Week 861 - 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 'favourite digi or stamp' 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 Karen'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 All Dressed Up Stamps who offered one lucky winner 2 digi images of their choice from their online store.  As always we used random.org and he chose:

No. 22
Handmade Penny Black Christmas Card using Wishes for Kisses rubber stamp

Congratulations Eve, what an adorable card. The image is so cute and your colouring is perfect. Who doesn't love a Penny Black hedgie right?  Please email us at passionformarkerschallenge@gmail.com and let us know what images you would like and we will arrange for them to be sent to you.  We hope you will proudly display our winners badge on your blog:

Now onto the Top 5 Passionista and Karen had a wonderful time visiting your blogs and seeing your amazing creations. After much deliberation here are her favourite 5 (in linky order):

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.
Last week's winner, Irene, has asked us to offer her prize to another crafter (how kind of her).  We have redrawn the prize of 2 digi images courtesy of Leann's World 101 and the lucky redrawn winner is:

How to make a slider card with an autumn fox, featuring an orange fox peeking over a large orange pumpkin decorated with colourful autumn leaves. The cream background has yellow-brown inked edges, leaf details and scattered splatters. The “Happy Birthday” sentiment sits at the top, with a brown pull tab labelled “Pull” extending above the card.


Congratulations Renske, what an adorable card. The image is so cute and your colouring is perfect.  Please email us and let us know what images you would like and we will arrange for them to be sent to you.  Don't forget to grab a winners badge from above for your blog. 

We hope you all have a wonderful week and find some time to enter our current challenge ‘square cards only’ – full details in the post below.

Hugs, Denise, Gina and DT x x

Week 862 - square cards only

Good morning lovely crafters, we hope you all had a fantastic week last week. Thank you for your gorgeous entries into last week’s ‘favourite digi or stamp' 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 2 digi images courtesy of All Dressed Up 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 ‘square cards only'. As the title suggests Marlene only wants to see your square cards this week; it can be any size square but no rectangles or shaped cards allowed this week!  Your card can be for any occasion/theme so this should be an easy challenge for you.  Such a lovely theme and we cannot wait to see what you create. 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 who 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):
