Week 690–add a sentiment

Good morning lovely crafters, we hope you had a great week last week.  Thank you for all your gorgeous entries for our ‘layer it up’ challenge; 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. Don’t forget to pop back later to find out who won the $6.00 voucher courtesy of Jan’s Digital Stamps and also who Marie has chosen as her Top 5 Passionista.

Onto the new challenge, which has been set by Karen from Team 2, and she has given you the theme of ‘add a sentiment’.  Karen 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.  We can’t wait to see what you make.  The only rule we have is use your markers and have fun!

Our generous sponsor this week is The Paper Shelter and they are offering one lucky winner 3 digi images of their choice from their online store.  All of the DT have used images from The Paper Shelter 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):
