Wek 709 - for a man or boy

Good morning lovely crafters, we hope you all had a fantastic week last week and managed to do some crafting. Thank you for your gorgeous entries into last week’s ‘colours of autumn’ 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.  Please remember to come back later as we will be announcing our lucky winner who will receive the 2 digi images courtesy of Rachelle Anne Miller and we will also be finding out who Julie has chosen as her top 5 passionista.

Onto the new challenge, which has been set by Nat from Team 2 and she has given you the lovely theme of ‘for a man or boy’ to inspire you this week.  Nat doesn’t mind what you make this week, as long as it’s masculine themed.  Now we know that male creations are probably not your favourite but you know you have to make them sometimes so why not join in our challenge and get ahead on those masculine makes on your list.  We can’t wait to see what you create; just remember your entry must include a hand-coloured image.  The only rule we have is use your markers and have fun.  

Our generous sponsor this week is Polkadoodles and they are offering one lucky winner 3 digi images of their choice from their online store. All of the DT have used images from Polkadoodles on their creations.  


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):
