For last week’s challenge we were sponsored by All Dressed Up Stamps and they offered one lucky winner 2 digi images of their choice from their online store.

Week 830 - think pink!

Good morning lovely crafters, we hope you all had a fantastic week last week and enjoyed the sunshine. Thank you for your gorgeous entries into last week’s ‘make it bloom’ challenge.  It was lovely to have you join us and 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 receive the 2 digi images courtesy of All Dressed Up Stamps and we will also be finding out 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 lovely theme of ‘think pink’ to inspire you this week.  Karen doesn’t mind what you make this week as long as the dominant colour on your creation is pink; you can use other colours but we must see lots of pink.  We all love making our girly creations so hopefully this will be a popular theme.  We hope you’ll have fun and can’t wait to see what you create this week.  The only rule we have is to hand colour your image using your markers.  

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.  Most of the DT have used images from Colour of Love on their creations this week. 

The design team have created beautiful cards once again this week (please click on their names to visit their personal blogs and leave them some love!):

(using Colour of Love image 'hibiscus kokeshi doll')
(using Colour of Love image 'Rory's celebration Sundae' {not in the store currently})
No card this week

Another week of wonderful inspiration from the DT!! We hope you can join in with our challenge this week and we look forward to seeing what you create.

Stay safe and sending our love to you all.

Hugs, Denise, Gina and DT x x

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.
