Week 800 - anything goes

Good morning lovely crafters, we hope you all had a fantastic week last week. Thank you for your gorgeous entries into last week’s ‘dies and/or punches' 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 £6.00 voucher courtesy of Di's Digi Stamps and we will also find out who Karen has chosen as her Top 5 Passionista.

Onto the new challenge, which was chosen by Marlene from Team 1 and she has given us a theme of ‘anything goes'. Marlene doesn't mind what you make this week as long as you have hand coloured your images using markers.  It can’t get any easier than that can it, so go wild and get colouring.  Such a great challenge and we cannot wait to see what you create. Don’t forget you can enter any type of creation it doesn’t have to be a card 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):
Unfortunately Marlene had a fall off her bike and cannot take part this week - feel better soon x x
