Week 620–Christmas critters

Good morning lovely crafters, we hope you had a great week last week.  Thank you for your gorgeous entries for our ‘happy & thankful’ challenge.  It was so lovely to have you join us and as always the DT had a wonderful time visiting your blogs and seeing your amazing creations.  Don’t forget to pop back later to find out who won the 3 digi images courtesy of The Paper Shelter and also to see who Linda has chosen as her Top 5 Passionista.

Onto the new challenge, which has been set by Julie from Team 1, and she has given us the theme of ‘Christmas critters’.  Julie knows most of you are well into your Christmas production by now but I’m sure there are some of you (like me) who haven’t even started yet so hopefully this week’s challenge will help you kickstart your creativity.  Julie doesn’t mind what you make this week as long as it’s a Christmas creation.  There are so many lovely images around for the Christmas period so we cannot wait to see all your gorgeous entries.  Don’t forget you can enter any type of creation it doesn’t have to be a card.  The only rule we have is 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. 

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):

Week 522–Christmas critters

Good morning lovely crafters, I hope you all had a fantastic week last week. Thank you for all your gorgeous entries for last week’s ‘3 or more layers’ 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 $12 voucher courtesy of A Day for Daisies 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 Shelly from Team 1, and she has given us a theme of ‘Christmas critters’. As the run up to Christmas is now in full swing and most of us are scrabbling to complete all our cards Shelly has given you all a very easy theme this week, she would just like you to include any Christmas critter on your creations.  We can’t wait to see what you make.  Remember you can enter using any type of creation, it doesn’t have to be 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
