Week 524–grandparents or older people

Happy New Year dear friends!  We hope you all had a very Merry Christmas and are now looking forward to a happy and healthy 2020. I’m sure you were all good girls (and boys) and Santa brought you some lovely new crafty goodies to play with!  Unfortunately there seems to have been quite a lot of illness around this year, so if you were feeling under the weather during the holidays we hope you are starting to feel better now.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for all your support during 2019 and we hope you will continue to support our challenges in 2020.  On the topic of challenges we had a fantastic response to our month long Mega Christmas challenge and the whole of the DT had a wonderful time visiting your blogs and seeing your amazing creations.  Don’t forget to come back later to check out the exciting bit – finding out who the lucky winners are!  As we had multiple sponsors there will be lots of lucky winners so come back this evening and see if you are one of them!

Ok onto the new challenge, which has been chosen by Linda from Team 2 and she has chosen ‘for grandparents or older people’ – what an awesome challenge, don’t you agree?  As the title suggests Linda would like you create something for your grandparents or any older people.  There are some fun images around so I’m sure you will find this a simple challenge.  Remember you can enter using any type of creation, it doesn’t have to be a card.  Please can you help us by stating which markers you have used on your creation i.e. ‘coloured with promarkers’ etc.  Thanks x x

Our generous sponsor for our first challenge in 2020 is Dr Digi’s House of Stamps and they are offering one lucky winner 2 digi images of their choice from their online store. 

Sadly we are starting off the new year saying goodbye to Jacky from team 2 – we wish you well Jacky and thank you for all your gorgeous creations for us at PFP.

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 the their personal blogs).

A great start to the year from the DT.  Such wonderful inspiration for you! We hope you can join in with our challenge this week and we look forward to seeing what you create.  Don’t forget we are back to normal this week so Linda will be choosing her top 5 at the end of the challenge. 

Hugs, Denise, Gina & DT x x

Week 523–Mega Christmas challenge 2019!

*** WARNING – LONG POST ***

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

Good morning dear crafters, we hope you all had a fantastic week last week. The DT really enjoyed visiting your blogs and seeing you fabulous creations for our “Christmas critters” challenge.  Don't forget to check back later to find out who the lucky winner of the £20.00 voucher courtesy of Clearly Besotted stamps will be and also to see who Shelly has chosen as her top 5 Passionista.

This week we are launching our very special “Mega Christmas challenge” which runs for a whole month and ends on 7th January 2020!  I’m sure you’ll agree that both design teams have worked extremely hard once again this year and they deserve a little break to catch up on their last minute gifts and cards.  However to make up for the lack of challenges we have some fantastic prizes up for grabs!

Our very simple theme for the Mega Christmas challenge is “anything goes”.  We would like to see absolutely anything for this challenge, no restrictions apart from the obvious one of course!  You are welcome to make Christmas creations but as the challenge will still be running after the ‘BIG’ day you can of course make any type of creation.  As time is precious for our DT at this time of year we are limiting the number of entries you can make to just 3 for this month long challenge.  Please remember to be eligible for our prizes you must use your promarkers, flex markers, tria markers, metallic or aqua markers.  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

So now for the exciting bit – the prizes!

Dies to Die For are offering 1 lucky winner a £15.00 gift voucher

Uniko Stamps are offering 1 lucky winner 1 stamp set (must be in stock)

Di's Digi Stamps are offering 1 lucky winner a $6.00 gift voucher

So here are the gorgeous cards from team 2 (please click on their names to visit their personal blogs):

We’re sure you’ll agree that their cards are stunning.
