Week 573–birthdays

Good morning lovely crafters, we hope you are ready for our first challenge of 2021.  First things first, have you noticed our new Passion for Markers blog header designed by our very own DT member Lisa M. – what do you think?  We hope you love it as much as we do.  We also have a new logo in the sidebar that you can grab for your own blogs and we will also have new winner and top 5 badges from this challenge onwards.  So remember going forward from this challenge you can enter our challenges using any markers you like such as Copics, Spectrum Noir, Zig Clean Color Brush markers, Karin Markers etc.  Of course most of us will still be using our beloved promarkers but all are welcome. 

I hope you’ve all had a wonderful Christmas and New Year.  The last month has just whizzed by hasn’t it!  Thank you for all your lovely entries for our Mega Christmas challenge challenge.  It was amazing to see all your gorgeous entries and as always the DT had a brilliant time visiting your blogs and seeing your creations.  Please remember to come back later as we will be announcing all our lucky winners – how exciting. 

Onto the new challenge, which has been set by Lisa M. from Team 1, and she has given us the theme of ‘birthdays’.  As the title suggests Lisa wants to see all your birthday creations this week.  I don’t think it can get any easier than that to start us off this year.  Don’t forget you can enter any type of creation it doesn’t have to be a card.  So pull out your favourite markers and get colouring.  

Our generous sponsor this week is Lee Holland Designs and he is offering one lucky winner 2 digi images of their choice from his 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):

Don’t forget there is still time to win a £10.00 voucher if you share our post over on Facebook which announced the changes to our challenge rules (we will be closing it on Friday) so get over to FB and spread the word.

Stay safe and sending our love to you all.

Week 544–it’s a summer thing!

Good morning lovely crafters, I hope you all had a fantastic week last week and enjoyed celebrating our 11th anniversary with us.  Even though it was a Bank Holiday yesterday in the UK not everyone is ‘out of lockdown’ yet so even if you weren’t able to go out I hope you could still enjoy the sunshine in your gardens or on your outside exercise. Thank you for all your gorgeous entries for last week’s ‘special anniversary challenge’ where our theme was spots and/or stripes.  We were delighted to see lots of lovely entries and as always the DT had a brilliant time visiting your blogs. Please remember to come back later as we will be announcing our 6 lucky winners!

Onto the new challenge, which has been set by Marie from Team 1 and she has given us the theme of ‘it’s a summer thing’.  Marie is making it really simple for you this week.  She would like to see all your summery images, summery colours or even just summer themed embellishments; as long as it reminds us of summer we will accept any creations.  We hope you’ll have fun and can’t wait to see what you create this week. Remember you can enter using any type of creation but as always to be eligible for our prize draw you must use your Winsor & Newton (formerly Letraset) products (promarkers, brush markers, 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
