Week 860 - autumn colours

Good morning lovely crafters, we hope you all had a fantastic week last week. Thank you for your gorgeous entries into last week’s ‘birthdays' 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 £15.00 voucher courtesy of Dies to Die For we will also find out who Elaine has chosen as her Top 5 Passionista.

Onto the new challenge, which was chosen by Marie from Team 1 and she has given us a theme of ‘autumn colours'. As the title suggests Marie doesn’t mind what you create or even what theme you follow as long as you use autumnal colours i.e. oranges, reds, greens, browns etc!!  
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 but 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 Leann's World 101 who are offering one lucky winner 2 digi images of their choice from their online store.  Most of the DT have used images from Leann's World 101 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):
(using Leann's World 101 image 'Alaina')
(using Leann's World 101 image 'autumn blessings')
(using one Leann's World 101 image from the 'Halloween collection')
Taking a short break 

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
