Week 544–it’s a summer thing!

Good morning lovely crafters, I hope you all had a fantastic week last week and enjoyed celebrating our 11th anniversary with us.  Even though it was a Bank Holiday yesterday in the UK not everyone is ‘out of lockdown’ yet so even if you weren’t able to go out I hope you could still enjoy the sunshine in your gardens or on your outside exercise. Thank you for all your gorgeous entries for last week’s ‘special anniversary challenge’ where our theme was spots and/or stripes.  We were delighted to see lots of lovely entries and as always the DT had a brilliant time visiting your blogs. Please remember to come back later as we will be announcing our 6 lucky winners!

Onto the new challenge, which has been set by Marie from Team 1 and she has given us the theme of ‘it’s a summer thing’.  Marie is making it really simple for you this week.  She would like to see all your summery images, summery colours or even just summer themed embellishments; as long as it reminds us of summer we will accept any creations.  We hope you’ll have fun and can’t wait to see what you create this week. Remember you can enter using any type of creation but as always to be eligible for our prize draw you must use your Winsor & Newton (formerly Letraset) products (promarkers, brush markers, flex markers, tria markers, aqua markers or metallic markers). Please can you help us by stating which products you have used on your creation i.e. ‘coloured with promarkers’ etc. Thanks x x

Our generous sponsor this week is Lee Holland Designs who is offering one lucky winner a prize of 2 digi images from his online store.  His images are so super cute and the DT were lucky enough to use Lee’s images on their creations.

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):

Good morning dear crafters. We hope you had a good week last week and now that the lockdown seems to be lifting in a lot of areas we hope you can manage to fit some crafting into your schedules.  Unfortunately last week’s ‘baby projects’ challenge didn’t entice many entries but the ones we did have were super adorable.  You will all be eligible for a Top 5 passionista award unless we get a few last minute entries.  Don't forget to check back later to find out who is the lucky winner of the 3 digi images courtesy of Colour of Love digis.
