This week at DCMs You are being Dared to make a card that is inspired by 'All Things Media'. The dare has been set by our Gillian:
It's around us no matter which way we turn, and all designed to get our attention. Ads designed by graphic designers who know all the tricks & techniques to draw our eyes to the product in question. You only have to glance at a Newspaper quickly to read headings with 'Shock' titles & 'Clever' puns all designed to make you want to read what the article is all about!
Maybe you have been inspired by an Ad in a magazine, the colours or design that has been used. Or incorporate actual magazines & newspapers onto your card; maybe chop up letters (ransom note style) to create the sentiment
So grab that latest edition of your favourite Mag, or pick up your newspaper, because there is so much inspiration there, Just waiting for you to discover!
Oh! and just one more thing - the name of everyone who makes a card for this week's Dare will be entered into a little draw and the winner will find some goodies winging their way to them with love from the DCM - Good Luck Everyone!

Gorgeous cards ladies.
I have no heat at all tonight & will not be making a card, but I do have one I made about a year ago which does fit the bill. So if you will accept it, then this is my entry for this weeks dare.
I have no idea when I will get my heat back on & will no doubt be spending a fair bit of time sat in my warm bed until it is sorted!!!!
this is now two weeks & I have had all I can take. My friend is doing his best to get back to me but he has more work than he can handle due to disreputable workmen claming corgi registration & bodging jobs!!!
