Precious Medals/Metals - Olympics - Gold/Silver/Bronze


Hello all, Angela here. So have you been watching the Olympics? I always love watching the Gymnastics and swimming. How about you? With the Olympics wrapping up in London we thought this challenge would tie in nicely. Our theme this fortnight is going to be "Precious Metals"  as in Gold, Silver, Bronze etc just like those wonderful medals all the Olympians have been winning. 
Any project as long as it includes some type of metal touch. How easy is that right! 
Now before I head off and bring out some inspiration from the design team we have some exciting news to share. 

We are excited to announce that we have 2 new team members on our design team.  Zoe Sanderson and Tony Robson.  They both have different styles as you will see when you visit their blogs and we are looking forward to working with them both. Please do stop by and give them a big welcome shout. 

And now some inspiration from the team:
