Week 380–All creatures great and small

Good morning crafters. Before we begin today’s challenge we have some very heart-breaking news to share with you. Sadly our very talented and lovely teamie Eileen has sadly passed away. She was a wonderful lady and always created amazingly inspirational cards for us at PFP and also for her other design teams. I didn’t know her in ‘real life’ but got to know her really well through the challenge blog and she will be sadly missed by all who knew her. RIP beautiful Eileen, gone but not forgotten x x
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We hope you all had a fantastic week last week. Thank you for all your entries for last week’s ‘feminine fancy’ challenge. As always it was lovely to see all your wonderful entries and the DT had a brilliant time visiting your blogs. Please remember to come back later as we will be announcing our lucky winner who will receive the £15.00 voucher courtesy of Dies to Die For and we will also be finding out who Nic has chosen as her top 5 Passionista.

Onto the new challenge, which has been set by Nat from Team 2, and she has given us the fantastic theme of ‘all creatures great and small’. Nat would simply like you to make a creation with an image of a creature on it i.e. animal, insect, bird etc. 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 Winsor & Newton (formerly 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 All Dressed Up stamps and they are offering one lucky winner 2 digi images of their choice from their online store. There are so many super cute images available you will be spoilt for choice. The DT were lucky enough to use some of their images on their creations this week.
