Week 856 - for a child

Good morning lovely crafters, we hope you all had a fantastic week last week.  Thank you for all your gorgeous entries into last week’s ‘masculine’ 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 winner of the 3 digi images courtesy of Polkadoodles and also revealing who Nat has chosen as her Top 5 Passionista.  

Onto the new challenge, which has been set by Sarah from Team 1, and she has given us the fantastic theme of ‘for a child'. Sarah doesn’t mind what you make this week as long as it's suitable for a child (or baby) and it can be for any occasion you choose. Such a brilliant theme, don't you agree and we can’t wait to see what you make.  Please remember you can enter using any type of creation, it doesn’t have to be a card but whatever you make please remember 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 RAM Stamps and Rachelle is offering one lucky winner a £10.00 voucher to spend in her online store.  All of the DT have used images from RAM Stamps 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):

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.
