DT call results....

Good Evening!
I'm really sorry I've had to post this so late...
it really has been an agonising decision...
and even when we thought we had made a decision there were a few last minute hiccups!
There were SO many amazing crafters to choose from, and if I could have a 60 strong DT I would...

Its horrible to have to say no to people, and believe me, I have had sleepless nights over this!!

We made our decision the way we always have, based on votes from the existing team,
and the 4 people with the most votes are:


Congratualtions Ladies, We would love to offer you all a place on the Pollycraft team.
Please email me and I'll run you through what happens next...

Thank you so much to everyone else, you have no idea how hard this post is to write, I have knots in my stomach!

Paula and the Pollycraft team...

Thank you SO much!!

WOW what a fab response to the DT call!!
HUGE thanks go out to every one who took the time to make such beautiful creations!!
The DT call is now closed, and we have a MINDBLOWINGLY difficult decison to make!!
I've loved visiting you all, and I've discovered some new AMAZING crafters I hadnt been aware of before...
I apologise to anyone who didnt recieve a comment... I tried for over a week to leave comments on about 5 of your blogs, but it just wasn't happening!! sorry!

We hope to be able to announce either later today, or tomorrow morning who our new DT members are..

Good luck everybody!

In other news...
We have just set a new challenge over on the challenge blog...

Pollycraft Challenge #96 Love and Marriage... and new releases!!

Good morning!!!...long time no type!
its been all go in our house this last week or so, as we are replacing our kitchen...
its been a 'challenge' shall we say?
Me and hubby have fallen out on numerous occasions...but fingers crossed we are almost done!! phew!!
its been tricky to do any crafting, as alot of the stuff from the kitchen has been stored in my craft room, but I've managed to throw this together...

Jane has set the theme for us this week over on the challenge blog and its:
Love and Marriage

As i'm not likely to need a wedding card for a while (unless my sister and her fiance hurry up and set the date...hint hint!!)
I decided to make a card that I can either use for hubby's Anniversary, or Valentines card...
(assuming there are no further kitchen fall outs!)

I've used the BRAND NEW Spencer 'bucketful of love) digi...
You can grab him over in the shop for just 99p...
along with some more Spencers....



His 'special' bear friend Claudia....

and the rather Sassy Sonny Honeycloud...



We hope you can join us this week.... theres 10 digis up for grabs for one lucky winner!!
