Week 849 - use your favourite embellishments

Good morning lovely crafters, we hope you had a great week last week. Thank you for the gorgeous entries for our ‘use 3 of something’ 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.  Don’t forget to pop back later to find out who won the 2 digi images courtesy of All Dressed Up stamps and also who Lorraine has chosen as her Top 5 Passionista.

Onto the new challenge, which has been set by Elaine from Team 2, and she has given us the theme of ‘use your favourite embellishments’. Elaine has given you a free rein for her challenge this week, she just wants to know what your fave finishing touches are on your creations (please let us know what your favourite is in your post). You must also include a hand coloured image as always to be eligible for our prize draw. Easy peasy, so let’s see lots of entries. Don’t forget you can enter any type of creation it doesn’t have to be a card. The only rule we have is use your markers and have fun!

Our generous sponsor this week is Dr Digi’s House of Stamps who are offering one lucky winner 1 digi image of their choice from their online store. Most of the DT have used images from Dr Digi’s HOS on their creations this week.
