Week 114–Winner & top 5 Passionista

Good evening everyone, we’re back to announce the lucky winner of last week’s “no patterned paper” challenge and also to let you know who Denise has chosen as her top 5 passionista.  We had so many gorgeous entries and it was fantastic to see so many of you going without papers for the first time.  The design team certainly picked up lots of new ideas for the next time we have this type of challenge lol! 

First let’s announce the lucky winner of the super cute “which direction” stamp courtesy of Whiff of Joy stamps.  We used random.org and he chose No.32:

and that is Carol

Congratulations Carol, such an elegant Christmas card.  Please email us so we can arrange for you to receive your prize. 

Now onto the top 5 passionista and it was such a difficult job for Denise as at one point she had a short-list of about 15 lol!  However after much deliberation here are the top 5 passionista for last week:

Dora

Marika

Neil

Tracy

Wendy

Congratulations everyone, you can now proudly display the top 5 passionista blinkie on your blogs.  If you need any help with this please email us.

Week 115 - Theme

Good morning dear crafters. We hope you all had a great week last week, and for those of you in the UK we hope you had a fantastic bank holiday weekend. It was wonderful to see all your gorgeous entries last week and it goes to show that we can all create beautiful things even without patterned paper! Denise certainly enjoyed looking at all your creations and we will be back later to announce who she has chosen as her top 5 passionista. We will also be letting you know the lucky winner of the fantastic stamp courtesy of whiff of joy stamps.

Onto this week’s challenge and we have a very special treat for you. As the new Flex Markers are soon to be released the lovely Paul at Letraset has given us an amazing prize for one lucky winner of 2 x 6 packs of Flex Markers – how exciting! Therefore we decided that our challenge this week would be ‘flexible’ i.e. “anything goes”. Don’t forget you must use your promarkers, aqua markers, tria markers or even flex markers to be eligible for our prize draw.

Our design team have been lucky enough to try out a few of the Flex Markers and they are all in love with them and cannot wait until 5th September when they are available in the Letraset store. If you’re as eager as we are you can visit here to see the colour chart and set information in anticipation of their release. Letraset are also running a Facebook competition with a chance to win a full set of Flex Markers – check it out here.

As always our design team have created amazing samples to inspire you (please click on their names to visit their personal blogs):
