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 'include gems and/or pearls' challenge.  It was lovely to see your entries and as always the DT had a wonderful time visiting your blogs and seeing your gorgeous creations.  I’ll be announcing Elaine'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 Lili of the Valley and they offered one lucky winner 4 digi images of their choice from their online store.  As always we used random.org and he chose:

Please email us at passionformarkerschallenge@gmail.com and let us know what images you would like and we will arrange for them to be sent to you. We hope you will proudly display our winners badge on your blog:

Stay safe and keep on crafting.

Week 777 - embellish it

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 ‘include gems and/or pearls' 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 4 digi images courtesy of Lili of the Valley and we will also find out who Elaine has chosen as her Top 5 Passionista.

Onto the new challenge, which was chosen by Marie from Team 1 and she has given us a theme of ‘embellish it'.  Marie would simply like you to make a creation using one or more embellishments.  It can be as simple as adding a gem or pearl or if you prefer you can add an abundance of die cuts, flowers, sequins, ribbons etc.  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 Di's Digi Stamps who are offering one lucky winner a prize of a £6.00 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):
No card this week
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.

Hugs, Denise, Gina and DT x x

Onto the new challenge, which was chosen by Elaine from Team 2 and she has given us a theme of ‘include gems and/or pearls’.  As the title suggests Elaine doesn’t mind what you make this week as long as you have some gems or pearls (or both) on it.  Now we know how much crafters love bling so I’m sure this is going to be an easy challenge for you all.  Remember you can enter using any type of creation, it doesn’t have to be a card. Such a great challenge and we cannot wait to see what you create.  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 Lili of the Valley who are offering one lucky winner 4 digi images of their choice from their online store.  All of the DT have used images from LOTV 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):
