Thank you again for making our challenge blog such a success and we look forward to spending many more years with you!!

We hope you all have a wonderful week and find some time to enter our current challenge ‘going dotty’ – full details in the post below.

Week 741 - going dotty

Good morning lovely crafters, we hope you all had a fantastic week last week and enjoyed our special anniversary challenge.  Thank you for your gorgeous entries into last week’s ‘anything goes’ challenge.  It was lovely to have so many of 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 7 lucky winners – yes 7!!  Just for this one week there will be no Top 5 Passionista as there are so many winners.  

Onto the new challenge, which has been set by Karen from Team 2, and she has given us the fantastic theme of ‘going dotty’.  Karen doesn’t mind what you make this week as long as it has lots of dots on it.  It can be dots on your image, dotty paper, dotty ribbon or even a dotty embossing folder.  Such a simple theme this week and we cannot wait to see all your gorgeous entries.  Don’t forget you can enter any type of creation it doesn’t have to be a card.  As long as you have used your markers to do some colouring you can make whatever you like.  So just grab your markers, join in and have some fun!

Our generous sponsor this week is Clearly Besotted Stamps and they are offering one lucky winner a £15.00 voucher to spend in their online store. 

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):

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.

Onto this week's challenge and we have a very special one for you this week as it's our 15th Anniversary. Can you believe it's been 15 years since Gina and myself started our little blog?  It only seems like yesterday when we nervously made our first post!  Time flies when you’re having fun.  As it's a special challenge we have a really easy theme for you of "anything goes".  As the title suggests you can make anything you like this week as long you colour with markers.  We are hoping to see lots of entries but please note that as we have extra prizes up for grabs this week we are only accepting a maximum of 3 entries per person for this one challenge only.  Remember the only rule is colour your image with your markers and have fun!

As always we have some fantastic prizes up for grabs and our sponsors have been very generous as usual.  Here we go....
