Anything Goes.

New DT Members
We are very pleased to introduce 2 new DT members. Both are very talented crafters and card makers and we can't wait to see the inspiration they bring to our challenge blog. 

Firstly we have Cass Stromboli:

Hi, I'm Cass. I live in Glasgow, Scotland with my hubby, 17 year old son and crazy dog, Ollie. I was a nurse but now work in a local primary school a few days a week.
I've been crafting in some form since a child, but took up scrapbooking after my son was born in 2003. This progressed to card making which is my main form of crafting now. I have a fabulous log cabin in my garden which is my craft room and is known as the Crafty Cabin.
Outwith crafting, I'm a rock chick at heart and have been a huge rock music fan since I was a teenager. I'm also a bit of a geek chick too.



And next we have Susan Moffat:

I’m Susan. I live in Glasgow, Scotland with my husband and two teenage sons. I’ve dabbled in a lot of crafts since I was a wee girl. One of my earliest memories is asking my Dad for a colouring book if he’d been out shopping! My mum tried, in vain, to teach me how to knit and crochet. However, none of these things were successful and the wee girl who liked colouring won out. Who would have thought that all these years later I’d still enjoy colouring in! 
If I’m not crafting, you can either find me on the sofa reading or in the kitchen baking and usually listening to music which varies from rock music to songs from the shows! 

A very warm welcome to the team Cass and Susan!

Now onto this month's challenge:
