Farewell, and changes in 2015

I and my Design Team would like to wish all my friends and customers a
HAPPY NEW YEAR for 2015.

Please note that as of 1 January 2015 the following changes have been made:

FAREWELL

Jen, one of the artists, has decided to stop drawing for DS4J, and her images are no longer available in this store. I would personally like to thank Jen for all her help, and all the wonderful drawings she made available for you to purchase. I trust you will continue to use her drawings on your cards, even though you cannot purchase them here any more. Her artwork will live on.

CHALLENGE CHANGES

Instead of the bi-weekly challenges on this blog, you will now have a whole month to make a card and enter! A new challenge will be posted on the 1st of EVERY month, to run for the whole month, with a mid-challenge post by the Design Team on the 15th of every month. This will give you oodles of time to get your cards into our challenge on the BLOG

NEW RELEASES

New images will be released TWICE a month, on every second Sunday, starting on 11 January 2015.  
Digistamps4Joy is still live and well, and raring to go in 2015! 
We look forward to your creations in our challenges.
Margy and her fabulous DT.

Challenge #107 - Add Glitter

On behalf of the Design Team, the Artists, and Myself, I would like to wish all our readers and friends a very Merry Christmas and a  prosperous New Year!

PLEASE NOTE ... THERE WILL NOT BE ANY NEW RELEASES UNTIL JANUARY 2015

This challenge is hosted by Karin

The theme for this challenge is

 "ADD GLITTER"

Hi everyone I'm Karin from the Netherlands, and I'm working for Margaret Kieser about 3 years .... I work in this fantastic group of designers ............. I'm making cards since 2000 with lot of fun, and  started with 3D decoupages. These days I work with digi's also and learn to use to colour with Copics.

 Take a visit to the Digistamps4Joy store and check out the wonderful images that we have to entice your senses, or use an image that you have. But if you use a DS4J image you will be eligible for the DT Choice prize of a $10 Gift Voucher to the store…wouldn’t that be a wonderful Christmas present to yourself? And don’t forget about our monthly progressive Christmas Challenge.

The challenge runs for THREE WEEKS so my DT can have a break,
from Wednesday 24 Dec. 2014 - 13 Jan. 2015. There will NOT be a mid-challenge post either, so both Team A and Team B have posted here.

Here is my creation using the DS4J digi "Misteri's ornaments" 

We would prefer for you to use a DS4J image from the store, but this is not necessary. However, to win the DTs Choice prize you WILL need to use a DS4J digi. Remember to link your projects in the linky below.

Don't forget you MUST use a digital stamp or rubber stamp!

ANY of the digis in the Store are perfect for this theme! Did you know that with up to 1,000 images in the store, you can find any one easily by typing in the NAME in the SEARCH box?
