This week I have some fun news to share with you and will get to our new challenge in just a moment.  A big thank you to everyone that applied to our DT call, I would like to introduce to your our new members:

Eva Marie Tronstad

I'm a 33 year old (young) mum of three little princesses. I live in the middle of Norway and have been papercrafting on and off since 2000. But it was in 2009 I got realy hooked and joined crafting forums and started to develop and discover the art for real.. I like to try out different folding techniques and styles. I don't think I fit in a special style, I like to try out everything, but I do alot of shabby chick. I love to color with distress both re-inkers and markers.

You are very welcome into my blog - Eva Maries Univers 

Lisa Minkler

A little bit about me.  My name is Lisa Minckler, nickname Bird, and I currently reside at Whiteman AFB in Missouri with my military hubby and our two fantastic teenagers. My hobbies are folding laundry, organizing dust bunnies and stamping! No not at all,...but I do love the stamping and crafting bit.  I can't ever seem to get enough inspiration from all the blogs I visit around the world and I honestly think that crafters are just the coolest people around. I truly cannot wait to meet more interesting and creative people here at Dutch Dare! 

Caz

My name is Caz,  nickname Bunny in blogland.

I've been crafting now for nearly 2 years now, Ive tried bobbin lace, like crochet and x stitch, then a lovely long time good friend got me into card making,  and found i love it..

Im london born n bred but now  live in Nottingham, England, have done so now for nearly 18ys..I do not work  So have plenty of time for my hobby..Have 3 grown children, all flown the nest..And 4 lovely grandchildren..Oldest being 20 youngest 3....

Helen Parrott

My name is Helen Parrott. I'm 44 years old and happily married to Ted. I have 2 daughters (aged 18 and 20) and live in a Lincolnshire village called Keelby. I've dabbled with card making for a few years on and off until I was introduced to blogging in February of this year, and now I'm addicted! I love bright colours and have recently invested in some copics, which I'm really enjoying using. I often use the name Ellie Wee when I'm blogging. This is a nickname I gave myself as a toddler.... I'm thrilled to be joining the team

Vicky Fortier

I'm an accountant working full time and a mother of 4 great kids.  I have an amazing husband who understand that in order to keep my sanity through all this I need to craft ;) I live in Quebec, Canada, so a lot of my crafting is done with French sayings.

I have been crafting over 21 years and tried my hands at all kinds of techniques over the years.  I'm new to the blogging world. I have started blogging in March in order to join challenges.  I became totally hooked!!!!  I can't believe this world existed and I only found out about it now.  I see blogging as a wonderful opportunity to improve my card making abilities.

I have realized that through the web I get to meet amazing people from all over the world and learn from them.  I'm in awe of all the wonderful blogs that I see and I hope that one day my blog will be up to that level.

I am so very excited to have these ladies joining my team here at Dutch Dare and know you will welcome them as well!

So onto this weeks challenge and sponsor.  We have the lovely Di's Digis back as our sponsor this week and one lucky winner will receive their choice of 5 digis from Di's shop.  She releases images every week and they are some of my very favorites!  Yes I'm a wee bit biased but I do love them and know you will too!

Congratulations Tracy!  You are our lucky winner of 3 digis from The Stamping Boutique.  Please email me to claim your prize.

I would like to welcome back Digi Doodle Shop as our lovely sponsor this week.  They have dontaed a $10 gifft voucher to the store!  There are so many fantastic images available and such a wide selection of categories too!
 
Here's a wee note from Digi Doodle Shop:

Digi Doodle Shop is the results of a mother and daughter’s love for the arts and crafts.  It was started a little over 3 years ago with a little more than 100 stamps, and has since then grown to almost 500 stamps.  Joy (the mother of this team) designs realistic images, while Judy (aka/daughter) loves the “fun side of life”, and create images with a cartoon flair.  Having these two complimenting styles have enabled

Digi Doodle Shop to offer a wide variety of stamps.

It is a real honor and pleasure to sponsor this challenge, and we look forward to seeing all the amazing creations.  We thank the design team for their incredible creations, and wish all the participants the very best of luck in this challenge.

Thank you so much for having us, and again the very best of luck to all of you.

Sincerely,

Judy and Joy

Our team has also been given some fabulous digis to work with for our creations this week, thank you!

Our challenge for you this week is Furry Friends.  We want to see creations featuring your favorite furry friens-dogs, cats, horses, whatever you consider a furry friend, we'd like to see what you make featuring that critter!
