Top 5 Passionista – week 26

Well here we are again with another round of the top 5 passionista. Barbara had a really tough decision this week and although she had a hard time narrowing it down to just 5 she wanted to thank everyone for their gorgeous entries. The standard of entries was amazing again this week – you lot are so talented :)

Here is Barbara’s top 5 passionista for week 26:

** Anne **

** Camilla **

** Cathy **

** Tanjaak **

** Tracy **

Well done ladies, you can now display the top 5 passionista blinkie on your blogs.

We hope you have fun with this week’s ‘vintage’ theme challenge and also we’ve got something extra special planned for the whole of December – so don’t miss the challenge on 1st December when all will be revealed *wink*. You must check out the weekend workshop this week as we have an amazing prize up for grabs.

Week 27 – Any colours & theme

Hello and welcome to another new challenge here at passion for promarkers. Before we announce the challenge we would like to say thank you for your gorgeous entries to last week’s Burnt Umber & Marsh Green colour scheme – we secretly thought you might struggle but as usual you all excelled and produced some beautiful projects. Don’t forget to check back later to find out who is the lucky winner of the pack of 5 promarkers donated by Letraset and also to discover who Barbara has picked as her top 5 passionista.

So onto this week's challenge, which has been chosen by Maria. The theme this week is ‘vintage’ but you can use any promarker colours you like *yay*. Our sponsor this week is Yellow Moon and one lucky winner will receive a £10.00 voucher to spend in their online store.

Our design team has been busy creating some gorgeous samples to inspire you this week (click on their names to visit their personal blogs).

Unfortunately we have some sad news to share with you – the lovely Natalie has decided to step down from the DT due to work and family commitments. We all wish Natalie well and thank her for her stunning contributions to our challenges. We’ll miss you Natalie!

We hope you enjoy the theme this week and we look forward to visiting your blogs.

Hugs, Denise, Gina & DT x x
