Week 745 - Winner & Top 5 Passionista

Hello again friends; we hope you’ve had a great day so far.  I am so sorry for the very late post tonight; I am enjoying the Euros24 football and completely forgot to do the post!  Anyway we’re finally back to announce our lucky Winner and Top 5 Passionista for last week’s ‘add a number' challenge.  Unfortunately it didn't grab your attention but thank you for the lovely entries we did have; as always the DT had a wonderful time visiting your blogs and seeing your gorgeous creations.  I’ll be announcing Linda's Top 5 Passionista in a moment but firstly let’s find out who our lucky winner is!

For last week’s challenge we were sponsored by The Paper Shelter and they offered one lucky winner 3 digi images of their choice from their online store.  As always we used random.org and he chose:

No. 3

Pam's Pearls

Congratulations Pam, what a beautiful keepsake for baby Olivia. The image is adorable and your colouring is fantastic. We have a new email address so please contact us at passionformarkerschallenge@gmail.com and let us know your choice of images and we will arrange for them to be sent to you. We hope you will proudly display our winners badge on your blog:

Now onto the Top 5 Passionista and Linda had a wonderful time visiting your blogs and seeing your amazing creations. It was a really tough decision but after much deliberation here are her favourite 5:

Week 746 - use a die

Good morning lovely crafters; we hope you all had a fantastic week last week.  Thank you for your gorgeous entries into last week's 'add a number' 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 The Paper Shelter and also who Linda has chosen as her Top 5 Passionista.

Onto the new challenge, which has been set by Sarah from Team 1, and she has given us the theme of ‘use a die'.  Sarah doesn’t mind what you make this week as long as you include a die cut panel or shape on your creation.  There are so many lovely dies around so we cannot wait to see all your gorgeous entries. Such a brilliant theme, don't you agree; we can’t wait to see what you make. 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 Dies to Die For 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):
