Challenge #48 - Anniversary

Happy 2nd Anniversary to Dies R Us!

Hello Everyone!  

I have SO MUCH exciting news to share with you today!  

As you can see it's the 2nd Anniversary of Dies R Us and we are thrilled to have you joining us.  Our wonderful design team members strive to inspire you challenge after challenge on using all those fabulous die sets available at our Dies R Us Store.  We can't thank you enough for all your support as well as returned inspiration!

In honor of our anniversary celebration we have a Surprise Guest Designer for the month of May!

This talented lady was a part of our very first DT here at the DRU Challenge Blog as well as a member of the DT at the DRU Inspiration Blog. Please extend a welcome back to . . .

ROBIN THARALDSON

AND . . .

We have TWO new members joining the Dies R Us DT.

The newest member of Design Team A is:

KATHY KRUG  

I have always enjoyed doing something with my hands so I have always done some sort of crafting, but when I retired I decided that I wanted to focus on hand-made cards. Then I discovered the wonderful world of card making tutorials on You Tube and was hooked. Friends and family enjoy the special cards I make for them so this has become a very rewarding hobby.

Since our second NEW DT MEMBER will be part of Team B, I think I'll keep you in suspense until our 15th of the month challenge. Surprises are always fun!!  LOL

Whew!  So Now . . . onto the challenge.

Thanks to everyone who participated in our 'Black & White' challenge!  What beautiful creations you have all shared and inspired us with.  Be sure to scroll down to our previous posting to see who the DT chose as their favorites and who Inlinkz chose as the Gift Voucher winner.

As I'm sure you have guessed by now, our theme today is:

Anniversary

(anything for an anniversary + die cuts)

Team A has some fabulous inspiration pieces to help get you started . . .
