Week 850 - dies and/or punches

Good morning lovely crafters, we hope you all had a fantastic week last week. Thank you for your gorgeous entries into last week’s ‘favourite embellishments’ 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 1 digi image courtesy of Dr Digi's House of Stamps and also who Elaine has chosen as her Top 5 Passionista.

Onto the new challenge which this week has been chosen by Marie from Team 1 and she has given us the fab theme of 'dies and/or punches'. Marie doesn't mind what you make this week as long as you include some die cuts or punched pieces. This is always a very popular challenge and I know I can’t make a card anymore without reaching for the dies, so hopefully this week’s challenge will have lots of entries. 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 Colour of Love Digis 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 Colour of Love 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):
