AAA Birthday: Going Into 2023

Hello!

An extra post for December as there are one or two changes coming up in 2023.

At the moment we begin our new challenges on the first Monday of the month, well from January 2023 we're going to make it easier for you to remember our start date. All challenges will commence on the 1st of each month and stay open the entire month. So an extra few days to get your cards linked up!

Sadly we are saying goodbye to two DT members - Bhavya and Nonni. They are both awesome card makers and we're really sorry to see them go. All best wishes for the New Year to you both and good luck with wherever your crafting journey takes you next.

I too am taking a bit of a break from making cards, but will continue to work hard behind the scenes as admin to keep the challenges running as smoothly as I can.

The flip side of all this is that we get to welcome some incredible new members to the team. In fact I decided to not just replace the three who are stepping down but up the DT numbers so that you get even more inspiration to play along.

Here they all are:

Deekshita

Hi everyone,

I'm Deekshita based in Mangaluru, India. I a am full-time mom to an adorable pre-schooler in the day and a crafter by night. My forte is critters and I love to use them in my cards. Ink blending and colour play are my card's spotlight. Birthday cards are my favourites to make and I get my inspiration from challenges. I'm very much excited to be a part of AAA Birthday DT team and looking forward to it :)
