Tearing Purple Holes for Christmas

Another Friday already, the year is just zooming by don't ya think.

I'm having serious withdrawl symptoms this week, as we have been having internet problems ..... ISP's just didn't seem to get how serious it is for us crafters to be able to get online ANYTIME we want .... grrrrr!!!

This weekend will see another DCM wedding.

Wayne will be making an honest woman of Tracie - our very own Bondgirl.

Wishing you both the best for your wedding tomorrow, and your lives together are filled with lots of love and joy.

After my haircut this week - I was booking my next couple of appointments, when the hairdresser said two haircuts until Christmas ...... 8o hehehehehe!!

Which leads nicely to this weeks team dare.

We have the fabby Paula Pixie joining us as our latest Guest Designer.

Paula has been with the blog right from the start, and as it's coming up for the DCM first birthday, she is a perfect choice.

Well, the time has come for our first Christmas card dare of 2007.

But as loads of you have already shown some fab Christmas cards on your blogs, we thought we'd make things a little more Daring, interesting, tricky or downright mean - depending on your point of view!

So, we'd like you to make and show a Christmas card which incorporates the following:

Some Paper Tearing
The colour Purple
AND
It has to have at least one hole somewhere in the design!

......BUT by "hole" we don't just mean the sort of hole you poke a brad through, or the holes you make for/with stitching - or even the hole you make to put an eyelet in - although you can use all those techniques too if you want.

We want you to be a bit/lot more inventive and creative than that, and we think you'll be able to come up with some wonderful ideas for making cards to fit this recipe.

**CuttleBug Snowman Die**
**CuttleBug Frame Embossing Folder**



**DCWV Christmas Stack PP**
**Sizzlits Chrismas Crown Die**
This was also done for one of the new challenges over on Bex's Forum.

Remember to leave a comment on the Daring Card Makers Blog so we can hot-tail it over to see your creations.

We do visit every Blog and try to leave as many comments as possible. There are just so many that we can't all leave a comment - we hope you understand.

You can still join in the fun if you don't have a Blog, just send a Photo/scan to the team at;

daringcardmakers@hotmail.co.uk

and your creation will be added to our Gallery for all to see.

I'll leave you with this little gem from one of the Design Team ......

"if I put Baby Jesus on my card, will that be "Holey" enough?"

Mwahahahahahahahaha!!!!!! :D

Any idea who said it ..... ?
