Before we announce last weeks winner, and this weeks new challenge I have an announcement. Sadly Andrea is stepping down from the Design Team for a while, Andrea was one of the founders of Cute Card Thursday Challenge and we are extremely sad to see her go, but wish her all the best and a huge "Thank You" for all her amazing work.

So now we are having a Design Team Call.

If you are interested in joining the Cute Card Thursday Design Team please submit two cards/projects that you feel best show off your style, together with some info about yourself, details of your blog and other Design Team commitments and email me on CCTDTCall@gmail.com

The call will close at midnight GMT on June 30th 2010 and on 1st July the Design Team will start looking through the applications. We will contact those chosen the first week of July with a view to joining in the challenge on July 15th.
