This is a milestone so some of the design team members are working out what their first Colour Dare Challenge blog post was. My first challenge as a design team member was number #309 on 7 September 2018. Let us know when you first entered Colour Dare challenges - it might be today!

For this artwork I pulled out a selection of purple, blue and green inks and some green and purple and blue cardstocks and cut Stitched Circles Thin Cuts and Basic Circles Thin Cuts.

I've been wanting to make magnets for all the members of our Bulk Buying group for ages - we buy in bulk as a group to get discounts on items that are usually expensive; to save postage, to help the environment, to save money, get bulk buying powers and healthier items (like free-range, organic, etc). We buy Who Gives a Crap Toilet paper to get a discount on the packs of 10 to save postage, get the bigger discount and save fuel for the delivery driver. We survived the TP crisis that happened a few months ago in Australia - I'm not sure we are over all the restrictions on toilet paper yet but I wanted to acknowledge that our group were #survivors.

I used an old real-estate magnet from 2018 and cut it into enough pieces for every circle to have a magnet. I checked that it was enough magnet to hold up the circles, I didn't want it falling off the fridge. Some had extra backing some were just the smaller circle. I did a selection of colours (see list below).
