Oh my guys im so excited about our new DT members and cant wait for you to meet them so here goes...

The dt spent a week looking at all your blogs and voting it was really hard but 3 stood out that bit more than others im afraid and the lucky gals are....
AprilI have been married to my high school sweetheart for 15 years,we have 2 wonderful children, a boy and a girl, we live in north carolina,we just seperated from the air force after 15 years and are happy to be settled at least for now,i have been crafting for 10 years now and have really branched out to su, I am in love with my copics and work hard learning how to use them, i love anything with glitz,glitter and jewels as you will see in my creations.
Carly



My name is carly and i am a 35 year old craft addict, i have a 2 year old daughter madalyn and a husband named steve,I do my creating at night once madalyn has gone to sleep,I have only been creating cards and colouring with copics for about 3 months but have been into craft since a young age such as cross stitch,drawing and calligraphy,in my adult years ive self taught knit and crochet, and then i found paper craft, i must admit to getting inks and stamps a few years ago but didnt do much with them, a friend introduced me to the world of digital images and copics and the rest is..well its on my blog

Natalie

I am a stay at home mum to three young children, and craft whenever i can,I have always been arty since i made my birth announcements for my eldest daughter about 8 years ago,I dont get an awful lot of time to get inky fingers and covered in glitter but im very possesive of the moments i do, i also like making the odd bit of jewellery and im keen to learn new things and meet new friends.

The current challenge is a sketch challenge as below, we have never done one of these before so i thought we should give it a try, so for this as long as the sketch is evident you can do whatever you like and use whatever stash you fancy, but remember to make sure we can still notice the sketch please,

Robyns fetish are our featured sponsors for this challenge and we have been honoured to use thier digital images in our cards,
