Week 842 - things with wings

Good morning lovely crafters, we hope you had a great week last week. Thank you for your entries into last week's 'favourite colour combo' 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 £15.00 voucher courtesy of Clearly Besotted and we will find out who Karen has chosen as her Top 5 Passionista.

Onto the new challenge, which has been set by Marlene from Team 1, and she has given us the theme of 'things with wings’. Marlene 
would like you to simply include things that have wings on your creations this week i.e. fairies, butterflies, bees, birds, or even aeroplanes!  Your 'things with wings' can be die cut elements but just remember your entry must include a hand-coloured image also.  Easy peasy, so let’s see lots of entries. 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 use your markers to be eligible for our prize draw.  So come on, grab your markers, and have fun!

Our generous sponsor this week is Leann's World 101 and they are offering one lucky winner 2 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):

Stay safe and sending our love to you all.

Onto the new challenge, which has been set by Karen from Team 2 and she has given you the theme of ‘favourite colour combo’. Karen is being kind to you this week and has chosen a really simple challenge; you can make anything you like just let us know what your favourite colour combo is (it’s always nice to find new colour combos 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.  Don’t forget you can enter any type of creation it doesn’t have to be a card.  Just remember your entry must include a hand-coloured image to be eligible for the prize draw.  The only rule we have is to use your markers and have fun!

Our generous sponsor this week is Clearly Besotted Stamps and they are offering one lucky winner a £15.00 voucher to spend in their online store.
