Welcome to...

... our new Creative Team.

I had a fantastic standard of applicants this time around and my decision was extremely difficult. I advertised that I needed to fill 6 places and actually filled 7, I just couldn't narrow it down any further.

Without further ado, I pleased to announce our Creative Team for February 2010 to July 2010 will be:

Charmane Koch

Chloe Nielsen

Crystal Bowman

Kim Jeffress

Lauren Bell

Malinda Gardner

Sarah Webb

I am sure you will agree with me that even from seeing these application layouts these girls are definitely inspiring. Click on each of their names and check out their blogs for even more inspiration.

CT Call Now Closed

Our CT has now officially closed as of late last night.

I have a very tough decision ahead of me as all of the entries are fantastic. I am going to be spending some time deciding over the next few days and all applicants will receive an email before Xmas day.

The announcement of our new CT members will be made on January 1st 2010.

Good luck to all those that applied and I can't wait to see who our new team will be.

December 15th Sketch

Not too many sleeps left until the man in red comes to visit. I hope that all of your Xmas plans are going well and you are looking forward to a festive season with family and friends.

I also hope that you get some time to relax and have a go at tackling our next sketch. Why not use those few days between Xmas and New Year that most of spend chilling to have a play in your craft space.

Our CT have done a fabulous job with this sketch.
