Results of our Poll - Last week when we asked you to identify what you were looking for in the weekly Challenges, it was revealed that Sketches and Techniques were top of your list. We will of course be covering these over the coming weeks, but also use others to add flavour and interest for you. Thank you for your participation in the Poll, it really helps us to shape future issues. We will be carrying these out from time to time just to make sure we are on the right track.

Two are designed to support you this week with the Challenge of the Week. Your choices are a Free Standing Pop-up Card as demonstated by Debbie one our of creative Design Team Members, the second choice is the Stair Step Fold Card, with a tutorial to support you.
