Week 773 - birthdays

Good morning lovely crafters, we hope you all had a fantastic week last week.  Thank you for all your gorgeous entries into last week’s ‘favourite colours’ challenge; 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 lucky winner who will win the 3 digi images courtesy of Colour of Love Digis and we will also find out who Nat has chosen as her Top 5 Passionista.

Onto the new challenge, which was chosen by Lisa from Team 1 (before she stepped down from the DT) and she has given us a theme of ‘birthdays’ (as it happens to be her birthday today - happy birthday Lisa!).  This is the easiest theme you could have - we simply want you to make a creation suitable for a birthday.  It can be for anyone , any colours and any design.  Don’t forget you can enter any type of creation it doesn’t have to be a card although you do have to include a hand coloured image; so grab your favourite markers and get colouring.  

Our generous sponsor this week is RAM Stamps who are offering one lucky winner a prize of a £10.00 voucher to spend in their online store.  All of the DT have used images from RAM Stamps 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):

Lorraine

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.
