We unfortunately lost Monique last week so my Design Team is down by one member for this Challenge but Im sure that like the rest of us you will miss her and her beautiful cards but Im sure also like myself and the Design Teams you will want to wish her all the best for the future.
And in a couple of weeks we shall have a brand new Team  Member to introduce you to and that is Natalie and she will be joining in with the A Team for her first Challenge on the 10th May, and then you will be able to meet her and give her all your love and support. So for now even being one team member down the rest of the girls have worked just as hard as they always do to bring you stunning cards and here they are.

Hmm, wonder what I should write in this part of the post this time... Always when I come to the finish of the posts here at the Shelter I feel like being inventive and creative and write something very clever. Still I end up with the same old, same old. It's like my letters to my pen pals always sign off the same way. So please give the team some love and be sure to pay them a vistit. They love their comments as much as you do. 

 And with that said I wish you a crafty week and don't forget to post your creations here with us so that we can come and visit you. We are a little short of teamies at the moment, so if you don't get a comment this week you know why. We are sorry about that and are doing our best.
