Week 172–Winner & Top 5 Passionista

I’m sorry that I’m a day late announcing the lucky winner and top 5 passionista for last week’s “pets” challenge.  Me and the family went to the cinema and for a meal at Frankie & Benny’s and it was late by the time I got home and I was too tired to even turn on the computer!!  However better late than never, I’m here with all the details.

We were overjoyed by the number of entries and we hope you will continue to enter our challenges and make them as successful as this one was.  The DT had a brilliant time visiting your blogs and loved all your wonderful creations. 

Firstly we are going to announce the lucky winner who will receive 4 digi images of their choice courtesy of Pink Gem Designs.  As always, to be fair, we used random.org and he chose:

No. 15

Marlene

Congratulations Marlene, your card is super cute and I love the colours you’ve used.  Please email us and we will arrange for you to receive your prize. 

Now onto the top 5 passionista and Pinky had the honour of choosing her favourites and she had such a tough job with all the gorgeous entries this week.  However after deliberation here are her top 5:

Week 171–Winner & Top 5 Passionista

Good evening dear crafters.  I am so sorry for being so late with the post for the winner’s and top 5 passionista for last week’s challenge.  I haven’t felt very good over the last few days and as a consequence have slept the evenings away on the settee. Thankfully I am starting to feel a little better now so hopefully it was just a 48 hour bug!! 

Anyway enough waffling and let’s get on with it, especially as I’ve kept you waiting for so long.  Unfortunately Jane M.’s challenge wasn’t very popular last week, but the entries we did have were gorgeous and the whole DT had a wonderful time visiting your blogs.

Firstly we are going to announce the lucky winner of the £10.00 voucher courtesy of Joanna Sheen and as always to be fair we used random.org (there were 18 linked entries and 1 email entry) and he chose:

No. 12

Elin

Congratulations Elin, your card is gorgeous and your cute image is coloured perfectly.  Please email us and we will arrange for you to receive your prize.

Now onto the top 5 passionista and Jane M. was disappointed her challenge didn’t prove to be more popular but loved the entries she did have and after much deliberation here are her favourite 5:

Elin (must be your lucky week!)

Fae

Marie

Nettan

Nicky

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

We hope you have a wonderful week.  Don’t forget to check out our current challenge “pets” – full details in the post below.

Week 172 - Theme

Good morning dear crafters.  We trust you all had a brilliant week last week and managed to fit some much needed crafting into your busy schedules.  That is unless you’re like me and spend all your time talking about/looking at other people’s crafting efforts on Facebook that you don’t have time to actually create anything of your own lol!  Before we announce the details of the new challenge we would like to say a big thank you to everyone that entered last week’s “bee happy” challenge.  Unfortunately it wasn’t such a popular theme but the DT were delighted by those that did enter and really enjoyed visiting your blogs.  Don’t forget to check back later to find out who Jane M. has chosen as her top 5 passionista and also to see if you are the lucky winner of the £10.00 voucher courtesy of Joanna Sheen.
Ok, enough waffling from me, let’s get on with this week’s challenge from Team 2 and the theme is “Pets” so very simple, just include any animal!  This theme was originally chosen by Donna but unfortunately she is no longer on the DT so the lovely Pinky has stepped into breach will be choosing the top 5 instead.  Don’t forget to eligible for our prize draw you must use your Letraset products (pro, flex, aqua, tria, metallic or neon markers) and of course follow the theme.
Our sponsor this week is Pink Gem Designs and the lovely Janet is offering one lucky winner a prize of 4 digi images of their choice from her store.
