Smile Please!


This week it's me (Jo) here to set the dare, but before I do we really must say a huge thank you to all who joined in with Zuzana's fantastic choice of colours  :)


This week, I would like everyone to...


Smile Please!
and to use a camera, or photo on your cards, or both or even a polarid style frame...

The team have created some beautiful cards to inspire you...

Colour Challenge November

Hello everyone! 
It's Zuzana here with this week's challenge.

First I want to say 'Thank You' to all of you who joined in Kathy's 'Let There be Light' dare last week.
Your cards were really beautiful.
Next, as this is the first challenge of the SEVENTH year of Daring Cardmakers Dares, can we also say a big Thank You to each and every one of you who've joined in with us over all these years - and of course, another Thank You to all the Guest Designers and Design Team members who've given such great inspiration since DCM started out. 
 It's been so much fun, and we hope it will continue to be so for quite a while yet!
Happy Birthday to Us!

 If you ever check out the links of those who play along with us over the weeks, you'll often see
Mirjam's
 name listed among them, so it's especially fab to welcome her as our 
brand new Guest Designer
We're thrilled that Miri has kindly agreed to spend the next couple of months playing along with us and we're sure you'll enjoy seeing her creations on our blog.
 
And now.....
As Halloween is past, along with all the nice autumnal colours and winter is running toward us
I decided to mix more of a bright palette for this month's colour combo

November Colour Challenge.

Here is my colour palette :

And here are the inspirations from our design team:

Let There be Light!

This week it's me (Kathy) here to set the challenge, but before I do we really must say a big Thank You for sharing all those wonderfully HAPPY cards for Keilly's dare last week - we definitely enjoyed a HAPPY tour around all the cards you linked.

On to this week now though...

You probably agree that on those bright "blue" days, Autumn is a beautiful time of the year  - but I really hate it when the days get short and the weather is so dreary that it never seems to be light at all.  Over here in the UK the clocks go back this weekend and that doesn't help my mood one bit! 
So....this week I'd like you all to help lighten and brighten things up a bit!
Let There be Light
You could use Candles, Lanterns, Fairy Lights. celebrate Diwali
 or other Festivals of Light. Or maybe make a card to announce a 
great idea - you know; a "Lightbulb moment"!
Oh..and...would you believe that this is Dare 52 of DCM Year 6:- so if you want to make a card featuring a nice big birthday cake with candles on then that would be perfect, wouldn't it?, hehe

The team have, as usual produced some "brilliant" cards this week which we hope will help inspire you.  Sadly this is Kate's last week with us as our Guest Designer - but we hope she'll come back and play with us again soon ;).  Thank you Kate for being such a fab GD - it's been a total pleasure sharing your work on our blog.
 
Now over to you, have fun!

'Don't Worry, Be Happy'

Thanks to everyone who joined in with Leo's challenge last week and shared some beautiful Spooky Spiders with us, we loved visiting your blogs.

It's Keilly here with this week's challenge and hopefully it'll be an easy one...

'Don't Worry, Be Happy'


I'd like you to make a card / project containing some 'happy', whether you choose a sentiment such as Happy Birthday or Happy Christmas, or a card that has a happy theme to it!

Don't forget to post and share your link so we can come see what you've made.
