I’ll be announcing Marie's Top 5 Passionista in a moment but firstly let’s find out who our lucky winner is!

Week 809 - favourite colours

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 ‘autumn colours’ challenge.  It was lovely to have 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 £15.00 voucher courtesy of Dies to Die For 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 favourite colours'Karen is being kind to you this week and has chosen a really simple challenge for you; you can make anything you like just let us know what your favourite colour combo is (or favourite at the moment, we know how fickle us crafters can be) and it’s always nice to find new colour combos that we might not of thought of 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. We hope you’ll have fun and can’t wait to see what you create this week.  Don’t forget you can enter any type of creation it doesn’t have to be a card; the only rule we have is to use your markers and have fun!

Our generous sponsor this week is Colour of Love Digis and they are offering one lucky winner 3 digi images of their choice from their online store.  All of the DT have used images from Colour of Love 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):
