Week 745 - add a number

Good morning lovely crafters, we hope you all had a fantastic week last week.  Thank you for your gorgeous entries into last week’s ‘summer’ 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 winner of the 2 digi images courtesy of All Dressed Up Stamps and also revealing who Sue has chosen as her Top 5 Passionista.  

Onto the new challenge, which has been set by Linda from Team 2, and she has given us the fantastic theme of ‘add a number’.  Linda would like you to simply add a number somewhere on your creation.  It could be as simple as adding the recipient's age, for an anniversary or even the 25th of December.  You could even use patterned paper, ribbon or washi tape with numbers on.  Hopefully this will be a popular challenge and 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.  The only rule we have is use your markers and have fun! So just grab your markers, join in and have some 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 images 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):

Onto the new challenge, which has been set by Sue from Team 1, and she has given us the theme of ‘summer'.  When Sue set her theme she did think that summer would be in full swing by now but as we all know the British weather is anything but predictable!  Sue would like you to create something that depicts summer; it can be a beach scene, sitting in the garden, riding a bike, or simply eating an ice-cream.  We hope you’ll have fun and can’t wait to see what you create this week.  Don't forget 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 All Dressed Up Stamps and they are offering one lucky winner 2 digi images of their choice from their online store.  The DT have all used images from All Dressed Up Stamps on their creations this week.
