Good morning dear crafters, I hope you all had a brilliant week last week.  Thank you all so much for your gorgeous entries for last week’s ‘use blue & yellow’ challenge.  There weren’t too many entries but I suppose you are all outside enjoying the lovely weather at the moment, and who can blame you!!!  The DT had a fantastic time visiting your blogs and enjoyed seeing your wonderful creations.    Don’t forget to come back later to find out who Sue has chosen as her top 5 passionista and to find out who the lucky winner of the £10.00 voucher courtesy of DigiStamp Boutique will be! 

Onto this week’s challenge which has been set by Shelly from Team 1 and she has given us the theme of “rags to riches”.  Shelly would like you to recycle something on your card or creation.  It can be simply re-using some ribbon you had on a present, or cardboard packaging.  Whatever you use please can you tell us in your post.  Remember you can enter using any type of creation, it doesn’t have to be a card.  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).

Our generous sponsor this week is Polkadoodles and they are offering one lucky winner a prize of 2 gorgeous digis – ‘Fredericka chic’ and ‘Fredericka debutante’.

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.

The design team have worked their magic once again this week and have created beautiful cards to inspire you (please click on their names to visit their personal blogs).  Some of them used gorgeous images from our generous sponsor:

Andie

Donna
