Have you seen my blinkie?

In anticipation of my new challenge starting up at the beginning of December, I asked my husband (sorry web developer) to make me a blinkie. 

What do you think? To add the blinkie to your sidebar, just copy the HTML code from my sidebar and paste it into a 'HTML gadget' on your own blog.

Bye for now. Back tomorrow with some candy, yeah!

Drum roll please......

I said I'd announce my DT team today and here I am, better late than never!  I was really pleased and impressed with all the entries and had a jolly hard time deciding, but decide I did.  So without further ado ....

I'd really like to thank everybody who sent me their work or best wishes and to welcome all my new followers.  Our first challenge will be on 1st December so please come back and join in with us.

DT Call now closed

Thankyou to everyone who entered my DT call and those of you who left good wishes or posted about it.  I'm going to deliberate for the next few days and aim to announce my decision here on Monday.

I have a tough decision to make!

Woohoo! I'm looking for some DT members....

That's right I'm going to start setting a monthly challenge on my blog and would like to invite all my friends out there in blogland to come along and 'try out for the team' so to speak. Anyone interested should leave a comment on this post with a link to your entry. Remember we're interested in boys/mens cards. If you don't have a blog you can email me on dtcall@donnasden.co.uk. The closing date for entries is Friday 30th October 2009.

So, good luck everyone. I can't wait to see the responses and even if your not entering, please spread the word around. Thanks so much.

This post will stay at the top so scroll down for more recent posts.

Great Blog Candy! You won't want to miss this....

This wonderful blog candy is up for grabs over on Crafter's Kitchen.  I stumbled across it when following a blog hop for Digital Pencil which is one of my favourite sites/shops.  Go and check them both out, you won't be disappointed.

Paper Inspirations

I found this great card whilst blog-hopping this morning.  It's from Danielle over at Paper Inspirations and she has some more great cards for you to see.  I think she is absolutely right about this style of card being very suitable for men which is why I decided to show it here.

This gives you another view....

Have a look over on Danielle's blog for some more examples and a link to the card-fold instructions.

Have a great Sunday, everyone.

Boo!

I bet you thought I'd gotten lost, didn't you. I've had such a hard time keeping up with things these last few months. But hey, hopefully, we'll be better this time.

I've done this card for Challenge 4 - 3D Elements over at Crafty Cardmakers Blog which is a new blog (to me) that is excellent. It's ideal for novice and experienced crafters alike, the prizes are great and there are super tutorials to boot. I really recommend hopping on over for a look.

So, onto my card. the base is from a box of textured cards from DCWV that I stock over in my shop. The decoupage was a digi-download from Pollycrafts and the "Boo!" Brad is from a set of HOTP Brad Buddies which I love.

These Brads are great and I stock lots of them in my shop. Each pack has six large brads (two of each design) and you can see from my card they're a good size. Why not pop over now and take a look here?

Well, that's me done for now. See you soon. Why not take a look at my other blog to keep up to date with the goings on in my shop.
