Challenge #100 {A Farewell}

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.

  5. Surprised 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~ ;)

  13. So 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!

  20. DD 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!
