Hello again crafters,  I’m back to announce our lucky winners for last week’s special anniversary challenge “anything goes”.  There were so many gorgeous entries and the DT had a wonderful time visiting your blogs.  Myself, Gina and all the DT would like to thank you for all your lovely comments and we really appreciate your support over the years and for making our little challenge blog the success it is today – without you it would be nothing. We would also like to say a big thank you to our sponsors for offering such amazing prizes each week.

Week 838 - Special Anniversary challenge - ATG!

*** WARNING – LONG POST ***

Grab a cuppa and a biscuit (or two) and make yourself comfortable!

Good morning dear crafters. We hope you had a good week last week and managed to fit some crafting into your busy schedules.  It was lovely to see your gorgeous entries for last weeks ‘masculine’ challenge; as always the DT had a wonderful time visiting your blogs and seeing your beautiful creations.  Don't forget to check back later to find out who the lucky winner of the 1 digi images courtesy of Dr Digi's House of Stamps will be and to see who Lorraine has chosen as her Top 5 Passionista.

Onto this week's challenge and we have a very special one for you this week as it's our 17th Anniversary. Can you believe it's been 17 years since Gina and myself started our little blog?  It only seems like yesterday when we nervously made our first post!  Time flies when you’re having fun.  As it's a special challenge we have a really easy theme for you of "anything goes".  As the title suggests you can make anything you like this week as long you colour with markers.  We are hoping to see lots of entries but please note that as we have extra prizes up for grabs this week we are only accepting a maximum of 3 entries per person for this one challenge only.  Remember the only rule is colour your image with your markers and have fun!

As always we have some fantastic prizes up for grabs and our sponsors have been very generous as usual.  Here we go....

We hope you have a brilliant week and we cannot wait to see what you create.  Good luck!

Hugs, Denise, Gina and DT x x
