Good morning everyone, well what happened to January? The first month has come and gone in a blur hasn’t it. We hope you all had a wonderful week last week. We certainly had some gorgeous creations using Ida’s inspirational photo. You all seemed to like the different type of challenge so maybe we’ll have more inspirational photo’s for you in the future. Please come back later to find out who Ida has chosen as her top 5 passionista and also to find out the lucky winner of the stamping kit courtesy of Letraset.

Before we go onto this week’s challenge we have a sad and happy announcement to make. Sadly we are saying goodbye to Caryn who was one of our original design team members. Caryn’s business has really taken off and unfortunately she doesn’t have as much time for crafting as she would like. Thank you Caryn for all your hard work for the blog. Also Gina has decided to take a step back from creating at the moment, as she too is busy with her business, although she will still be my right hand man behind the scenes!

So for our good news – we are pleased to reveal that we have two new members joining design team 1. Please welcome Heidi and Maya. Please pop over to their blogs and leave them a nice comment as they are very nervous but also very excited. You will see their first cards next week.

Ok onto this week’s challenge which has been set by Michele and she has chosen “let there be love” so anything love related, it doesn’t have to be a valentine creation, it can be wedding, anniversary or simply an I love you card. Don’t forget to be included in the prize draw you must use your promarkers or aqua markers.

Our sponsor this week is Joanna Sheen and the lucky winner will receive a £10.00 voucher to spend in her online store.

The design team is a little depleted this week as there are no cards from Caryn or Gina and also Sarah is unwell. But I’m sure you’ll agree that the rest of the team have created gorgeous cards for your inspiration:

Beautiful work once again by the DT, I’m sure you’ll agree. We hope you will have time to enter our challenge this week and we can’t wait to see what you create and look forward to visiting your blogs.

Hugs, Denise, Gina & DT x x
