Week 753 - Winner and Top 5 Passonista

Hello again friends; we hope you’ve had a great day so far.  We’re back to announce our lucky Winner and Top 5 Passionista for last week’s ‘add a button'' challenge; although we would if we had enough entries.  Oh dear obviously the challenge didn't spark any inspiration for you last week so Karen is having the week off as she won't need to choose her favourite 5.  As we only had 4 entries obviously they will all be top passionistas.  However as always the DT had a wonderful time visiting your blogs and seeing your gorgeous creations.  I don't think it's any secret who the winner is but I did random.org just to pick which one.  

For last week’s challenge we were sponsored by Polkadoodles 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. 2

Wendy Waldorf

Congratulations Wendy, what an adorable tag. The image is super cute and your colouring is fantastic. Please email us at passionformarkerschallenge@gmail.com with 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:

So as we only had 4 entries from Wendy we are going to showcase all of them as our Top 4 Passionista.  We're glad you were inspired by our challenge Wendy and used up some of your neglected buttons.

Week 754 - Hip to be square

Good morning lovely crafters; we hope you all had a fantastic week last week.  Oh dear last week's 'add a button' challenge was a little disappointing but we appreciate the entries we did have.  As always 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 Polkadoodles and unless anything changes Karen will have a week off from choosing her Top 5 Passionista!

Onto the new challenge, which has been set by Marlene from Team 1, and she has given us the theme of ‘hip to be square'.  Marlene loves square cards so she has given us the super easy theme this week of simply making a square card. If you want to be teachers pet you can also incorporate some squares on your layout too! 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 Rachelle Anne Miller and she is offering one lucky winner a £10.00 voucher to spend in her online store.  All of the DT have used images from RAM Stamps current new release called 'candy shop' scene creator digital stamps on their cards 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):

Week 753 - add a button

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 sentiment’ 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 3 digi images courtesy of Colour of Love Digis and also revealing who Marie has chosen as her Top 5 Passionista.  

Onto the new challenge, which has been set by Karen from Team 2, and she has given us the fantastic theme of ‘add a button'. Karen simply wants you to add buttons onto your creations this week.  You can use just one, or two or even more, but as long as there is at least one button you are good to go.  You could even use patterned paper with buttons or an image with lots of buttons. We all have a stash of buttons sitting neglected in our craft drawer I’m sure so let’s give them some love this week!  A lovely theme and we hope it will inspire you.  Don't forget you can make anything you want, it doesn’t have to be a card, all creations are welcome.  The only rule we have is that you must have a hand coloured image on your creation.  So grab your markers, join in and have some 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.  Most of the DT have used images from Polkadoodles 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):
