Week 217 - Theme

Good morning dear crafters, I hope you all had a fantastic week last week. Well I know some parts of the country have been enjoying warm and sunny weather but here in South Wales it’s been particularly damp and dismal, so I’m hoping the rest of the week will be an improvement.

Before we announce the new challenge I have a quick DT update to share with you. Sadly Cathy has decided to step down from Team 2 with immediate effect. I would like to thank her for all her gorgeous creations for us at PFP and wish her well for the future. Of course that means we also have a new DT member joining Team 2 from next week’s challenge. Her name is Anna and her blog is http://annaspysseltajm.blogspot.se/. I’m sure you will join with me in welcoming her to the team.

Thank you for all your entries to last week’s “embossing” challenge. It was lovely to see all your gorgeous entries and the DT had a brilliant time visiting your blogs. Don’t forget to check back later to find out who Sue has chosen as her top 5 passionista and also to see if you are the lucky winner of the £10.00 voucher courtesy of DigiStamp Boutique.

Onto this week’s challenge which has been set by Marie from Team 1 and she has chosen “one for the boys” – now I know we don’t really enjoy making cards for the men in our lives but unfortunately it’s something we have to do from time to time!! ! 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 Clearly Besotted Stamps and one lucky winner receive 1 stamp set of their choice.

The design team have worked their magic once again this week and have created gorgeous cards to inspire you (please click on their names to visit their personal blogs):
