Week 834 - dots and/or stripes

Good morning lovely crafters, we hope you all had a fantastic week last week.  Thank you for your gorgeous entries into last week’s ‘spring colours’ challenge.  It was lovely to have you join us and as always the DT had a brilliant time visiting your blogs and seeing your beautiful creations.  Please remember to come back later as we will be announcing our lucky winner who will receive the 2 digi images courtesy of Leann's World 101 and we will also be finding out who Sue has chosen as her top 5 passionista.

Onto the new challenge, which has been set by Nat from Team 2 and she has given you the theme of ‘dots and/or stripes’ to inspire you this week.  Nat doesn't mind what you make as long as you include either dots or stripes (or both).  It can be dots or stripes on your image, papers, ribbon, embossing folder, it's entirely up to you.  Such a brilliant theme, don't you agree and we can’t wait to see what you make.  Just remember your entry must include a hand-coloured image to be eligible for the prize draw; so grab your markers and get colouring!

Our generous sponsor this week is Polkadoodles and they are offering one lucky winner 3 digi images of their choice from their online store.  Most of the DT have used images from Polkadoodles on their creations this week. 

The design team have created beautiful cards once again this week (please click on their names to visit their personal blogs and leave them some love!):

Stay safe and sending our love to you all.

Week 832 - Winner & Top 5 Passionista

Hello again friends; we hope you’ve had a great day so far. We’re back to announce our lucky Winner for last week’s 'no square or rectangle cards' challenge.  Unfortunately we didn't have enough entries for Kitty to choose her Top 5 Passionista so that means both lovely entries will be showcased below.  Each of the entrants has a 50/50 chance of winning this week's prize so let’s find out who the lucky winner is!

For last week’s challenge we were sponsored by Sheepski Designs and they offered one lucky winner 3 digi images of their choice (the store is currently closed but you will be sent a link to choose your images).  As always we used random.org and he chose:

No. 1

Inkami

Congratulations Inkami, what a beautiful card. The image is super cute and your card shape is amazing. Please email us at passionformarkerschallenge@gmail.com and we will send you the link to choose your images. We hope you will proudly display our winners badge on your blog:

Week 833 - spring colours

Good morning lovely crafters, we hope you had a great week last week.  Oh dear, last week's 'no square or rectangle cards' challenge did not inspire you but we want to thank the two entrants that did take part.  The DT had a wonderful time visiting your blogs and seeing your amazing creations. Please remember to come back later as we will be announcing our lucky winner of the 3 digi images courtesy of Sheepski Designs but sadly Kitty won't need to choose a top 5 this week.

Onto the new challenge, which has been set by Sue from Team 1, and she has given us the theme of ‘spring colours’. Sue doesn’t mind what you make as long as the colours remind you of spring.  We are thinking pastel shades such as lemon, green, blue, pink, purple etc, but anything that makes you think ‘spring’ would fit the bill!  We hope you’ll have fun and can’t wait to see what you create this week.  Please remember you can enter using any type of creation, it doesn’t have to be a card but whatever you make you must include a hand coloured image to be eligible for our prize draw.  So come on, grab your markers, and have fun!

Our generous sponsor this week is Leann's World 101 and they are offering one lucky winner 2 digi images of their choice from their online store.  Most of the DT have used images from Leann's World 101 on their creations this week.  

The design team have worked their magic once again this week and have created beautiful cards to inspire you (please click on their names to visit their personal blogs):

Stay safe and sending our love to you all.
