Week 846 - CAS (clean and simple)

Good morning lovely crafters, we hope you all had a fantastic week last week. Thank you for your gorgeous entries into last week’s ‘animals’ challenge. It was lovely to have you join us and as always the DT had a brilliant time visiting your blogs and seeing your beautiful creations. Don’t forget to pop back later to find out who won the £6.00 voucher courtesy of Di's Digi Stamps and also who Nat has chosen as her Top 5 Passionista.

Onto the new challenge which this week has been chosen by Sarah from Team 1 and she has given us the fab theme of 'CAS (clean and simple)'. Sarah doesn’t mind what you make this week, as long as you keep it clean and simple. This is Sarah’s favourite style of card and I know it's sometimes difficult to step away from all the layers and embellishments but the effect is very striking. We hope you are up for this week’s challenge and we see lots of 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 to use your markers and have fun!

Our generous sponsor this week is Dies to Die For 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):

Good morning lovely crafters, I hope you all had a fantastic week last week. Thank you for your gorgeous entries for last week’s ‘add a sentiment’ challenge.  As always it was lovely to see all your wonderful creations and the DT had a brilliant time visiting your blogs.

Onto the new challenge, which has been set by Lisa from Team 1, and she has given us a theme of ‘clean & simple’.  Lisa would like you to make your image the focus of your card this week using very few embellishments or none if you can manage it!!  We know it’s going to be tough for some of you but we think you are up to the challenge.  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

Week 330–Clean & Simple (CAS)

Good morning dear crafters, I hope you all had a fantastic week last week.  Thank you for all your gorgeous entries for last week’s ‘flower power’ challenge.  You certainly kept the DT busy and as always they had a brilliant time visiting your blogs and seeing your amazing creations.  Please remember to come back later as we will be announcing our 2 lucky winners, one who will receive the 6 pack of neon markers courtesy of Letraset and the other who will win the €10.00 voucher courtesy of Michele R Designs.  We will also be finding out who Marie has chosen as her top 5 Passionista.

Before we announce the new challenge we have a DT update to share with you.  As I mentioned previously Lotta has stepped down from the DT but that means we have a new DT member joining team 2 from 9th February – please give a warm welcome to Karen – check out her wonderful blog, you won’t be disappointed. 

Onto the new challenge, which was originally set by Lotta from Team 2.  However as Lotta has now stepped down from the DT I (Denise) will be taking over her challenge this week.  Her brilliant theme this week is  “Clean & Simple (CAS)”.  We would like you to simply make your image your focus of your card using very few (none if you can manage it) embellishments at all.  Please remember you can enter using any type of creation, it doesn’t have to be a card.  As always to be eligible for our prize draw you must use your Letrasetproducts (promarkers, flex markers, tria markers, aqua markers or metallic markers) and of course follow the theme.  Please can you help us by stating which Letraset products you have used on your creation i.e. ‘coloured with promarkers’ etc.  Thanks x x
