Onto the new challenge, which has been set by Marie from Team 1, and she has given us the theme of 'summertime’.  Marie would like you to create something that depicts summer; it can be a beach scene, sitting in the garden, riding a bike, or simply eating an ice-cream.  We hope you’ll have fun and can’t wait to see what you create this week.  Don't forget 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 Colour of Love Digis and they are offering one lucky winner 3 digi images of their choice from their online store.

Good morning lovely crafters, we hope you all had a fantastic week last week and had a fun Bank Holiday weekend (in the UK at least) and for a change the weather was scorchio!  Thank you for your fab entries in last week’s Special Anniversary 'anything goes' challenge.  As always it was lovely to see your wonderful creations and the DT had a brilliant time visiting your blogs.  Please remember to come back later as we will be announcing our lucky winners - yes multiple winners - who will win the amazing prizes offered by our very generous sponsors.  Just for this one week there will be no Top 5 Passionista.

Onto the new challenge, which has been set by Elaine from Team 2 and she has given you the theme of ‘happy birthday’.  Elaine has given you a super easy theme this week, make a creation for a birthday – it couldn’t be any simpler could it?  We want to see lots of lovely entries this week as we all need birthday cards for our stash right!  We hope you’ll have fun and can’t wait to see what you create this week. 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 The Paper Shelter who sadly have now closed their store.  I have decided to offer the image that the DT were given to use as the prize this week called 'A Curious Cake' which is perfect for birthday cards.
