We are happy to welcome this week's sponsor ... Digi Darla's Designs! Our random prize winner will receive their choice of  FIVE images! DigiDarla is the brain child of Kim Eskola and her daughter Emilea...

"Emilea and I both enjoy creating and when the idea of creating digital stamps came up, it sounded like the most wonderful way to earn ever! There was only one problem! We are both shy and dislike the center of attention! As a way of "hiding behind the scenes" and avoiding having one spokeswoman, Digi Darla was born!  Working with Emilea on this project has been a wonderful blessing and has stretched both of us. Emilea is a busy teen with her passion for art and training our 2 horses, piano and violin lessons, and squeezing in high school classes somewhere in between! She is also the oldest daughter in a family of 11!"

This week is a our challenge for you is:

Introducing new Design Team member, Teresa!

Hi! We are so happy to announce our final 'new' team member joining us in the Card Crafter's Circle!  All the way from merry England, is Teresa!

Hello! I'm Teresa. I'm a mum of two, wife of one and lover of all things paper, wool and fabric :-)

I've been cardmaking for about five years now and just about got the hand of silicon glue!! I've been knitting and sewing since a little girl thanks to some great female influences in my family.

I work full time (unfortunately not in crafting!). About the crafting - I'm a designer for Do Crafts and demonstrate their products in stores too (which is such a cool job!). In my day job I'm involved in adult learning so I'm a huge fan of teaching others to find their way of having fun with paper and stuff. I'm really looking forward to playing with the designs we get given - more than that, I'm looking foward to making new friends x

We look forward to seeing Teresa's creations join our showcase each week... and you can find Teresa's crafty delights at her personal blog, Tayberrys!
