Week 226 - Theme

Good morning dear crafters, I hope you all had a fantastic week last week.  Brrr. it’s getting really chilly now isn’t it, I think winter is upon us with a vengeance.  I even had to dig out my scarf and gloves yesterday morning.  I know some parts of the country have even had snow already – roll on spring lol!

Thank you for your gorgeous entries to last week’s “check it out” challenge.  You all seemed to enjoy the challenge although I was surprised that we had so few entries, but the ones we did have were fantastic and the DT had a brilliant time visiting your blogs and seeing your creations.  Don’t forget to check back later to find out who Lisa 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 Donna from Team 2 and she has chosen “in the family”.  Donna would like to see all your cards you’ve made for your family members.  So please include a sentiment on your creation which tells us which family member it’s for i.e. Happy Birthday Nanny or Merry Christmas Dear Daughter!.  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 Michele R Designs whose gorgeous digi papers are available at Whimsy stamps and one lucky winner will receive $10.00 worth of digi papers from her wonderful selection.
