The group of friends who got together to form the Daring Cardmakers back in October 2006 has developed and grown into a huge circle of crafting and blogging friends who come together from all over the world to share their inspiration and their talents so enthusiastically, and are always so supportive of each other's cardmaking.In honour of all of you who've helped make this blog so successful, and such a friendly place to "play" we've decided to revisit our very first dare for this our first anniversary, but with a twist.The subject is, as in our original dare "friends", but this time the title is
CIRCLE of FRIENDS
and we'd like you to incorporate at least one circle into your card.
It would make it a very special occasion if for this dare you'd make a card just for the DCM rather than doubling up with other challenges.Please join in and celebrate our first anniversary with us, without all of you - our wonderful extended "Team of Darers" and of course all those who've joined us as Guest Designers over the last year it wouldn't be half as much fun.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DARING CARDMAKERS ALLI used my Making Memories eyelet tool to cut all the litle cirlces, there are three different sized heads - I knew they'c come in useful one day!
I stuck a piece of pink vellum on the inside to show through the holes.
The flowers are cut from various papers including:
3 Bugs in a Rug
Daisy Bucket
Me & My Big IdeasOther Supplies:
Cats Eye chalk Inks
Glossy Accents
Stickles Glitter Glue
Bazzill Bling card
It's been an amzing year. I'm sure my cardmaking has improved and I'm certainly doing a lot more "serious" crafting than Iused to!
I absolutely love being part of the DCM and yet again want to thank Jane for her fab idea and for all her hard work making it happen. A lot has changed over the year but one thing remains the same - the DCM started off as a great circle of friends who made cards, and we still are - it's just that the circle has grown so much BIGGER!
And finally, a Great big thank you to those lovely people who've nominated me for a smile award - much appreciated and I'll be passing this on really soon
Here's where I share the things I've been making. If you like anything you see, or would like me to make something special for someone special, just ask - use the 'contact me' button in the side bar.
