Good morning dear crafters.

Can you believe it's been 16 years since Gina and myself started our little blog?  It only seems like yesterday when we nervously made our first post!  Time flies when you’re having fun.  As it's a special challenge we have a really easy theme for you of "anything goes".  As the title suggests you can make anything you like this week as long you colour with markers.  We are hoping to see lots of entries but please note that as we have extra prizes up for grabs this week we are only accepting a maximum of 3 entries per person for this one challenge only.  Remember the only rule is colour your image with your markers and have fun!

As always we have some fantastic prizes up for grabs and our sponsors have been very generous as usual.  Here we go....

We hope you have a brilliant week and we cannot wait to see what you create.  Good luck!

Hugs, Denise, Gina and DT x x

Week 788 - favourite colour combo

Good morning lovely crafters, we hope you all had a fantastic week last week and we hope our US/Canadian friends had a lovely Mother's Day.  Thank you for your gorgeous entries into last week’s ‘make it bloom' 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 £15.00 voucher courtesy of Clearly Besotted Stamps and we will also find out who Marie has chosen as her Top 5 Passionista.

Onto the new challenge, which was chosen by Karen from Team 2 and she has given us a theme of ‘favourite colour combo'. Karen is being kind to you this week and has chosen a really simple challenge; you can make anything you like just let us know what your favourite colour combo is (it’s always nice to find new colour combos isn’t it?).  Obviously we know that our favourites can change from day to day and week to week so don’t worry you are allowed to enter more than one favourite.  Don’t forget you can enter any type of creation it doesn’t have to be a card.  Just remember your entry must include a hand-coloured image to be eligible for the prize draw.  The only rule we have is use your markers and have fun!

Our generous sponsor this week is The Paper Shelter who are offering one lucky winner a prize of 3 digi images of their choice from their online store.  All the DT have used images from The Paper Shelter 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):
