Week 252 - Theme

Good morning dear crafters, I hope you all had a fantastic week last week.  Thank you for your gorgeous entries for last week’s “one for boys/men” challenge.  There were lots of fantastic entries and the DT had a brilliant time visiting your blogs.  Don’t forget to come back later to find out who Nic has chosen as her top 5 passionista and to find out who the lucky winner of the 6 pack of Flex Markers courtesy of Letraset will be! 

Before we announce the new challenge it is with great sadness that I have to let you know that Anna has stepped down from Team 2.  I’m sure you will join me in thanking her for all her wonderful creations for us at PFP and wish her well for the future.

That means that for the challenge on 1st July we will have a new DT member joining us – Lorraine – who is a regular entrant to our challenge, so I’m sure many of you will already visit her amazing blog.  If you don’t know of her already, then I strongly advise you to become a follower of her blog so that you don’t miss her lovely work.  We can’t wait to see what Lorraine creates for us and we are delighted to welcome her to the PFP family.

Onto the new challenge, which has been set by Sue from Team 2 and she has chosen “use blue & yellow”.   Sue would like to see all your creations feature the colours blue and yellow as the main focus this week (you can use small amounts of other colours but we want to see the blue and yellow really stand out).   Don’t forget you can make anything you want, it doesn’t have to be a card, all creations are welcome.  As always to be eligible for our prize draw you must use your Letraset products (promarkers, flex markers, tria markers, aqua markers or metallic markers) and of course follow the theme.

Our generous sponsor this week is DigiStamp Boutique and the lucky winner will receive a £10.00 voucher to spend in their online store.
