This DT Thursday is brought to you by DT member, Laura Fulcher!!  Her blog is awesome.  She is also responsible for the wonderful video posted in Cover-A-Card^TM area for the Mega Mount^TM in our online store.  This week she used some more of our new Spring images, of course!!  The one used below is by Hannah Davies.  So with a glance at her 'sneak peek' let's get on over to her blog, HERE.  While you are there, let her know what you think.  Looks like a lot of totally cute fun from here!

Our new challenges are listed in the sidebar to your left. Notice we are having monthly NEW STAMP releases through June.  They are awesome, cute, pretty, and fun too.  You won't want to miss out.  The Design Team will design cards with the stamps released that month.  You will still be able to join in the challenges by building your card around the theme.

So with that in mind, our next challenge is Thursday, March 1, and is a "True Blue" Challenge.  Below are the guidelines to get you started:
