Welcome, one and all. Lovely to see you here with us. We hope you like what you see. All the artwork is down to Sam and we are indebted to her for her patience as we pushed and pulled a zillion suggestions at her (not really so many but it felt like it at times).
We do hope you will enjoy the themes we have come up with, and hope that they challenge you at times, and lie within your comfort zone at other times and to this end we hope we get lots of you joining in with us - afterall you have two weeks to produce something and there will always be ideas from us for you to bounce off, either in words or pictorially.
Your comments will always be taken on board so don't be afraid of suggesting something to us or asking us to explain something to you. We want this to be a friendly, happy blog where you all feel welcome and enjoy our company. We do have to have rules and we have thought long and hard about these so please read them carefully and there will be logos for you to put on your blog because each month we will have a winner and runners up for that month.
Prizes? Yes, we will have prizes for the winners but more about that in another posting. Periodically we will have a Guest Designer, someone we invite along to give another view on what we are doing.
Well, enough of the chatter now, have a look around our blog, press a few buttons and see what we have done but most of all join in with our very first challenge which is ......... Make a TAG!
This is what the team have made

Thank you for all of your lovely comments of encouragement, it means a lot to us all.
ReplyDeleteJo, thank you for your comment about the size of the text, it is really appreciated, because if you don't tell us, we can't fix the problem.
If any of you spot anything else not quite right, please be sure to let us know so we can put it right, we really do appreciate your input.
Thanks again from the DT.
If you want the persons name to appear with their entry they need to put their name on the top line of the linky thingy

Really want to join in the fun here but have tried four times to link up my work and have failed! I keep being directed to a 'linky' site and I can't do anything there!! Anybody help? Pleeeaaase!!
ReplyDeleteJulia
It's okay Julia, it has linked you just don't have a picture. If you join us next time just follow the instructions on the making a direct link tab at the top of the blog. If you are still struggling, email me. sam21@ntlworld.com
ReplyDeleteSam xxxx
Oops!! Sorry, I seem to have entered my link four times now and there's no way I can delete any of them!! Not sure what happened there as usually there's no link up problem.
ReplyDeleteOh well, it proves how much I want to join in I suppose! Good luck with your new venture and will someone please remove three of my entries and leave one? Thank you!!
Juliax
Julia, I think you just didn't give it chance to register the thumbnail as your entry has now displayed 4 times!! I'm going to go and delete 3 of them if that's okay.
ReplyDeleteSo you did it right the first time.
Sam xxx
love the blog and great tags ladies. Apologies but I have made a complete codge uploading my picture I cant make it 2MB despite resize to smallest Doh :( Anyway good luck Sandra XXX
ReplyDeleteAll you needed to do Sandra was click on auto crop my image and choose the image from your file.
ReplyDeleteIf you open the 'making a direct link' tab at the top of the page there are a list of step by step instructions to assist you in uploading the image.
Sam xxx
Well, I've made a tag and linked it - I haven't used this particular linky tool before so I hope I've done it correctly - my image shows up so that's a good start!!
ReplyDeleteI made my first tag ever to join in on your new challenge blog. Hope I linked it right! :) hl
