Week 799 - dies and/or punches

Good morning lovely crafters, we hope you all had a fantastic week last week.  Thank you for your gorgeous entries into last week’s ‘birthday' 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 3 digi images courtesy of Colour of Love Digis and we will also find out who I have chosen (on behalf of Marie) as my Top 5 Passionista.

Onto the new challenge, which was chosen by Karen from Team 2 and she has given us a theme of ‘dies and/or punches'. Karen doesn't mind what you make this week as long as you include some die cuts or punched pieces.  This is always a very popular challenge and I know I can’t make a card anymore without reaching for the dies, so hopefully this week’s challenge will have lots of entries and we cannot wait to see what you create.  Please remember you can enter using any type of creation, it doesn’t have to be a card but whatever you make please 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 Di's Digi Stamps who are offering one lucky winner a £6.00 voucher to spend in her 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):

Kitty

Nat

Wendy

Elaine

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.

Week 789 - 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 ‘favourite colour combo’ 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 3 digi images courtesy of The Paper Shelter will be and to see who Karen 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 16th Anniversary. Can you believe it's been 16 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!
