This week we continue with the next in line of our Birthstone dares and anyone who has a birthday in February will already know that means Amethyst, but before you rush off and get busy we also have some exciting news for you……
First of all we say a sad farewell to our lovely Caz, who's been such an inspiring Guest Designer throughout the month of January, Thank you so much Caz, we'll miss you.
The new month, however sees the return of not one but two of our past Guest Designers - we thought it was about time we asked back some of those who've inspired us over the last few years in their Guest designer spots, so please say a big "Welcome Back" to
We're thrilled to bits that you've both agreed to come and show your fabulous creations on the DCM Blog again.
Secondly, as you may have noticed we don’t often have prizes on our blog.
This is because we firmly believe it should be about the fun of playing along rather than winning something that motivates us. But a little extra temptation to join in never goes amiss and we do welcome offers of prizes and sponsorship as they do give us all a bit of encouragement!
So,this week the lovely Brenda and David from Craft Obsessions have donated this wonderful Martha Stewart Butterfly Punch and Stamp set as a prize and let me tell you, most of the DT is wishing they could be in with a chance of winning it because it’s fabulous
All we ask in return for being in the draw and having a chance of winning it is that you give both Craft Obsessions and the Daring Cardmakers a mention on your blog and that the card you make is linked
with no more than three other challenges.
The winner will be drawn at random and announced next Friday.
Oh yes…… word is there’s also lots of new goodies arriving from CHA any day soon so that’s got to be worth a visit! Please click on the Logo and visit Craft Obsessions, where you’ll be greeted with a warm and friendly welcome.
So off you go, you can use anything you like be it papers, gems, buttons, whatever comes to hand as long as the Amethyst stone is the theme
Don’t forget to leave us a link so we can come and see your creations.
Here are a few examples from the team to help get your creative juices flowing.
