OK this week we are definitely going to challenge you all. Over the years we have all bought them, tried them once for a special present and then put them away . . . but now is the time to dust them off and make something else with them. So what are we talking about you wonder? Simple . . . templates and therefore our challenge couldn't really be called anything else but . .

I'm Adela and I live in sunny Southern California with my husband and our two teenage girls! Crafting has been a passion of mine since I was a little girl. I love to sew, crochet, knit, draw, paper craft, stamp... I love anything related to crafting! With encouragement from many people, my love of paper crafting in 3D has led me to open an online shop which allows me to share some of my template designs. I feel so blessed and

I truly believe that God has given everyone their own special talents

and it is our privilege to share it with others.

Adela from Creations by AR has even got a FREEBIE section, so why not pop over and use one of the fab free templates and then join in with us on this challenge. Well the DT have been busy and heres what they have made:

• All the details for the DT position can be found on that post too.

We also appreciate that applying for a DT position may not fit in with your life and work schedules, so we also want to offer GUEST DT positions to at least 3/4 people and if appeals to you, follow these instructions . .

• once you have made your card, please link to it as normal on this post (Challenge Blog)
• next, please go over to the GDT CALL POST which can be found HERE and formally register your interest for the GDT position.
• All the details for the GDT position can be found on that post too.
