Week 72 - Theme

Morning crafters and welcome to a brand new challenge!  Before we go into the details of the challenge we want to say how beautiful your entries were for Sue C’s ‘vintage/shabby chic’ challenge last week.  You all obviously enjoyed that theme and the standard of the entries was superb.  Please check back later to find out if you are one of Sue C’s top 5 passionista and to see who the lucky winner of the £10.00 voucher courtesy of Joanna Sheen will be. 

So, onto this week’s challenge which has been set by Tracy and she has chosen “recycled”  i.e. use something on your projects that wasn’t originally intended for crafting such as buttons off your cardigan, ribbon from inside your tops – your get the drift!!  Also to be eligible for our prize draw you must use your promarkers or aqua markers. 

Our sponsor this week is Pink Gem Designs and one lucky winner will receive 1 stamp of their choice from their store. 

The design team have been raiding their cupboards and drawers this week and found lots of bits to recycle and this is what they came up with (to visit their personal blogs please click on their names):

Wow we’re sure you’ll agree that the DT have done a brilliant job once again this week and that they have given you lots of ideas of things you could use on your own projects.  We can’t wait to see what you create this week and look forward to visiting your blogs. 

Hugs, Denise, Gina & DT x x
