Challenge #7 – Clear Cards

23 Feb

Hello, and welcome to a new Young Crafters Unite challenge! We hope you will be able to join us in this challenge =)

Before we get to announching this month’s challenge, we have some news to share. We’re sad to announce that Paulina has decided to step down from the team of this challenge. She’s been very busy lately, so we most certainly understand! Paulina – thank you SO very much for all that you have contributed to our team over the past six months. You’re a fantastic artist and we know that you’ll be around. YCUers, please leave some love for Paulina in the comments and make sure to add her blog to your blog reading device. Paulina is awesome!
Although Paulina can of course not be replaced, we are working on a couple exciting things for the next challenge. Stay tuned for more on that!

    Oooh – I love the DT samples! This is a great challenge – I haven’t made a clear card in years! I’ll definitely play along.
