Week 835 - Winner & Top 5 Passionista

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 'heroes: super or real' 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 Sarah'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 Dies to Die for and Tracy offered one lucky winner a £15.00 voucher to spend in her online store. As always we used random.org and he chose:

No. 9

Congratulations Lynne, what a fantastic card.  The images are so much fun and your colouring is amazing. Please email us at passionformarkerschallenge@gmail.com and we will arrange for your voucher code to be sent to you. We hope you will proudly display our winners badge on your blog:

Now onto the Top 5 Passionista and Sarah had a wonderful time visiting your blogs and seeing your amazing creations. After much deliberation here are her favourite 5 (in linky order):
Lynne R. (must be your lucky week!)
Congratulations to you all; you can now proudly display the Top 5 Passionista blinkie on your blogs. If you need any help with this please email us at passionformarkerschallenge@gmail.com.
Unfortunately last week's winner didn't contact us to claim their prize so we have re-drawn another winner for the 3 digi images from Polkadoodles.  Again using random.org the lucky re-drawn winner is:
No. 7.
Congratulations Jenn, your card is super cute and your colouring is fantastic.  Please email us at passionformarkerschallenge@gmail.com and let us know what 3 images you would like and we will arrange for them to be sent to you. Please grab a winner's badge from above for your blog.  

We hope you all have a wonderful week and find some time to join in with our current challenge 'furry friends/animals'' - full details in the post below.

Stay safe and keep on crafting.

Hugs, Denise, Gina and DT x x

Week 836 - furry friends/animals

Good morning lovely crafters, we hope you all had a fantastic week last week.  Thank you for your gorgeous entries into last week’s ‘heroes: super or real’ 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 lucky winner who will receive the £15.00 voucher courtesy of Dies to Die For and we will also be finding out who Sarah has chosen as her top 5 passionista.

Onto the new challenge, which has been set by Wendy from Team 2 and she has given you the theme of ‘furry friends/animals’ to inspire you this week.  Wendy has given you all a very easy theme this week, she would like you to include a furry friend or any animal on your creations this week; it can be your focal image, your patterned paper, ribbon or even die cuts; just remember your entry must include a hand-coloured image to be eligible for the prize draw.  You can enter using any type of creation, it doesn’t have to be a card we love to see all your handcrafted items such as ATC's, scrapbook pages, etc., so grab your markers and get colouring!

Our generous sponsor this week is Di's Digi Stamps and Di is offering one lucky winner a £6.00 voucher to spend in her online store.  

The design team have created beautiful cards once again this week (please click on their names to visit their personal blogs and leave them some love!):

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
