Week 44 – top 5 passionista

Hello again, we’re back to announce the top 5 passionista for last week as chosen by Denise. We have to say the standard of entries for last week was exceptional and Denise had a very tough job narrowing it down to just 5. You all loved making your Easter/spring cards last week and it was a pleasure visiting all your blogs and seeing the cutie animal images you used.

So without any more waffling from me, here are Denise’s top 5 passionista for week 44:

Hello again and welcome to our new challenge. Before we give you the details of the challenge we would like to a big thank you for all your gorgeous entries to the ‘springtime including an animal’ challenge last week.

So onto this week’s challenge, which has been chosen by Gina.
