Design Team Favourites for October

Greeshma Nithin #9 - Cicci is my favourite I loved the way she colored the background and the image. 

Dawn Morris #50 - Papper Plotter Lottas  -  I'm a OddBall fan... I really like her color choices and the background ink blending.

Claudia Martins #93 - Plony - the coloring and the lace, the layers, the delicacy, anyway, I loved everything in this project ... lol

Carole Jones #111 - J Atterbury Creations  - Jo Ann made a gorgeous centre step card with a charming, beautifully coloured image. The autumnal die cut leaves and flowers are the perfect embellishments

Monica Collins #134 - Bharati - I love the bright colors in the background and the added texture with the paste and the googly eye. Great coloring on the bird.

Ileana Artuffo - My favourite is #135 - Beatriz Blazquez Arraba - I love the image and design! Beautiful choice of colours and laces are wonderful! Gorgeous colouring!

Monika Kobus #160 - Ingunn -  Great colours and textures

Andree Crowe #166 - Beckie - A gorgeous exploding box. Pretty papers and a wonderful cake centrepiece. A fabulous personalised keepsake.

Monica Collins

 Sunshine Creativity

My name is Monica and I live in Fort Myers, on the southwest side of Florida. We have eternal summer and I love that. My first love in the crafting world is my set of Prismacolour pencils. Other than an occasional play with some Crayola watercolours or small set of watercolour pencils, my Prismas are my only colouring medium. I am inspired by colour and music and have been doing some form of both all my life. Papercrafting, fabric and yarn arts and mixed media are my favourite pastimes. Thank you for having me.

Dawn Morris

I'm a mother of 3 grown children and one beautiful grandbaby that I adore.

I love crafting, paper, fabric and glass that keeps my spare time thin.  

I love making things for the baby. 

Happy Crafting.

Hi all! I'm Greeshma, married and living in Bangalore with my husband and beautiful one year old baby. I love to make pop-up cards and explosion boxes and I sell them online. I keep trying new tricks and techniques and love to keep each of my projects unique.

Sadly, we have said goodbye to three DT members. Mary, Kerri-Ann, and Tabitha have had to step down due to personal commitments. We want to thank them for the time they spent with us and we wish them all the very best for the future.

That means we are now looking for two new DT members to join our friendly team. 

Previous experience is not necessary, but we do ask that you be willing to commit to a period of 6 months with the option to stay longer. As we are a monthly challenge this entails making just one project each month.

In order to join us you will need to :-

• Have a Blog
• Have a Facebook Account

Be prepared to :-

• Produce one piece of work each month using the sponsor's digi stamp, photograph it and blog it.
• Comment on entries to the CGE Challenge each month.

We have a lovely DT and it is a great one to belong to, so please consider joining us!

The DT Call will run for the month of August, with successful applicants joining us for their first Challenge in October.

If you have any questions please ask!

If you are interested in joining our team, please put DT after your name in the inlinkz or, if you prefer, email Carole at cardsgaloreencore@yahoo.co.uk

We look forward to hearing from you!

We hope you can find some crafty time this month and we look forward to seeing your entries!
