Week 687–frame it

Good morning lovely crafters, we hope you all had a fantastic week last week.  Thank you for your gorgeous entries into last week’s ‘in the garden’ 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 4 digi images courtesy of Lili of the Valley and we will also find out who Wendy has chosen as her Top 5 Passionista.

Onto the new challenge, which has been set by Lorraine C. from Team 1, and she has given us the fantastic theme of ‘frame it’.  Lorraine C. doesn’t mind what you make this week as long as it includes some sort of frame.  It can be a die cut frame, a stamped or embossed frame or even a frame made from lace or embellishments.  Easy peasy, right?  Remember you can enter using any type of creation, it doesn’t have to be a card.  So just grab your markers, join in and have some fun!

Our generous sponsor this week is Dr Digi’s House of Stamps and they are offering one lucky winner 2 digi images of their choice from their online store.  All of the DT have used images from Dr Digi’s HOS 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):
