Week 700–summer in full bloom

Good morning lovely crafters, we hope you all had a fantastic week last week.  Thank you for your gorgeous entries into last week’s ‘Christmas animals’ challenge.  It was lovely to have you join us and as always the DT had a brilliant time visiting your blogs and seeing your beautiful creations.   Don’t forget to pop back later to find out who won the $6.00 voucher courtesy of Di’s Digi Stamps and also 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 ‘summer in full bloom’.  Lorraine basically wants to see your floral creations this week; summer is the perfect time to see all the beautiful flowers in gardens and the countryside so we hope this will inspire you.  We can’t wait to see what you make.  Don’t forget you can enter any type of creation it doesn’t have to be a card but you must include a hand coloured image.  The only rule we have is 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 have used images from Alex Syberia Designs 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):
