When I heard that there was a call to apply for the Silhouette UK 2016/2017 Design Team, I thought it sounded amazing.  I decided to apply, but without any expectations, as the crafters here in the UK are making some absolutely stunning work with their Silhouette machines.  Well, guess what?  I received a call on Wednesday and lovely Lisa Bird (Silhouette's new UK Marketting Executive) told me that I was in!!!  It's fair to say that I was stoked.

Every month, our team of eight will receive a fabulous box of goodies and then we will write blog posts with tutorials and projects.  On Friday our first parcel arrived, check out the loot:

UK Silhouette Design Team 2016/2017 - my first box of goodies

I honestly can't wait to experiment with all the different products and share tutorials about my favourite ones.

Free Weekly Shape and Design Challenge

Every week, Silhouette give a away a free shape, so the UK Blog have started a weekly design challenge using that free shape.  I'd really love to see your entries - here's my take on this week's shape.  I decided to make a frame with repetitions of the free shape and added a quote for Mother's Day using the Yellow Daisy font.
