The "Fab'n'Funky" DT

We've trying a different "link system" this week. Please where possible, turn off your word verification. The DT love to visit you all but it can take an age to leave a comment if you have word verification . . . why not try comment moderation instead. The Inlink2 will ask you to link directly to your project and not your blog, that way we can leave our "lurve" for this weeks challenge.

Now which link system do you prefer to use? There is a poll under all the DT links at the top of the page and we would appreciate if you could take the time to vote. This way we make sure we are using the most user friendly link system for each challenge . . . thank you.

Challenge #35 - "Simply Colour-rific"

This weeks challenge is going to be left to you a little as the DT have decided to be a little nosy this week . . . hee, hee, hee . . . and we have chosen the theme . .

"Use your favourite colour(s)"

One of the main reasons we chose the theme is that sometimes we "play it safe" with our colour blends and it's great to see what you guys and girls mix together . . . from soft pastels to the boldest brights . . . so let the fun begin ! As always the DT have some inspiration to kick start the challenge and without further ado, here they are . . .
