous sponsor this week is Polkadoodles and they are offering one lucky winner 3 digi images of their choice from their online store. All of the DT have used images from Polkadoodles on their cards this week.

The design team have worked their magic once again this week and have created beautiful cards to inspire you (please click on their names to visit their personal blogs):

Another great week of wonderful inspiration from the DT!! We hope you can join in with our challenge this week and we look forward to seeing what you create. If you haven’t already, don’t forget to grab our logo from the sidebar for your own blogs.

DT call:

Sadly Lisa G. from Team 2 has decided to step down from the DT so we are looking for a new team member to join Team 2. There are a few conditions that you would need to fulfil to be successful:

* 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 probably keep the call open for next week’s challenge also so there is plenty of time to get your name in the hat. If you know of someone that may be interested then please let them know about the call.

We hope you have a great week.

Hugs, Denise, Gina and DT x x
