Stef Hughes has been with the DT for only short while, and we have loved every minute of her time with us.  Our Glitterbabe wowed us with her talent, humour and all-round friendliness, and because of this, Stef ....

you will be missed! 

Stef,  thank you for your loyalty and dedication to DS4J, and I know that Jen our DT Leader will be echoing my sentiments as she reads this. You were an amazing member of a very busy team, always pulled your weight, and always created stunning cards. We will all miss you, but we wish you all the best in your cardmaking adventures, and of course you may now 'officially' enter our DS4J challenges!!

 Jen put together a collage of some of the cards you have made during your DT membership, a perfect tribute to your talent and creativity:
