Good morning Bloggers! Samantha here.  We have a new challenge for you this fortnight and Wilma is our host this time.  But first ...


I/we have some really great news about our new DT members.

Firstly thank you to all of you that applied to be an ABC Christmas challenge teamie! we were so thrilled so many of you applied, however it made our job difficult to choose we wanted to pick lots but we had to narrow it down to 3...

but as there were so many brilliant entries we had to choose 5 thehhehee! soooo the good news then... Our new teamies come with a wide range of styles and have a wealth of talent! So I won't hold you in suspense any longer...the five lovely new teamies we've chosen to join our happy DT family are:

Michelle Fiona Chris Emma Angela

YAY!
They can not wait to get started!
So I will hand back over to Wilma to tell you all about our
B challenge!!


Hi, Wilma here and I am your host for this challenge. 

Our new challenge is:

B for Bows or Boys.

You can choose which ever you like best, maybe both as long as it is Christmas themed.
It is still very cold here (the Netherlands), so the weather is perfect to make Christmas cards.

And how do you like our new layout? Beautiful isn't it? 
Thanks to Samantha.

Our fab sponsor's are: 

Bugaboo





And now the fabulous cards of the Design Team:

used Wild Rose Studio 'Nativity Play'
