Hello again crafters,  I’m back to announce our lucky winners for last week’s special anniversary challenge “anything goes”.  There were so many gorgeous entries and the DT had a wonderful time visiting your blogs.  Myself, Gina and all the DT would like to thank you for all your lovely comments and we really appreciate your support over the years and for making our little challenge blog the success it is today – without you it would be nothing. We would also like to say a big thank you to our sponsors for offering such amazing prizes each week.

Anyway enough of the sloppy stuff, here is the real reason you are here – the winners!  There are multiple winners this week as we had lots of lovely prizes up for grabs.  As always, to be fair, we used random.org and these are the chosen ones!:

We hope you all have a wonderful week and find some time to enter our current challenge ‘4 legged friends’ – full details in the post below.

Week 790 - 4 legged friends

Good morning lovely crafters, we hope you all had a fantastic week last week and had a fun Bank Holiday weekend (in the UK at least). Thank you for your gorgeous entries into last week’s ‘special anniversary challenge - ATG'; 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 winners - yes multiple winners - who will win the amazing prizes offered by our very generous sponsors.  Just for this one week there will be no Top 5 Passionista.

Onto the new challenge, which was chosen by Marlene from Team 1 and she has given us a theme of ‘4 legged friends'. As the title suggests Marlene would like you to simply use images of things that have 4 legs – simples!  We don’t have to see all four legs in the image but we are only accepting animals with 4 legs i.e. dogs, cats, bears, monkeys etc.  Please remember you can enter using any type of creation, it doesn’t have to be a card but whatever you make 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 Polkadoodles who are offering one lucky winner a prize of 3 digi images of their choice from their online store.  All 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):
(using Polkadoodles image 'Bella bear bouquet'
(using Polkadoodles image 'surprise cake - Horace & Boo')
(using Polkadoodles image 'Scruff dog with heart cookies')
(using Polkadoodles image 'Scruff the dog gardening')
(using Polkadoodles image 'Scruff the dog gardening')
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
