Week 209 - Theme

Good morning dear crafters, I hope you all had a fantastic week last week.  I didn’t have such a good week, as my internet wasn’t working and could only mess about on my phone – I have to say a big thank you to Gina for doing the top 5 and winner’s post for me last Tuesday, otherwise you would all still be waiting for me lol!  Before we announce the new challenge I would like to thank you for your gorgeous entries to last week’s “easel does it” challenge, I was surprised that there weren’t more entries as I thought everyone loved making easel cards, but the entries we did have were stunning.  The DT had a brilliant time visiting your blogs and seeing your wonderful creations.  Don’t forget to check back later to find out who Jane B. has chosen as her top 5 passionista and also to see if you are the lucky winner of the stamp set courtesy of Clearly Besotted stamps. 

Onto this week’s challenge which has been set by Lisa from Team 1 and she has chosen “summertime blues”.  Lisa would like you to use blue & 1 other colour only (not including skin/hair colours).  Don’t forget, as always, to be eligible for our prize draw 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.

Our generous sponsor this week is Whiff of Joy stamps and the lucky winner will receive 1 stamp.

Good morning dear crafters, I hope you all had a fantastic week last week.  Are you still enjoying the heat-wave?  I have to say that working in these temperatures is not my idea of fun, so hopefully it will be a bit more comfortable when the temperatures drop back a little at the end of the week. 

Also big congratulations to Kate & William on the safe arrival of their bouncing baby boy – wow 8lb 6oz!  I am not a big royalist but I love hearing good news for a change and I wish them well for the coming weeks and months.
