Week 176–Winner and Top 5 Passionista

Hello again crafters.  We’re back to announce the lucky winner of last week’s “colouring on kraft” challenge and also to announce who Jen has chosen as her top 5 passionista.  Even though it was a difficult challenge and we only had 19 entries the DT were delighted to see so many of you trying the technique for the first time and doing a fantastic job of it too.  Your colouring was amazing. 

Firstly we are going to announce the lucky winner who will receive a £10.00 voucher courtesy of Joanna Sheen.  As always, to be fair, we used random.org and he chose:

No. 2

Jo

Congratulations Jo, your card is stunning and your colouring is awesome, I love your really deep, rich colours and lovely ribbon.  Please email us and we will arrange for you to receive your prize.

Now onto the top 5 passionista and Jen had a wonderful time visiting your blogs and seeing your creations and she told me that even though there were not that many entries it didn’t make her job any easier as you all overcame the challenge so fantastically.  After much deliberation here are her favourite 5:

Cathy

Christina

Connie

Kat

Sue

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.

Have a wonderful week.  Don’t forget to check out our current challenge “distressing” – full details in the post below.

Week 177–Theme

Good morning dear crafters.  I hope you all had a brilliant week last week.  I’m sorry if you’re still feeling the effects of the stormy, wet weather some of the country has experienced and I trust that if you suffered any flooding or damage that it all gets resolved very soon.  I know I always moan about the bad weather in South Wales but thankfully as we’re so hilly we don’t get flooded in my little part very often.  Sending hugs to you all. 

Before we announce the brand new challenge I would like to say a big thank you and also well done to all the participants of last week’s “colouring on kraft” challenge.  I know that for most of you it was the first time that you had attempted to colour on kraft card but I have to say that your colouring was amazing and we would never have known it was your first time unless you had told us so in your post.  You all deserve a big pat on the back!  Don’t forget to check back later to find out who Jen has chosen as her top 5 passionista and to find out who will be the lucky winner of the £10.00 gift voucher courtesy of Joanna Sheen. 

Now onto this week’s challenge and hopefully this will be a little more in your comfort zone.  It’s the turn of Lou from Team 1 to set the theme and she has chosen “distressing”, so let’s see those roughed up edges, inked edges or torn papers from you this week.  Don’t forget to be eligible for the prize draw you must use your Letraset products (i.e. pro, flex, aqua, tria, metallic or neon markers) and of course follow the theme. 

Our generous sponsor this week is Pink Gem Designs and Janet is offering one lucky winner a prize of 4 digi images of their choice from her lovely store. 

The design team have worked their magic once again this week and created gorgeous cards for your inspiration.  They were also lucky enough to be given an image from Pink Gem Designs to use on their cards.  (Please click on their names to visit their personal blogs):
