bring on the sunshine... it's a play date colour splash!

Colour splash challenges are our most popular and Julie's chosen us a great colour to work with in these dark wintry days - YeLLoW!  

I had a lovely surprise when I picked up the 7 gypsies music paper [Kilburn] from the Paddington range - it's black and white with a splash of yellow :) [Available in the UK at The Stamp Attic].  I used my new die by Joy, from a new little craft shop I found in Chorlton, to cut the butterflies on a paper ribbon.

A rectangle of cuttlebugged paper, some lace and pearls and my card was done!  One of the quickest I've made but I'm really pleased with it!  Don't forget to check out the inspiration from the rest of our design team

and head over to the Play Date Cafe  for info on the announcement of our new design team - woo hoo!  It was so, so hard to choose just 6 of you, we were inundated with fantastic submissions.  Thankyou to everyone who applied, and congratulations to our new team :)  We will be introducing them to you in the run up to Christmas next week :)

I can proudly announce...

that I've got a place on my first design team :) :) :)  And I get to announce first as I'm in the UK and ahead by 6 hours :)  Julie, over at the Open Window, has set up a weekly 'play date' for us.  The challenges will be posted each Thursday and I'll host once a month [but will publish a sample each week so you're guaranteed to see something new here once a week at least ;)]  The other DT members are really nice and I hope you'll join in with our challenges.

Hee hee, I'm so excited!!  Julie's brilliant at organising things, and makes great cards etc so I know she'll have lots of fun planned :)
