Firstly we would like to thank all our generous sponsors, without whom our challenges would not be the same!  We are grateful that so many of them have once again continued to sponsor us this year along with some lovely new sponsors too. 

As we explained at the start of the Mega Christmas challenge we weren’t choosing any top 5 passionista for this one challenge only so listed below are all winners of prizes!  We used random.org to choose our winners and we went in order of the prizes listed in the challenge post.

Edited to add – Kanda has decided to offer her prize to someone else so I have redrawn another winner for the 3 digis from Crafty Sentiments Designs and that lucky person is ** No. 47 – Alison B. **

Thankfully we used random.org otherwise we couldn’t never have chosen our winners, all your entries were so beautiful.

Congratulations to all our winners – we’re sorry you couldn’t all be winners but check out this week’s challenge for another chance to win a prize courtesy of Letraset.  Please can all our winners email us stating the sponsors name in the subject line.  Please note you have until next Monday to claim your prize, otherwise a new winner will be chosen.

Week 278–sketch

Happy New Year dear crafters.  We trust you all had a very Merry Christmas and are now looking forward to a happy and healthy 2015.  However I know there was quite a lot of illness around this year, so hopefully if you were feeling under the weather during the holidays you are starting to feel better now. 

We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for all your support during 2014 and we hope you will continue to support our challenges in 2015.  On the topic of challenges we had a brilliant response to our month long Mega Christmas challenge and the whole of the DT had a wonderful time visiting your blogs and seeing your amazing creations.  Don’t forget to come back later to check out the exciting bit – finding out who the lucky winners are!  As we had multiple sponsors there will be lots of lucky winners so come back this evening and see if you are one of them!

Ok onto the new challenge, which has been chosen by Loopy Lou from Team 1.  As it’s the first challenge of the new year Loopy Lou has decided to start us off gently and has given us a brilliant sketch to use this week.  Here is the sketch:

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 sketch.

Our generous sponsor this week is Letraset and they are offering a prize of a Promarker Manga 12 pen set (Chibi).

The design team have worked their magic once again this week and have created beautiful cards to inspire you, although due to illness, moving house etc we are a bit thin on the ground this week – sorry!  (please click on their names to visit their personal blogs):
