May winners and our new DT

It's time to announce our May winners and also our new DT member and I must say a huge thank you to everyone who entered both the challenge and applied for the DT spot.

First our new DT member............the standard of entries was fabulous and I found it extremely difficult selecting the person to joint the team, so I called on my trusty DT members and asked for their ideas which did make life a little easier for me.

And after much deliberating I am pleased to announce that Clare has agreed to join the team and hope you will all join myself and the DT in welcoming Clare in board.

After all that, asking Mr Random Org., to select this months winners was a breeze and here are the names he came up with..............................

April winners and a DT call

Hello everyone, I nearly forgot to do this post with all the wedding excitment yesterday. I was only going to watch to see Kate arrive at the Abbey, but it was compelling viewing and I was glued from 9am onwards. Such a lovely day for them both and she looked wonderful.

So what happended in April, did we scare you all away with our colour theme ? Things were certainly a tad quiet but not to worry, we have a super new theme for you in May which I am sure will get your creative juices flowing.

Before I move on to announce this months winners, I am sad to say that Jules has decided to step down from the DT so this means we have a vacancy for a new Design Team member. If you are interested in joining us check back tomorrow when I will let you all know what you need to do to apply.

Now for this months winners:
