Week 780 - add a sentiment

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 ‘dies and/or punches’ challenge; 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 win the 2 digi images courtesy of Dr Digi's House of Stamps and we will also find out who Marlene has chosen as her Top 5 Passionista.

Onto the new challenge, which was chosen by Kitty from Team 2 and she has given us a theme of ‘add a sentiment’. Kitty has chosen a really easy theme this week, you can make anything you like, just make sure it has a sentiment on it! Let’s hope it inspires lots of gorgeous entries. Don’t forget you can enter any type of creation it doesn’t have to be a card but 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 Leann's World 101 who 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):

Week 779 - dies and/or punches

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 ‘anything but square' challenge; 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 win the 3 digi images courtesy of Polkadoodles and we will also find out who Karen has chosen as her Top 5 Passionista.

Onto the new challenge, which was chosen by Marlene from Team 1 and she has given us a theme of ‘dies and/or punches'. Marlene 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 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 Dr Digi's House of Stamps who are offering one lucky winner a prize of 2 digi images of their choice from their online store.
