Week 460–Winner & Top 5 Passionista

Hello again friends, I’m back to announce our lucky winner and top 5 passionista for last week’s “anything but a card” challenge.  Sadly it wasn’t a very popular challenge but we hope it was just because you were all busy with your little darlings going back to school. The DT had a wonderful time visiting the blogs of the 4 gorgeous entries we did have and seeing your creations.  Unfortunately Sue doesn’t need to choose her Top 5 passionista but at least you all get that honour this week!

For last week’s challenge we were sponsored by Leann’s World 101 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. 4

Zeljka Grizic

Congratulations Zeljka, your Halloween creations are gorgeous.  I love the cute images and your colouring is perfect.  Please email us at promarkerchallenge@gmx.com with your choice of 2 digi images and we will arrange for you to receive your prize. 

We would like to say a big thank you to all 4 lovely crafters to entered our challenge last week.  You are all Passionistas and as always we wanted to share your lovely makes with everyone:

Week 460–anything but a card!

Good morning lovely crafters, I hope you all had a fantastic week last week. Thank you for your gorgeous entries for last week’s ‘for the boys’ challenge; as always it was lovely to see your wonderful creations and the DT had a brilliant time visiting your blogs. Please remember to come back later as we will be announcing the lucky winner of the 2 digi images courtesy of All Dressed Up stamps and we will also be finding out who Kitty has chosen as her top 5 passionista.

Onto the new challenge, which has been set by Sue from Team 1, and she has given us the lovely theme of ‘anything but a card’.  Sue cannot wait to see what you make this week.  Some ideas from the DT include a tag, a decorative hanger, a bauble, a frame and a box.  Of course you can make whatever you like and we are excited to see what you come up with.  Whatever you make please remember you can enter using any type of creation (that is not a card) but as always to be eligible for our prize draw you must use your Winsor & Newton (formerly Letraset) products (promarkers, flex markers, tria markers, aqua markers or metallic markers). Please can you help us by stating which products you have used on your creation i.e. ‘coloured with promarkers’ etc. Thanks x x

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.  Their images are super cute so why not pop over to the store and check them out. Some of the DT were lucky enough to use 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):
