Good morning dear crafters, I hope you all had a fantastic week last week. Thank you for your gorgeous entries for last week’s ‘clean & simple’ challenge.

Please remember to come back later as we will be announcing our lucky winner who will receive the $21.00 voucher courtesy of Bugaboo stamps and we will also be finding out who I chose (on behalf of Shelly) as my top 5 Passionista.

Onto the new challenge, which was originally set by Sue from Team 2 (however sadly Sue has now stepped down from the DT) and she is has given us a theme of “spots and/or stripes. We would like you to simply make something that includes spots, stripes or if you’re feeling brave both spots and stripes! We can’t wait to see what you make. As Sue is no longer able to choose her top 5 I will be doing it instead. Remember you can enter using any type of creation, it doesn’t have to be a card. 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. Please can you help us by stating which Letraset products you have used on your creation i.e. ‘coloured with promarkers’ etc. Thanks x x

Our generous sponsor this week is Uniko stamps and they are offering one lucky winner 1 stamp set of their choice (which must be in stock). They have so many gorgeous stamps to choose from you will be spoilt for choice!

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):
