Week 642–Special Anniversary challenge!

*** WARNING – LONG POST ***

Grab a cuppa and a biscuit (or two) and make yourself comfortable!

Good morning dear crafters. We hope you had a good week last week and managed to fit some crafting into your busy schedules.  It was lovely to see all your gorgeous entries for last weeks ‘pearls and/or gems’ challenge; as always the DT had a wonderful time visiting your blogs and see your beautiful creations.  Don't forget to check back later to find out who the lucky winner of the 3 digi images courtesy of Stampers Delights will be and to see who Marlene has chosen as her Top 5 Passionista.

Onto this week's challenge and we have a very special one for you this week as it's our 13th Anniversary. Can you believe it's been 13 years since Gina and myself started our little blog?  It only seems like yesterday when we nervously made our first post!  Time flies when your having fun.  As it's a special challenge we have a really fun theme for you of "spots and/or stripes".  As the title suggests you can make anything you like this week as long you include some spots, stripes or both!  We are hoping to see lots of entries but please note that as we have extra prizes up for grabs this week we are only accepting a maximum of 3 entries per person for this one challenge only.  The only other rules we have are use your markers and have fun!

As always we have some fantastic prizes up for grabs and our sponsors have been very generous as usual.  Here we go....

Stunning cards as always I’m sure you’ll agree.  Please remember for this challenge we will only accept 3 cards/projects per person.  Also just for this one week we will not be choosing a Top 5 Passionista as we have lots of extra winners, however this will go back to normal next week.

We hope you have a brilliant week and we cannot wait to see what you create.  Good luck!

Hugs, Denise, Gina and DT x x
