Exciting design team news this week - we would like to introduce two new team members, Mel and Rachel. We hope you'll give them a very warm welcome, we're delighted they've joined us.

This week its Rhi here to Dare you... and the theme is to do with our feathered friends!

(Are you remembering to feed them now it's chilly out)

Robins, love birds, cartoon birds, stamped birds, paper pieced birds, dingbat birds. Its up to you. I dare you to make a card with a bird or birds on, it doesn't have to be a real species, the more weird and wonderful the better!

Golden Highlights.

Have you missed me .... :D

Well Monday was a huge day for me this week.

As some of you may know, I have been off work for the past 8mths due to illness. Well this week saw the start of my fazed return to work.

I was very nervous, but glad to say all went well, and with school in-service days Thu-Fri, it was a nice short week - which I was very happy about, coz I was exhausted.

J has gone Christmas shopping with his Dad down to Manchester for the in-service days, so this gave me total peace to get stuck into Keryn's 'Golden Highlights' dare.

We also have the ultra talented Louly with us for the next couple of weeks as our Guest Designer.

I seem to have a liking for gold as an accent colour. So this week I'd like you to make a card for any season or occasion but must include gold somewhere. It could be a brad, metallic card, heat embossing, ribbon, anything at all as long as it's gold

........and CUT!!!!!!

What an amazing assortment of ribbon cards we've had this week - both for the main dare and the little extra.

Bea from Ribbon Oasis donated a prize for last Fridays dare, and the randomly picked winner is ............(insert drum roll)....................... Rosie. Congratulations this bundle of ribbony gorgeous-ness will be winging it's way to you very soon.

This week Tracie is setting the dare;

..... and Cut!!!

Any theme goes, so for those of you needing a break from Christmas crafting this is the perfect opportunity to have a change.

All styles are welcome but there MUST be an element of handcutting somewhere.

It could be a greeting, a shape, letters printed on your pc and handcut, anything goes as long as you did it by hand.
