Week 829 - make it bloom

Good morning lovely crafters, we hope you had a great week last week. Our 'masculine' challenge didn't really grab you but the entries we did have were fantastic. It was so lovely to have you join us and as always 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 1 digi image courtesy of Dr Digi's House of Stamps and we will also find out who Elaine has chosen as her top 5 passionista.

Onto the new challenge, which has been set by Marie from Team 1, and she has given us the theme of ‘make it bloom’.  As the title suggests Marie would love to see lots of flowers on your creations this week.  It can be a floral stamped image, a die cut flower or even floral background paper, Marie will be happy as long as you include some flowers.  This is always a very popular challenge so hopefully we will have lots of pretty entries.  Please remember you can enter using any type of creation, it doesn’t have to be a card, all creations are welcome. The only rule we have is that you must hand colour an image using your markers and of course have fun!

Our generous sponsor this week is All Dressed Up Stamps and they are offering one lucky winner 2 digi images of their choice from their online store.  Most the DT have used images from All Dressed Up Stamps 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):
