Hello again friends; we hope you’ve had a great day so far. We’re back to announce our lucky Winner and Top 5 Passionista for last week’s 'add some sparkle' challenge. It was lovely to see your entries and as always the DT had a wonderful time visiting your blogs and seeing your gorgeous creations. I’ll be announcing Wendy's Top 5 Passionista in a moment but firstly let’s find out who our lucky winner is!

For last week’s challenge we were sponsored by All Dressed Up Stamps who offered one lucky winner 2 digi images of their choice from their online store. As always we used random.org and he chose:

Week 858 - use orange

Good morning lovely crafters, we hope you all had another great week.  Thank you so much for your gorgeous entries into last week’s ‘add some sparkle’ challenge; not as many as we hoped but the ones we did have were fantastic.  As always the DT had a brilliant time visiting your blogs.  Please remember to come back later as we will be announcing our lucky winner who has won the 2 digi images courtesy of All Dressed Up Stamps and we will also find out who Wendy has chosen as her Top 5 Passionista.

Onto the new challenge, which has been set by Lorraine from Team 1, and she has given us a fantastic theme of ‘use orange’. Lorraine would love to see some orange on your projects this week – it can be a little or a lot, it’s entirely up to you.  Obviously at this time of year you may want to make a Halloween card but you don't have to, you are free to make anything you like as long as you include some orange. 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 Sheepski Designs and they are offering one lucky winner 3 digi images of their choice (the online store is currently closed but the winner will be sent a link to be able to choose their images). 

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):

Stay safe and sending our love to you all.
