It's been a busy and exciting few weeks for certain Design Team members and here we are, just a couple of weeks after Rhi's wedding and it's now Tracie's (Bondgirl) turn; on Saturday she will be walking down the aisle to marry her prince...
We're sure you'll want to join with us as we wish Tracie and Wayne a wonderful day and every joy and happiness for their lives together.

Well, the time has come for our first Christmas card dare of 2007.It's been a busy and exciting few weeks for certain Design Team members and here we are, just a couple of weeks after Rhi's wedding and it's now Tracie's (Bondgirl) turn; on Saturday she will be walking down the aisle to marry her prince...
We're sure you'll want to join with us as we wish Tracie and Wayne a wonderful day and every joy and happiness for their lives together.

But as loads of you have already shown some fab Christmas cards on your blogs, we thought we'd make things a little more Daring, interesting, tricky or downright mean - depending on your point of view!
So, we'd like you to make and show a Christmas card which incorporates the following:
Some Paper Tearing
The colour Purple
AND
It has to have at least one hole somewhere in the design!
......BUT by "hole" we don't just mean the sort of hole you poke a brad through, or the holes you make for/with stitching - or even the hole you make to put an eyelet in - although you can use all those techniques too if you want.
We want you to be a bit/lot more inventive and creative than that, and we think you'll be able to come up with some wonderful ideas for making cards to fit this recipe.
We'll leave it to you to guess which team member said "if I put Baby Jesus on my card, will that be "Holey" enough?"
We'll leave it to you to guess which team member said "if I put Baby Jesus on my card, will that be "Holey" enough?"
We're very happy to welcome Paula aka Mini-book Pixie as our Guest Designer for the next couple of weeks. Paula has joined in pretty much every dare since the DCM started, and it's especially fab that she's agreed to come and be our GD as we're now in the run up to our first anniversary. We're looking forward to seeing your Torn, Holey, Purple Christmas creations so please come back and let us know when you've made your card and where we can see it.

Congratulations Tracie. Hope you have a fabulous day! Make sure that you enjoy being the centre of attention and princess for a day!
Great cards girls! I want to go home and start mine now, but hey, ho! Work to be done.....
Congrats Tracie and Prince Wayne.
Great cards one and all. I can't believe I blogged a torn purple Christmas card this morning. No holes though so I guess I will have another try.
Great cards from the DT :)
Oooh you girls do like to make us darers think don't you :)!!!
Well done Paula, love the card and congratulations on being guest designer :)
Oohh..you have made me break my unwritten rule..never make Christmas cards before November! Though I have to admit that rule tends to be because of laziness rather than anything else! My purple creation can be seen on my blog..thought I'd get a head start this week as I left it so late last challenge!
Aww, congratulations Tracie!! Have a fabulous day!!
Love the DT cards, well done on being Guest Designer Paula :)

One from me too this month - holes are the stars which are punched out of the purple and layered over holographic papers although this doesn't show that well in the photie

My initial reaction was panic - but I really enjoyed myself. Thanks for this challenge.
