Haberdashery Department Dare.

Look what happened to us yesterday. A mad golfer hit our windscreen with a golf ball as we were driving along the main road in town yesterday.

If the windscreen wasn't there it would have smacked me right between the eye's.

But all was fine - well the golfer was in a worse state than us ........ poor guy.


Now let's get on with the good stuff ..... IT'S DARE TIME!!!!!!!! and it's Gillian's turn.

G'day all, Gillian here, and it's my turn to dare you all this week


Your card can be any theme you like, just as long as it's got something you'd find in a Haberdashery Department on it


Alright then, grab that old sewing basket of yours or raid your sewing machine drawer, have a look at what creative bits are hidding away there....maybe it's buttons, a zip, hook & eye's, ribbons, braids, Dressmaking patterns, tape measures,Pins & Needles, lace, safety pins or embroidery thread....


so many wonderful little treasures just waiting to be added to your next card :O)


I'm going to add one more rule....


Yes you may stitch on your card, but that can't be your only haberdashery item....


We have Donna joining us for the next couple of week's as our new Guest Designer, so a big'Hi' to her.

I found this really 'challenging'. I did start off doing two baby cards - but ended up with this.

The flowers are gingham material. I've also used embroidery threads, tassely stuff and some buttons (hand stitched on) and my beloved Sewy.







Remember to leave us a comment on the DCM Blog and we'll all head over to checkout your amazing creations.

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 we'll add it our Gallery for all to see.

Have FUN!!!!!!

It makes you realise how lucky you can be when something like that happens & really gives you a bit of a shake.
