Week 718 - baby it's cold outside

Good morning lovely crafters; we hope you all had a fantastic week last week.  Thank you for your gorgeous entries into last week’s ‘winter’ 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 3 digi images courtesy of Colour of Love Digis and also who Kitty has chosen as her Top 5 Passionista.

Onto the new challenge, which has been set by Sue from Team 1, and she has given us the theme of baby it's cold outside'.  Sue wants you to make something inspired by the cold weather; it doesn't have to be Christmas themed it can be winter or simply using an image that is bundled up in their scarves/hats for outside fun.  Such a great challenge don’t you think and we hope it will be a popular one.  Please remember you can enter using any type of creation, it doesn’t have to be a card but whatever you make please remember you must include a hand coloured image to be eligible for our prize draw.  So come on, grab your markers, and have fun!

Our generous sponsor this week is The Paper Shelter and they are offering one lucky winner 3 digi images of their choice from their online store.  All of the DT have used the 'winter walk' image from The Paper Shelter 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):

Taking a short break

Another week of wonderful inspiration from the DT!! We hope you can join in with our challenge this week and we look forward to seeing what you create.

Stay safe and sending our love to you all.
