Week 573–birthdays

Good morning lovely crafters, we hope you are ready for our first challenge of 2021.  First things first, have you noticed our new Passion for Markers blog header designed by our very own DT member Lisa M. – what do you think?  We hope you love it as much as we do.  We also have a new logo in the sidebar that you can grab for your own blogs and we will also have new winner and top 5 badges from this challenge onwards.  So remember going forward from this challenge you can enter our challenges using any markers you like such as Copics, Spectrum Noir, Zig Clean Color Brush markers, Karin Markers etc.  Of course most of us will still be using our beloved promarkers but all are welcome. 

I hope you’ve all had a wonderful Christmas and New Year.  The last month has just whizzed by hasn’t it!  Thank you for all your lovely entries for our Mega Christmas challenge challenge.  It was amazing to see all your gorgeous entries and as always the DT had a brilliant time visiting your blogs and seeing your creations.  Please remember to come back later as we will be announcing all our lucky winners – how exciting. 

Onto the new challenge, which has been set by Lisa M. from Team 1, and she has given us the theme of ‘birthdays’.  As the title suggests Lisa wants to see all your birthday creations this week.  I don’t think it can get any easier than that to start us off this year.  Don’t forget you can enter any type of creation it doesn’t have to be a card.  So pull out your favourite markers and get colouring.  

Our generous sponsor this week is Lee Holland Designs and he is offering one lucky winner 2 digi images of their choice from his online store.

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):

Don’t forget there is still time to win a £10.00 voucher if you share our post over on Facebook which announced the changes to our challenge rules (we will be closing it on Friday) so get over to FB and spread the word.

Stay safe and sending our love to you all.

Hugs, Denise, Gina and DT x x
