Are you just like me, always short of birthday and x-mas cards?

Join me in my challenge to make at least 1 birthday and 1 X-mas card every 2 weeks. If you just want to do 1 card you're also welcome to enter.

Every other Monday I will post a sketch for you to follow.

Make a post with your card(s) on your blog with a link to this blog.

Then leave a link to your card with Mr. Linky, so we can all visit your blog and see your work. I'd love it if you also left a comment on the challenge post.

For every challenge there will be a small prize.

Drawing will be on the Monday when a new challenge is posted.

Have a lot of fun.

xoxo Karin

Our new DT-Members!!!

Goodmorning everyone,

a big appology for being a day late with this post.

Our internetprovider decided to do some maintenance on the network in our neighbourhood. Internet went off and on for the past 24 hours and they send us all a message that it will continue for another couple of days.

I want to thank everyone for entering our DT-Call, and boy did I have sleepless nights over this one. It was so very hard to pick just 3 ladies from all those great entries.

I wish I could pick you all, but having about 30 ladies on the team would be to much.

I'm not going to keep you waiting any longer now.

The 3 new DT-members for the JCBC are.....

Melissa

Andrea

Georgia

Congratulations ladies and welcome to our team.

We all looking really forward in working together to you and I know for sure that your cards will inspire a lot of ladies in creating the most beautifull birthday and christmas cards.

Please send me a email so I can get in touch of you for all the details.

And for all the ladies that haven't been choosen for the DT....

starting January 2010 we will start working with guestdesigners.

I'm offering all of you a spot in our guestdesigners team. Have to work out the details for that, but please send me a email for the details.

I hope you all have a great day,

Karin

DT-Call

Hi Everyone,

with only 7 ladies on the DT we thought it was time to expand our team with some new ladies.

We are looking for not 1, not 2 but 3 new DT-members.

If you are able to:

* create a christmas or birthday card once every 2 weeks

* create a sketch every once in a while

* take care of the whole challenge ( which means writing the text, creating a sketch by hand or computer, providing a small prize/or find a sponsor and posting the challenge)..

then you might consider to enter the DT-Call. The Call is open for everybody, so even if you don't have any DT experience we would love to see you entering the call.

Make a post on your blog with 2 photo's of your best work (doesn't have to be new work), and then leave a comment on this post with a direct link to that post.

The Call is open untill Friday November 20.

We will announce our new DT-members on Monday November 23rd.

We are looking forward in seeing all your applications.

Karin, Linda and the DT-members.
