Week 683–spring

Good morning lovely crafters, we hope you all had a fantastic week last week.  Thank you for your gorgeous entries into last week’s ‘birthday cards’ challenge.  It was lovely to to have you join us and as always the DT had a brilliant time visiting your blogs and seeing your beautiful creations.  Please remember to come back later as we will be announcing our lucky winner who will win the 2 digi images courtesy of Rachelle Anne Miller and we will also find out who Linda has chosen as her Top 5 Passionista.

Onto the new challenge, which has been set by Julie from Team 1, and she has given us the fantastic theme of ‘spring’.  Julie would simply like you to make a creation inspired by spring time.  You can interpret any way you like; we’d love to know what spring means to you?  Maybe it’s flowers starting to bloom or cute little lambs being born, whatever it is we want to see it!  Easy peasy, right? Remember you can enter using any type of creation, it doesn’t have to be a card.  Just use your markers and have fun!

Our generous sponsor this week is Alex Syberia Designs and they are offering one lucky winner a £10.00 voucher to spend in their online store (digital products only).  Most of the DT were lucky enough to use images from Alex Syberia Designs on their cards 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):
