Week 804 - anything but square

Good morning lovely crafters, we hope you all had a fantastic week last week. Thank you for your gorgeous entries into last week’s ‘special occasions' 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 2 digi images courtesy of All Dressed Up stamps and we will also find out who Nat has chosen as her Top 5 Passionista.

Onto the new challenge, which was chosen by Sarah from Team 1 and she has given us a theme of ‘anything but square'. Sarah would like you to think outside the box this week and make a card that is not square.  It could be round, star, any shape you like or simply just a rectangle card.  Sounds like fun doesn’t it!!  Such a brilliant theme, don't you agree and we can’t wait to see what you make. You can enter using any type of creation, it doesn’t have to be a card. 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 Dr Digi's House of Stamps who are offering one lucky winner 2 digi images of their choice from their online store. All of the DT have used images from Dr Digi's House of Stamps on their creations this week.

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):
