Week 679–things with wings

Good morning lovely crafters; can you believe it's already the last day of February, where did the month go?  We hope you had a great week last week and enjoyed our ‘favourite digi or stamp’ challenge.  Thank you for all your gorgeous entries; it was so lovely to have you join us and as always the DT had a wonderful time visiting your blogs and seeing your amazing creations. Don’t forget to pop back later to find out who won the 3 digi images courtesy of Conie Fong and also who Karen has chosen as her Top 5 Passionista.

Onto the new challenge, which has been set by Marlene from Team 1, and she has given you a theme of ‘things with wings’.  Marlene would like you to simply include things that have wings on your creations this week i.e. fairies, butterflies, bees, birds, or even aeroplanes!  Your 'things with wings' can be die cut elements but just remember your entry must include a hand-coloured image also.  Easy peasy, so let’s see lots of entries.  Don’t forget you can enter any type of creation it doesn’t have to be a card.  The only rule we have is use your markers and have fun!

Our generous sponsor this week is Di’s Digi Stamps and they are offering one lucky winner a $6.00 voucher to spend in their 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):
