After much consideration, we have decided to close the Dynamic Duos Challenge blog. Thank you for your support over the past 2 years…we have
had a blast…thank you to all the designers who made Dynamic Duos a success. We are leaving
on a high note and although it was a tough decision, we know new opportunities
await.
I personally want to thank my friend Anne Marie Hile for her unwavering support and hard work. Anne Marie was integral to making the Dynamic Duos a success. She worked tirelessly with the team and with me, keeping us focused and on track. This challenge would not be what is has become without her passion and drive.
A special thank you to our current team for the last 6 months. Your work inspired us! So although we have chosen to close the challenge, we still have one more challenge left...and we hope you will join us for our very last colour combo at Dynamic Duos...
Welcome to the Dynamic Duos Challenge Blog. Each week we will have two colours for you to use to create a card, scrapbook page, craft or digital project. Only the two colours, otherwise known as "The Dynamic Duo", may be used for your project. Neutrals such as black, white, vanilla, skin colours and kraft are also welcome.
I'm sorry to see the challenge coming to an end Lesley and Anne Marie. Very fond memories of my time on the team way back in the beginning! Hope to find time to play along in this farewell challenge ;)
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear this. I have fairly recently started entering challenges and your is one I have looked forward to. Thanks for all the time and energy you have all put into it! With gratitude….
ReplyDeleteI'm so sad to hear that you're ending the Dynamic Duos, it has been wonderful to look forward to great inspiration and a fun challenge each Saturday. Thank you for all your hard work over the last couple of years in bringing about one of the best challenge blogs around. All the best...
ReplyDeleteSo sad! This was my first card inspiration group I joined and it will be hard to see it go. But thank you for all of the wonderful color duos over the last few months (since I joined). Best of luck with all of your future endeavors!
ReplyDeleteSurprised this is ending - though I didn't play that often I thought the concept was fun. However, if I know you Lesley I am sure something new will be popping up~ ;)
ReplyDeleteNothing else new, Vicki...I am slowing down. :)
DeleteThanks for the sweet words my friend.
Hugs!
Very sad to hear of your closing. Such an awesome site and challenges. This was a great place. I hope to see you all around the crafting world.

ReplyDeleteSo sad to hear that you are closing Dynamic Duos, but it is a chance for me to reflect on what a fantastic challenge site Dynamic Duos has been. My first DD card was for #12 back in July 2012 - Poppy Parade + Black....and I have played both as a participant and Design Team member 47 times!! I have to declare that I think that Dynamic Duos has really brought out the best of me as a card designer.....some of the cards I am most proud of were made for this blog challenge. Thank you Lesley and Anne Marie and everyone who has ever served on the DT......thank you for an outstanding job...both in terms of professional blog management and incredible creativity. MWAH!

ReplyDeleteAwww, no, so sad to see you go. I love this place.
ReplyDeleteDD definitely holds a special place for me. Being a part of the design team was some of my most fun crafting. I met some great crafters and friends through it all! This has been such a wonderful blog, managed by superb ladies (Lesley and Anne Marie), full of wonderful designers. I'm sad to see it go but totally understand the reasons behind it! Enjoy the little bit of extra time off this will afford you!
ReplyDeleteAwwwww....I am so sad. but I understand! I may not have played along every week, however you were the challenge blog that sparked me to become a better card maker!

Thank you Lesley and Anne Marie for all you've done with this wonderful challenge blog! Best of luck in EVERYONE's future endeavors! DD will be missed!
