Week 840 - summertime

Good morning lovely crafters, we hope you had a great week last week. Thank you for your entries into last week's 'happy birthday' challenge; the DT had a wonderful time visiting your blogs and seeing your amazing creations. Please remember to come back later as we will be announcing our lucky winner of the 'A Curious Cake' digi set courtesy of The Paper Shelter and we will find out who Elaine has chosen as her Top 5 Passionista.

Onto the new challenge, which has been set by Marie from Team 1, and she has given us the theme of 'summertime’.  Marie would like you to create something that depicts summer; it can be a beach scene, sitting in the garden, riding a bike, or simply eating an ice-cream.  We hope you’ll have fun and can’t wait to see what you create this week.  Don't forget you can enter using any type of creation, it doesn’t have to be a card but whatever you make please remember 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 Colour of Love Digis and they are offering one lucky winner 3 digi images of their choice from their online store.

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):

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.
