Good morning dear crafters.  I hope you all had a fantastic week last week and had fun with our “butterflies” challenge.  The DT had a brilliant time visiting your blogs and seeing your wonderful creations and it was lovely to see so many entries .  They were all so pretty and girly and a delight to see.  Don’t forget to check back later to find out who Julie has chosen as her top 5 passionista and also to see if you are the lucky winner of the 6 digi images courtesy of DigiStamp Boutique

Onto this week’s challenge which has been set by Jane B. from Team 2 and she has chosen something a little different for you this week.  She has given you a “bingo board” to use – just simply choose any line to follow (horizontal, vertical or diagonal) and use everything in that line on your card – simples!  Of course you can use extra items on your card but you must have all 3 items from the line on your card to be eligible for our prize draw.  Please tell us in your post what line you’ve used.  Don’t forget you must use your Letraset products (i.e. promarkers, flex markers, aqua markers, tria markers, metallic markers or neon markers) and of course follow the theme.
