ReplyDeleteFabulous cards by the DT and a lovely new design but ... I don't like the light blue text on the white background. It's straining to the eyes (to mine at least).
ReplyDeleteGorgeous DT cards as always.
ReplyDeleteMy Saturday mornings will never be the same!! ;-)
Good luck with the new format and love the new look challenge blog too!

Great idea to change to less frequent challenges! Don't know how you all kept up that weekly pace. Just a suggestion: That light blue font is not so easy on the eyes!! Otherwise, the blog look is great! Wonderful DT cards, too. Thanks for the hop!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful DT-works! Could you please tell me, how many times can I partisipate in each challenge? With different cards of course. Is there any limitations?
ReplyDeleteWow,what a lovely new look!
ReplyDeletelove the blog face-lift! The dt's cards are great as usual,
