Week 557–buttons and/or bows

Good morning lovely crafters, I hope you’re all doing ok.  Thank you so much for all your gorgeous entries into last week’s ‘shades of blue’ challenge.  It was lovely to see your wonderful entries and as always the DT had a brilliant time visiting your blogs and seeing your gorgeous creations.  Please remember to come back later as we will be announcing our lucky winner who has won the $6.00 voucher courtesy of Di’s Digi Stamps and we will also find out who Shelly has chosen as her Top 5 Passionista.

Onto the new challenge, which has been set by Karen from Team 2, and she has given us the theme of ‘buttons and/or bows’.  Karen doesn’t mind what you make this week as long as you include either some buttons or bows (or both!).  What an awesome challenge and I’m sure most of you have some buttons and ribbons in a jar somewhere even if you don’t use them so much these days.  We can’t wait to see what you make.  Don’t forget you can enter any type of creation it doesn’t have to be a card.  Remember 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 products you have used on your creation I.e. ‘coloured with promarkers’ etc.  Thanks x x

Our generous sponsor this week is Crafty Sentiments designs and they are offering one lucky winner 3 digi images of their choice from their online store.  Most of the DT have used images from Crafty Sentiments designs on their creations this week. 

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):
