Hiya everyone,

There was no daily talent spot yesterday as it was a bank holiday and it was also my birthday so I felt I deserved a day off!  I got lots of new goodies both crafty and non-crafty and was very spoilt all day.  I'm actually going out for tea tonight as well which should be nice!

Anyhoo, todays featured card is this gorgeous Anniversary card made by

DT Call - Do you have the X-Factor?!?

Hiya everyone, 

The time has come for us to add to our Design Team and we were wondering if you would fit the bill.

Are you:-

Talented? 

Versatile?

Up for a challenge?

As part of the DT you will be required to make approximately 1 card/creation per month that you would also post on your own blog.  Apart from commenting on entries into the challenges - that is about it!

As a valued DT member you would get sent something from Joanna Sheen to work with for that specific challenge - it may be a set of stamps, it could be some ribbon or even some sheets of decoupage.  As you never know what you will get sent it makes it interesting (and sometimes challenging) to see what we all come up with!

If this sounds like something that you would be interested in please e-mail me directly on cheeky_monkey_24@hotmail.com - Please add a link to your blog in your e-mail

The closing date for entries will be 6pm Sunday 9th September. 

I will whittle down the entries and will post a list of shortlisted entries to this blog where I will ask our loyal followers and existing DT members to vote for who they would most like adding to the DT.  I will base the final decision on the voting process only!!!

The post will run for a 6 month period with a view to extend

Thanks for looking!

Totally sentimental

This time we want the main focal point of your card to be a sentiment of any kind.  That's not to say the card cannot have an image - just that the image must be secondary to the sentiment. 

As usual, the Design team has come up trumps with some fab samples to hopefully inspire you all.

 Wendy

 Sandra

 Alison

Paula 

Unfortunately we don't have Guest Designer for this challenge as the GDT picked never got in touch! :(
